Wednesday morning the snloon con-
loot was compromised on ti basis of
woven saloons. The couucllmen found
tJio compromise unpopular on Norfolk
nvomio. As a result the council re
fused to ratify the agreement when it
came up in the afternoon. Council
man Garvln alone supported the morn
ing's work which a majority of the
council had been inclined to believe
as the best solution when it was first
Offered as a compromise.
As a. result the remonstrance will
ho called up Thursday afternoon. A
number of minors and other witnesses
who had been summoned to appear
Wednesday will bo kept on hand
Thursday afternoon.
M. C. Hiizcn is acting ns city attor
ney pending a regular appointment
and advised Mayor Sturgeon and the
council at the Wednesday afternoon
rtcssion.
Evidence of something of a hitch
in the compromise program evolved
Wednesday morning was apparent as
noon as the new license ordinance was
road on the council being convened
lit 2:30 : Wednesday afternoon. No
Hooncr had the ordinance been read
than two councilmen , Messrs. Kauff-
inan and Winter , announced openly
that the sentiment of the business
men and citizens was against the
morning's agreement which they as
councilmen would not support under
tlio circumstances.
The now license ordinance was
read. It was modeled ou the morn
ing's agreement. It provided for sev
en saloons at a license of $1,200 , $500
of which was to go to the school fund.
Other alterations were made in the
existing ordinance.
As soon as the ordinance was read
it was moved that the rules should
bo suspended and that the ordinance
be put on its second reading. Coun
cilman Oarvin supported the motion.
Councilmen Winter , Kauffman , Cra
ven , Fuesler , Degner and Dolan voted
in opposition to advancing the ordi
nance. Councilman Hlbben was ab
sent.
sent.Tho
The morning's "compromise" had
upparontly gone by the board.
An open discussion followed. Conn-
oilman Craven said that lie had made
no agreement at the morning session
because he thought the course mapped
out unfair.
It being now apparent that the com
promise solution had not been able to
Bland the pressure of the noon recess
the license situation slipped back into
its old position.
It was immediately decided to go
ahead on the old basis.
15. 13. Thomas , representing the W
C. T. U. , asked for time to prepare
liis cases for trial. Ho wished two
days , explaining that the situatloi
Jiail taken a very unexpected turn
Ho said that the last two days hat
boon spent not in preparing for tria
hut in working for a compromise. He
stated , however , that all the licenses
would now be contested and that ap
peals would be taken.
The attorneys for the applicants
thought that the case had been adver
tised for trial Wednesday morning
and that sufficient preparation had
been afforded.
Mayor Sturgeon suggested that the
trials he set for Friday morning.
On motion of Kauffman the hearing
was called for 2 p. m. Thursday , only
Councilman Garvin voting in opposl
lion. Mr. Kauffman stated lncldentl >
that ho had agreed to the compromise
but that ho was not prepared to dls
Iiuto the judgment of nine out of ten
of the business men or the wishes o
the men who elected him.
Mr. Thomas took occasion to pro
diet two or three months of bitte
strife.
Norfolk is still dry.
THE MORNING SESSION.
Compromise , Afterwards Smashed , Ef
fected Wednesday Morning.
It was at the morning session tha
the dove of peace was exhibited and
.1 compromise assented to by a major
ity of the council
After an hour's conference the city
council and Elmer E. Thomas , antl
fflUoon attorney , got together on a
compromise on the basis of seven ea-
loons for the coming year. A workIng -
Ing agreement along those lines had
boon reached Tuesday evening by
Mayor Sturgeon and representatives
of ilio rcnionstrntors. The terms un
der which the remonstrators would
withdraw from the field had been
written down and were presented to
the council when it came together
Wednesday morning.
It was uiso agreed that no liquor
permits should be issued to the drug
stores.
The applicants for licenses whom
the remoiiBtratora agreed to accept
without contest were P. M. Barrett ,
C. F. A. Maniuardt , John Woldenfol-
lor , Hay Weber , Martin Sporn , Emll
Mooller and J. A. Keleher.
The conference between Mr. Thom
as and the council was held In the
city ( clerk's ollico. Meanwhile the
main room of the city hall was crowd
ed. Among the crowd were many
members of the W. C. T. U. , which
had started the saloon fight.
At the close of the conference the
council filed back into the council
chambers. Mayor Sturgeon an
nounced that a compromise had been
effected. He introduced Attorney
Thomas who had an outline of the
points to which a majority of the
council had consented in coming to
an agreement with the representative
of the W. C. T. U ,
Attorney Thomas dictated the "com
promise" to the olllcinl stenographer ,
Miss Maude Clark having been en
gaged for that purpose. Mr. Thomas
Btated that the compromise was on
the basis of seven saloons , the remonstrators -
strators agreeing to withdraw their
remonstrances against seven of the
saloon keepers , whom he did not name
but a lint of whose names ho held in
ills hand.
The points which Mr. Thomas dic
tated in the presence of the council
and in consideration of which seven
specific remonstrances wore to bo
withdrawn are as follows : seven sa
loons ; an 11 o'clock closing rule the
year round ; no chairs , tables , pool
tables , dice boxes or any gambling
devices In any saloon ; a strict en
forcement of all the provisions of the
Slocum law with special emphasis on
the provisions relating to minors ; the
lowering of windows now considered
unduly high.
Mr. Thomas' announcement received
he applause of the score or so of
vomon present as representatives of
ho W. C. T. U. The W. C. T. U. had
it first stood out for a six-saloon city
nit when the councilmen at the con-
crence had refused to pass beyond
he point of closing all but seven sa-
eons the Omaha attorney had held
v short conference with the signers
> f the remonstrators and announced
bat they would accept seven saloons.
At the close of Attorney Thomas'
staten out M. D. Tyler , who with Jack
voenlgstein appeared as the legal rep-
esentatlves of the saloon men seek-
ng licenses , spoke brielly. He
bought the contemplated action un-
air at this time , especially in that it
llscrlmlnated against certain men in
aver of certain other men and that
t put the men not favored out of busi-
less without notice.
At this point Mayor Sturgeon an-
lounced an adjournment of the coun
cil until 2:30 : that a new license ordi-
lance might be drawn up and present
ed to the council.
WOULD HAVE BEEN VICTORY.
No Greater Victory Could Have Been
Hoped For by W. C. T. U.
The W. C. T. U. could ask for no
reater victory than the compromise
which was agreed to by the city coun
cil. In cutting down the number of
saloon licenses to be granted in Nor
folk at one stroke , and by naming the
applicants who are to be favored with
licenses , they would have accom
plished more than they could have
hoped for at the outset of their cru
sade.
sade.Many
Many business men agreed with At
torney M. D. Tyler who , in his ad
dress in behalf of the saloon men , de
clared that this arbitrary reduction In
the number of saloons was unfair at
this late date , when buildings were
rented , arrangements made and fix
tures on hand. Mr. Tyler argued that
if the council saw fit during the com
ing year to pass an ordinance reduc
ing the number , the ordinance to take
effect next year , the men would have
an opportunity to prepare for the
change and they , as well as owners
of the fixtures and renters of the
buildings , could get out from under
But this method , Mr. Tyler argued
and many business men agreed with
him , was altogether unfair to the ap
pllcants and owners of fixtures who
would thus be suddenly thrown out.
It was stated by one councilman
that this compromise was agreed to
in the belief that it was more fair to
the applicants than to have them shu
up for a period of thirty days , pendIng
Ing court action. But one applicant
pointed out that this was not giving
any fairness to the owner of the fix
tures , the renter of the building , who
even though he were himself thrown
out , could still realize something on
his Investment through the securing
of license by other parties , to whom
he could sell his fixtures and transfer
rent.

