tho city,
I'rotn Information secured yesterday
which Is reasonably correct, tho present
onslaught Is a fight between rival
breweries, tho Miller, Storz, Mete, Fabut.
Schlltx. Anhetiser-TUtsch and others.
Where It started, why and by whom lias
not been fully disclosed, but It Is Bald
that It may take a wldo scope, Involving
saloons In marij states, Including all ot
those In Iowa and other states where
s.'lous legislation has mado the saloon
men the lesUtmate prey of blackmailers.
H w'as learned yesterday that the pre
sent raid was contemplated and being
arranged, for by other parties and that
the breweries stepped In at tho last mo
ment, In tho original plan a woman was
to have been tho complaining witness, but
in the suits filed yesterday George Starr's
namo was used. Starr Is said to be an
employe of an Omaha brewery, or con
nected with tho Omaha asency of a
brewery. Tho attorney In the enso, who
Hives notice that he wants tho $25 statu
tory lawyer's fee. In each case, la Carl
Tienjamln of tho Bcnjnmbt firm, with of
fices In Omaha and Counoll muffs.
In the original notices served yesterday
the declaration Is made that tho petitions
in tho suits will be filed on or before
January 21,
The Tnll YounK Mnti.
Tho appeal for Injunctions against tho
saloonmen Is based upon tho allegation
that the,y have been selling to minors
and habitual drunkards. It Is said that
tho evidence of siilo to a minor was
secured within a week by a man brought
here for the purpose. Ho Is said to weigh
about 190 pounds and to bo more than
six feet tall. While he looks to bo at
least 23 or 30 years old, ho claims to bo
only 19. It Is said that he has bought a
bottlo of liquor from every saloon In
town.
It is said that If tho young man can
chow he Is not 21 years old and tho
iroof that he bought liquors Is substan
tiated, it may put every saloonman It
Council Bluffs out of business and pre
vent tho property In each Instance ever
again being used for saloon purposes.
In each case temporary and permanent
injunctions arc qsked against tho saloon
men and tho property they occupy. If
a temporary injunction is issued tho sa
loon men named cannot again enter tho
business at any point within the , Fif
teenth Judicial district for a period of
five years. If the injunction Is perm
nent they, aro .barred forevpr and tho
property .they occupy cannot legally
again bo used for saloon purposes..
It Is said the periodical, or rather regu-
lar attacks, upon tho Council Bluffs bo
loons have been lucrative employment
for a certain class of attorneys, but who
found it ultimately very unprofitable. Ot
the many who tried It, not ono has to'
malned in the city. It waa this bad
reputo that brought hero the alleged law
yer employed by tho so-called Des Moines
Anti-Saloon league.
The saloon men who are to bo mulcted
took tho matter very seriously yesterday
and employed tho best legal talent In
tho city with tho determination to mako
a istlff fight. In the batch of suits filed
yesterday, all but one of tho hotels In
the city where bars ar maintained wero
caught, Including the bar at the Union

The National
Colorado Must Let
Water Be Carried
Into Husker State
DISNVHIt. Jan. 3. Tho state of Colo
rado's ownership of tho water within its
boundaries does not permit It to refuse
to allow water to bo carried across Mate
lines, according to n ruling by Federal
Judgo It. K. Lewis, yesterday refusing to
dismiss the enso of tho Pioneer Irrigation
Compnny of Nebraska against. State isn
glnoer Field and others.
Attorney General Farrar contended that
tho stato could not bo compelled to nub.
mil to tho Jurisdiction of tho federal
court, and claimed Immunity tinder tho
eloventh amondmcnt. contending mere-
foro that Attorney E. II. Pafk, repre
senting tho Pioneer company, could npt
maintain his suit against Colorado stat
officials.
Tho suit of tho Pioneer company seeks
to torco tho Colorado stato official to
glvo to and pormlt seven feet of water to
cross into Nebraska, claiming the Pioneer
company had priority filing as to time,
and that such priority, not stato lines,
governed.
Tho ruling of, Judgo Lewis obliterates
stato lines, and will havo an Important
bearing on the suit brought by Wyoming
against Colorado and by Nebraska against
Wyoming.
It Is probable that tho stato of Colo
rado will carry the controversy to tho
United States supremo court.
