Spillman Says Bone-Dry Law Prevents

Take Same Veiw.
Lincoln, March 31. Nebraskans
whose hopes were pitched high with
the announcement that government
permission had been granted brewer?
to manufacture at 3.75 per cent malt
are doomed to disappointment be
cause of the Nebraska dry law. At
torney General Spillman said Tues
day evening. Both the sale and
manufacture of the malt would tc
contrary to the Nebraska constitu
tional amendment pretaining to
liquor, the attorney general said.
In his statement Mr. Spillman said
that Nebraska was one of the first
"bone dry" states and that in addi
tion to the 1 8 tli amendment. Ne
braskans are bound by a state law
passed May 1, 1917, before national
prohibition took effect, which specifies
that no beverage shall contain more
than half of 1 per cent alcohol.
The law also makes clear, accord
ing to the attorney general, that cvm
though a beverage contains that
amount or less of. alcohol, if it has
other qualities which will bring about
intoxication it is prohibited.
Mr. Spillman said he is convinced
that there is no way of evaarng the
law as it stands at present.

is employed with A. L. Becker, came
driving along with a three horse, or
what is called a spike team, and the
horses getting a sniff of the scent
from the bear, thought it was time
to go, and went, with the driver
pulling and sawing on the lines all
to no effect, for the team went thru
three wire fences brushing them
away as if thy were spider webs.
The horses were finally stopped after
they had gotten away from the vic

done with the exception of the three
fences.