LITTLE BRADY GIRLS IN HOME
FOR THE FRIENDLESS.
BELONG TO FRANK BRADY
First Application of the Juvenile Court
Law In Madison County Brady
Children Sent to Home on Order of
County Court.
rProra Thursday's Dally. ]

Jenebco Brady , a little tot of three ,
and Altlo Brady , a year old baby , are
In the "Homo For the Friendless" at

der the juvenile court law.
The four Brady children were taken
to Lincoln yesterday by Sheriff and
Mrs. J. J. Clements. The court order
was executed by County Judge Bates ,
acting In the absence of District Judge
Welch of Wayne !
This is the llrst time that the famed
juvenile court law has over been car
ried into effect in this county. It has
boon invoked before but the proceed
ings Instituted have never before been
carried to a successful conclusion.
Reared in a state of poverty , de
serted for a short time past by their
father , Frank Brady , the condition of
the Brady children has been pitiful.
For some months the case has been
before one of the state organizations.
Sheriff Clements , after the papers
uul been Issued , experienced dilllculty
n getting the children. The mother ,
vith a blind love for her four little
girls , balked at the last moment. She
Iroppod out of the sheriff's sight and
or some time efforts to locate the
children wore futile.
Frank Brady and his brother , Fred ,
verc recently in a Norfolk justice
court accused of being drunk and
abusing Mrs. Brady. She was some-
lines used as a door-mat the county
attorney said. Fred Brady said he
vould step outside to consult a law-
rer. He never came back. Frank
Jrady has also dropped out of the
ime-llght. The olilcers don't know
vhero ho Is.

