Loup City Goes “Wet”
Six More Voters Want Saloons
Than Are Recorded to the
Contrary.
The city election Tuesday was one
of the most hotly contested of any
held here in years. The "wets" and
"drys" were lined up to a man and
every vote possible was out on l>oth
sides. The election, while being a
victory for the "wets.” yet was not
sufficient to allow of any special
jollification for that side, as on the
question at issue they only won out
by six votes. Still it was a pro
nounced victory in that the "wets"
won every man on their side, from
mayor down to the tail of the ticket,
by from 4 to 7'.* majorities. The
Northwestern believes in the majority
ruling, hence has no hurts or wounds
to expose. But that is by no means
saying it believes the majority right
in the premises and still contends for
the temperance side of the issue.
That we w ill have saloons the coming
year goes without saying, but that
they will continue after this year we
opine to the contrary. as undoubtedly
this winter the Nebraska legislature
will either pass the county option
law or give the voters a chance to
vote on state-wide prohibition, in
either of w hich we shall continue to
believe the temperance element will
win. In such belief we are fortified
by the wave of public sentiment that
is sweeping over the country from
o can to ocean and from the lakes to
the gulf. We do not believe, how
ever, that public sentiment in Loup
City alone will ever carry tiie city
against the believers of high license,
and the town can only l>e freed from
that influence by a county vote on
the question or a state-wide vote, in
this we are well aware that we take
issue w ith a large number of voters
on both sides and we only give it as
our opinion, giving to every one the
right to differ with us as they see
best.
Below we give the vote of Loup
City as recorded yesterday in the
different wards and the total vote of
the entire city:

Arcadia people are trying to raise

There is very little jubilating in
Loup City by either side over the
result. It was not “wet” enough to
satisfy one side and too “wet” to
please the other.
Among the towns in Nebraska
which Tuesday went “dry” for the
first time were Falls City. David City,
Homer. Tekamah. Arlington, Herman
and Blair, so far reported.
Last year when Mason City went
“dry” the adherents of the saloon
assured the people that the town
would be ruined. This year the
people were so well satisfied with ex
isting conditions that they agian
voted “dry” by a greatly increased
majority.
Taken to the Asylum.
Last Saturday, Sheriff Williams
brought from Ashton one Alfred
Dowding, an alleged insane person,
aged some 37 yeaas. and placed him
for safe keeping in the county bastile
till the commissioners of insanity
passed upon iiis condition. Monday
the commissioners passed upon the
case and Tuesday morning Sheriff
Williams took the patient to the asy
lum. ft is claimed that he has been
growing worse mentally for a period
of years till at the present his mind is
completely unbalanced.
Robbery That Wasn’t Robbery
C. W. Fredrick forgot to lock his
frontdoor Friday night and thereby
hangs a tale. About midnight, while
Night Watch IIigley was making the
rounds, he spied a light in Fredrick’s
store. lie at once went and tried the
door and found it unlocked. He went
in, and passing through the store
found that the back door was open,
but could see no one. lie lighted the
place up and 'phoned to Mr. Fredrick
who at once came down. Nothing in
the store had been disturbed. The
theory is that someone found the door
unlocked and went in. They at once
went to the back door and unlocked j
that so that they might have an exit i
either way. Then they struck a ]
light and then before any chance was .
given to relieve the store of any of !
its valuable stock, Night Watch i
Iligley appeared and frightened them ,
away." The store deals in jewelry, <
cut glass, fancy chinaware, etc., and '
a theft would" be costly. It was a '
lucky ending.—St. Paul Republican.
COUNTERFEITERS
Two Men Arrested in Ravenna
Charged with the Crime.
Andrew E. ISeers of Ravenna, was
placed under arrest by a government
secret service man named Mills. Mon
day of this week, on a charge of mak
ing counterfeit silverdollars. He was
taken to Grand Island Monday morn
ing, and the next day an otlicer came
up and took Charles Ferguson, a
horse doctor, into custody on a
similar charge.
