300 rods above the cantileyer bridge.
When everything was ready Graham goi

rent is very slight. A small boat towed tht
cask out into the river to point where the
current would catch it, and where Graham
was started ON his trip.
The towing process took only few min
ties, and then the stream caught the cash
and started it towards the whirlpool. A

though it turned around like top. INT
cask kept pretty well in the centre OF tn
river until it reached the whirlpool when !
struck strong side current and was carrie'
swiftly through. reaching the waters De
yond in safety. From here the journey wa
comparatively quiet.
Tne cask was picked up at Lewiston

Atlanta, ia, special to St. Louis Repub-

hibit in Atlanta. The closed doors of the
Big Bonanza saloon bear pathetic testimony
to this fact. Saturday last the prOprietOrs
were arrested OH the charge OF illegal sell
ing and their doors closed. They filed
bill and got temporary restraining Ordei
from the Judge of the superior court enloin-
ing the city from enforcing its ordinance
until the merits of the case could be heard.
To-day argument on the bill was heard
before Judge Richard Ii. Clark, who held
that selling liquor by the quart and tuinlsh-
ing glasses that it might be divided up and
drank at the bar was selling by retail, and
dissolved the Injunction and allowed the
city to proceed in the enforcement OF It's or
dinance. This meant "close up and the
proprietors of the Big Bonanza shut their
doors as soon as the decision was made
known.
The Kimball house bar case will come up
Saturday and their attorneys claim that to-
days decision will not effect them, as Tor
several days past they have not allowed
any drinking on their premises but have
done legitimate business, selling by me
quart under the terms of their license.
