TWENTY SEVENTH YEAR
ARRESTED FOR ILLEGAL SELLING
Keepers of Three Houses of Prostitu
tion Held to the Next Term of
District Court
R Last Saturday night thrco houses of
Hl famo in this city wore raided nnd
their owners arrested together with
twelve inmates The prisoners were
taken before County Judge J C Moore
who held them all to appear in county
court Tuesday morning at nine oclock
A dray load and a half of liquors of
various kinds wore seized in the raid
and will be used as evidence against the
keepers of tho houses
Tuesday morning the owners of the
houses appeared in county court and
through the medium of their attorney
waived examination and gavo bonds for
their appearance in the nest term of
district court the appearance bonds
being placed at 500 each which were
duly given and approved by the court
As these women wore taken with the
goods in their possession and as addi
tional evidence of a certain and accurate
character is at hand there is no doubt
of their being made to suffer for their
bold and defiant breaking of the law
It has been known for some time thac
liquors were being openly sold in large
quantities in these houses contrary to
law but evidonco to convict was lack
ing until proper detective service was
secured from outside the city The
trick was easy the more so as tho wo
men thought they were completely
protected and made little or no effort
to conceal their illegal and unlawful
traffic in liquors This liquor traffic too
was said to bo very active on Sundays
when the saloons of the city are closed
and on other days when the law closes
the regular drinking places of the city
The boldness of wholesale dealers in the
city or their confidence in being protect
ed in their traffic is noticed in the fact
that deliveries of liquors have been
made even on Sundays to these houses
The three women arrested appear on
the court record as Ruth Frost Barry
Bell Hall and Minnie Brown and the
definite charge against them is keeping
and selling beer whiskey and wines un
lawfully and wilfully without- license
or permit in their several premises
While thi3 liquor soiling is but an
incident in the terrible business of these
places where womanhood is bartered
and sold to those whom God Almighty
created as the protectors and preservers
of virtue and social purity it is to be
hoped it may serve to bring to justice
and some to adequate punishment those
engaged in the awful traffic in human
souls The appeal of every pure moth
er wife or daughter in McCook is be
hind this matter and every manly
father husband and son should be hon
orable and knightly enough to support
the effort