Beers came here from Grand Island
about six months ago and has been i
working at his trade, that of a house
painter and paper hanger. He was a
man of rather quiet habits, and some
what dissipated at times. Ferguson is
a horse doctor who came here from
Cairo during the winter, and has
been a resident of Ravenna but a few
months.
Soon after Beers came here a small
amount of counterfeit coin show ed up
in this community, and Rudolph
Finder and A. Shallenbarger dropped
onto evidence which led to a suspicion
that Beers was the man who was
doing the work. Watch has been kept
on him for two or three months in an
effort to secure evidence. Mr. Shell
enbarger notified the authorities at
Omaha regarding the matter several
weeks ago, and a secret service man
was sent here who worked on the case
for a few days, but he was so in
discreet in his work that Beers took
alarm and destroyed all of his moulds.
After the secret service men left,
however, Beers seemed to conclude
that he had been unnecessarily alarm
ed and he made an entire new set of
moulds, and had four sets for mould
ing silver dollars in his possession
when he was taken into custody.
The case has been almost wholly
worked up by local men, and when
they finally secured all the evidence
they wanted the secret service de
partment was notified to come and
get their man which they did.
Reers was taken to Grand Island,
where it is said he made a full and
complete confession which implicated
the man Ferguson, which accounts
for his subsequent arrest.
Beers and Ferguson both have wives
and families living in Ravenna, and
both families it is said, are in very
straitened circumstances.
Beers seems to have been a confid
ing mortal, for he took the man who
secured the evidence against him to
his home and not only showed him
how he made the moulds but also [
cast one or two coins with babittj
metal secured at a local hardware I
store.
Beers and Ferguson attempted to
pass some of the bogus money at the
Ravenna Mercantile Co.'s store, but
Mr. Baumann, to whom the tender
was made, detected the countereit
coin and refused to accept. The same
dav Beers and Ferguson passed a
counterfeit dollar on Miss Edith
Petrick at Immel’s grocery store. It
is probable that they succeeded in
putting more of the bogus coin into
circulation, but it is thought the
amount was limited.
Mr. Shellenbarger. Mr. Finder, Mr.
Baumann and Miss Petrick have been
notified that they will be required to
go to Omaha within a few days to ap
pear as witnesses in the case in the
federal court.
Beers and Ferguson were given a
preliminary hearing at Grand Island,
before United States Commissioner
Cleary on Tuesday. Both prisoners
waived examination and were held to
appear for trial in the federal court,
Beers' bond being fixed in tne sum of
$1,000 and Ferguson’s at $2,000.
Those who have been working on
the case believe that Sanderson, the
Anslev man who was shot and killed
on the streets of Broken Bow, last
Saturday night, was associated with
Beers and Ferguson, for he has been
in Ravenna frequently of late, and
it is said that there are circumstances
which warrant a strong suspicion
that he was a member of the gang.
Ferguson put in a great deal of his
time at Cairo, and it is thought that
the three men distributed the counter
feit money as best they could at all
the towns between Cairo and Broken
Bow.
rue urana isiana independent,
speaking of Beers’ past record in that
sifcy, says:
"Beers’ brotiiers, while in this city
were painters, and the man arrested
followed the same work at Ravenna,
while his brother is working at Shelton
Dr near here. From reports the one
residing at Ravenna made counter
feiting a side issue and put some of
liis bogus money into circulation oc
casionally. The case is not one which
will run in large figures, unless it
develops that Beers has conducted
iliis work for many years. There
were never many dollars of this kind
aut out at one time. The attention
jf the secret service men was called
jo the case as these bogus dollars
were being “spilled" at Ravenna for
some time. The detectives were not
ong in locating the guilty one.
Beers does not deny counterfeiting,
ind four sets of moulds for silrer dol
afs were found in his possession. It
will be remembered that a number of
aogus dollars were in circulation in
ibis city in the past and about the
:ime Beers resided here.’’—Ravenna