quite sick , is again regaining his
lealth. .
The Sons of Hermann lodge meet
ing , scheduled to be held Friday even
ing , is the first to yield to the inev
itable and postpone its meeting until
Sunday evening. When an ordinary
affair attempts to compete against a
circus , state declamatory contest and
Elks May party , all in one evening ,
the chances are mighty slim and it
may as well gracefully call off the
proceedings.
Orders for tickets to the state or
atorical contest to be held in Norfolk
Friday evening , have been coining in
freely all day and the indications are
that there will bo a large attendance
from outside of Norfolk at the con

the very best in their classes In Ne

Senator Randall of Newman Grove
Hied a complaint some time ago with
the state railway commission as dis
closed , charging that the Northwest
ern road had discontinued a train
contrary to general order No. 11 Is
sued by Mic commission , the road not
having had permission to take off any
twin. General Manager Walters of
the Northwestern , accompanied by
General Agent McGlnnls of Lincoln ,
according to a Lincoln dispatch , ap-
icared to explain that the train stari
ng on Saturday from Oakdalo and
starting on Sunday from Fremont had
been taken off , that it is a stock train
and does no local business , taking on
'reight only on special orders. Mr.
Walters claimed the right to take off
a train any day of the week. Ho said
tills stoppage was merely temporary
on account of the absolute lack of
business and that it would bo run
whenever business picks up. The com-
nisslon has the matter under consid
eration. Mr. Walters explained in re
gard to complaints of the discontin-
mnce of telegraph stations. He said
ho Northwestern Intends within a
year to run all trains by telephone In
stead of by the Morse alphabet and
hat whenever a telegraph station is
closed both commercial messages and
railroad messages are sent by tele-
) hone over a metallic circuit. He
said the service to the public Is not
curtailed.
EVIDENCE ABOUT ALL IN IN THE
DETTMAN TRIAL.
AN ACQUITTAL IS EXPECTED
The Story of the Fairfax Shooting Has
Been Gone Over in Detail Large
Crowds Have Gathered to Hear the
Testimony Given.
Fairfax , S. D. , May 5. Special to
The News : The defense in the Dett-
nan murder case rested last night
and the state offered evidence today
n rebuttal. After the arguments , the
case goes to the jury. It was thought
that today would see the close of the
case and the concensus of opinion
was that a verdict of acquittal would
esult.
The evidence has shown that the
dlllng grew out of prior trouble or
11 feeling ; that both parties had made
Jerogatory remarks and threats
against each other ; that the defen
dant went to the back door of the
[ ) eel hall and called Taylor out ; that
loud and angry words ensued ; that
Taylor struck Dettman alongside of
the head witli a revolver ; that a strug
gle occurred ; that coming to a box
about a foot high Dettman seemed to
stumble and fell on the box and Tay
lor on top of him ; that Dettman said
'Let up , George , or I'll shoot you , "
and fired almost immediately with
fatal result.
Considerable Interest is manifest
over the case and the large opera
house where court is being held is
well filled all through the trial.

NEVER SUCH AN EXPERIENCE IN
NORFOLK BEFORE.
DOORS ARE STILL NAILED UP
The Bowl Which Cheers Lacks Very
Much of Being in Evidence In the
Regular Haunts and "Medicine"
Cannot be Dispensed at Drug Stores.
Such a dryness !
[ From Thursday's Dally. ]
Thursday Norfolk entered on the
third day of her " "
experience as a "dry"
town. For three days neither saloon
Hcenses nor drug store permits have
u'een in force. The experience has
been unique.
So far back that the memory of
Norfolk's oldest inhabitant runs not
to the contrary , Norfolk has never
been so long away from the bowl
which cheers.
A stranger walked down Norfolk
avenue yesterday. He carried a suit
case and a look of disgust. "Elec
tion ? " he inquired. "Remonstrances , "
grunted a native. "Mo for the depot , "
muttered the stranger as he hit for
the station.
"Norfolk dry ? " said a Madison coun
ty man just In last evening , "How very
strange. How very , very dry. Why
I would have stayed at home. "
Norfolk streets have been crowded
since the saloons closed. An exciting
topic of conversation lias kept many
on the streets and there has been no
saloons to congregate in.
"See , the poor man has no place
to go when the saloons close , " said
one citizen. "The saloon Is his club
house. "
"The poor man should go to work , "
said the second citizen. "Tho saloon
encourages loafing. "
So the argument varies.
