There is a very general impression 10 night:
however. that there WIS a cOlOrod man and
brother at the back Of the action OF the an
thortles. and that something more than the
determined attitude of the law element was
a factor ia tue premises upon which the pro-
hibtiOn was based.
Il was broadly hinted and IL many places
boldly charged that the move was IN tai 8

To bear upon The sheriff by certain friends OF

road tracks will be rendered useless The neck
Of land separating the river above and below

feet. and the banks are caving in acre by acre

awakening to a sense of the necessity oil thor

should the river cut through the Kansas bot
toms st. Joseph would be deprived of three of
Its most important lines of railr Dads for months
at least. The iron bridge now spanning the
stream at that point would b rendered useless,
all communication with the Kansas farmers
would be cut of, and it would be impossible to
estimate the damage to the merchants and
business men. The sewer system would be
rendered useless, and directly in front of The
city would be situated a filthy and death-breed-
ing lake that could not be displaced with
millions.
