Liquor Floods Reservations, Court Is Told Indian Officers Declare Boot leggers Supplying Fire Wa ter to Redskins in Whole sale Quantities. Omaha federal prohibition officers were given a shock Thursday In fed eral court when government Indian off.cers declared that the State In dian reservations are being flooded with liquor. On top of this was the statement by state agents that in certain spots in Nebraska, bootlegging is on the Increase. Three cases were no sooner started than Federal Judge Woodrough took them from the jury and dismissed the defendants. Reservations Flooded. According to R. J. Hart, federal Indian officer who is attending court with seven other Indian officers, groat quantities of liquor are being shipped into the state. "We are having a time trying to dry up tbo reservation," said Hart. "Try us hard as we can we have been unable to locate the booze nests." Hart stated that ho probably would ask the assistance of local federal officers. Samardirk Willing. When asked whether he would aid Hart In the clean up of the Omaha and Winnebago reservations, Robert Sanaa rdlck stated that he would be only too glad to do so, hut because of the large number of cases he has in federal court it would be some time before he could help. rt I Sheriff J. Jensen of Thurston county, who is attending court, ad mitted that liquor is being shipped into his county. Dr. D. A. Moore, In charge of the ■Winnebago Indian hospital, also up held Hart and Jensen in their state ments. Case Dismissed. Craven Anderson of Walthlll. Neb., who was the first person dismissed by Woodrough. was besieged by friends as he left the court room. They asked him if he wouldn’t sell some liquor on credit. Anderson was charged with sale of liquor to Dr. Moore. Henry Lemmon and Walter Oumm, state officers. The court sus tained a motion to dismiss because payment for the liquor was not made until four days later. Because of a faulty search warrant, John Raeger was dismissed. Officers seized an alleged still on his place near Waltb-ll The last case was that of Mr. and Mrs. James Griffin, 1020 North Nine teenth street, accused with Leo Brun son of transporting liquor. Finds No Evidence. Judge W’oodrough ruled that Brun son. who pleaded guilty, pay a $600 fine, $350 of it being p“t on execu tion. The Griffins, he stated, might be charged with conspiring hut that there was no evidence of transporta tion. Late Wednesday Henry J.

He Here Early Friday Morning Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. Folk* M*m poascnaed th« whole world o’er To Jump from trouble Into more —Danny Meadow Mouao. Danny Meadow Mouse Escape*. Danny Meadow Mouse was being carried away In an airplane, which he called a man-bird. No more fright ened Meadow Mouse ever lived. He had peeped over the side and seen the earth, far, far, far below him. Then the wind had blown him back and he had scrambled Into a tiny cup board and burled himself In a bunch of cotton waste that was In It. He had become somewhat used to the terrible noise of the machine, so that it no longer frightened him as it did at first. But the thought of being way, way up in the air frightened him as he had never been frightened before. For a long time Danfay could think of nothing but that he was way, way up In the air and couldn’t possibly get down until that great man-bird chose to come down. He didn’t once think that he was being carried away from Nanny Meadow Mouse and the home he loved so much In the old scarecrow. When at list he did think of It he forgot everything else. "Oh! Oh!” squeaked Danny. "What ever Is going to become of me? How will I ever get back home again? Oh. dear! Oh. dear me! This Is the most dreadful thing that ever happened!” Then a comforting thought came to him. “Perhaps,” thought he, “this man-bird will return where It started from. Then everything will be all right.” Danny brightened up at the thought. It was the middle of the afternoon before anything happened. By that time Danny had become bo used to the terrible noise of that man-bird that ho really didn't mind It at all When abruptly that noise ceaaed the stillness seemed so great ns to be al most worse than the noise. Danny wondered what was going to happen. For what seemed a long time nothing happened. Then Danny felt a little M.Ca»* Look ns he would, there wasn’t a hiding place anywhere. Jar beneath him, and presently that stopped. Then he heard the man who had sat there so long moving. Danny peeped out. The man was cvllmblng out of the great man-bird. Danny's heart gave a great leap of Joy. He guessed right away that the man-bird must have come down to earth, the dear, beloved earth, once more. He heard the man busy about the man-bird for some t.ijne and he heard the voices of others gathered around, watching what the man was doing. Then, after a long, long time, all was still. Danny crept out of that tiny cupboard, climbed up to the edge of the man-bird and looked down. He expected to look down on the grass of the Green Meadows.
