Liquor men have organized the Model
License leegue and circular explaining the
purposes of the organisation are being dis
tributed about the state. It is claimed in
their interests that they propose to obey
the liquor laws pf the state and that they
will work to Induce the legislature to
enact a law specially llrerjing saloon
keepers, providing that licenses shall be
transferable and that there shall not be
more than one saloon to every &00 people,
and providing further that if a saloon
keeper is convicted a second time for viola
tion of the law he shall be forever barred
from receiving another license. It Is al

IMMIGRANT HELD IN BONDAGE
Who trrhn la Lead Tells
Me.ry of His Wroaaa in West
lralnla.
LEAD, S. Iv, Jan. 5. (Special.! Charles
BrodRiier, a German, has just arrived here
and ip ' quarte red mith' George Bcxlk, a
former friend In the old country. Prodgncr
mas induced to come to this country by
letter received from his friend. On ar
riving in New Tork. being unfamiliar with '
the country and its mays, he was Induced
by an -agent, or a West Virginia mining
company to go there and engage In coal
mining. On arrival at the mine he was
held in practical slavery, according to his
story, being worked to the limit and not
permitted to communicate with his friend
In Lad. Finally he managed to smuggle
a letter to him and Bexik ansmeurd by reg
istered letter, sending Brodgner a ticket
to lad and Instructing him as to his
rights. Brodgner immediately started to
South Dakota, though he says the mine au
thorities trl.-d to prevent Wm front going
and refused to pay him a cent for the work
he had performed.
The case has been reported to the au
thorities at Washington and also to the
German consul, and there is a good pros
pect of their being trouble in store for the
mining company officials.
