Village of Fort
Crook Has Mulct
System of Its Own
PAPILLION. Neb. Feb ll.-iSpeouU-Itecent
investigations by County Att irtiey
Hegley develop the fact that the village
of Fort Crook has a method all Its own
In dealing with the liquor traffic Sev-'
eral bootleggers were arrested and prose
cuted for alleged Illegal selling ot beer
and whisky, and in the process of his
Inquiry he got wise to the fact that tho
village was collecting a regular monthly
license or fine of $12 from oah joint.
County Attorney Hegley served u sub
poena duces tecum on the village clerk
of Fort Crook, commanding him to mliu
the official records of the village '.o
court as evidence. An examination of
the records showed that $12 was paid by
the Joint keepers every month for the
right to run their Joints. Tho clerk ex
plained that they felt that the law pt in
venting saloons In the fort was tinfnli'
and they were operating a little system
of their own to get tho revenue. 1'l.t.
records further showed that tho slot m i
chlncs which were placed In each joint
paid one-third of the proceeds o the
owner of tho machines, another third to
the Joint keeper and the other thirl t.)
the vlllago of Fort Crook.
The agent for the Missouri Pacific .it
Fort Crook was also subpoenaed an!
commaned to bring his books to PaplWon
for Inspection concerning liquor ship
ments to the fort. The amount of booio
shipped ovei; this line was rather a ref
lation to those who were not familiar
with the situation. The agent was
warned that he had better refuse all
future shipments of liquor while the
present laws were In effect or he' aril
the road he- represented would get lino
trouble. The young man regretted this
exceedingly, as the commission on liquor
shipments materially boosted his salary.
