SLIPPERY NICK,

Lancaster people were surprised Sat
urday morning when it was learned that
Nick Ames had made a visit to this city.
Friday afternoon Sheriff Burris and
Deputy JAS. McGonigal went to Dutch
Hollow in response to request to come
and take the fugitive as he had taken
paltry articles in that neighborhood, and
that thoir hen roosts had suffered depre-
dations. The officers found him in a
shallow mineral hole, from which a
small drift had been made comfortably
lodged and passing the time in reading
Near at hand were some chickens tied
up, and scattered about, other articles
upon which he lived
They all arrived in this city late Fri
day evening and drove up in front of the
gate leading to the jail. Here Mr.. Nc
Gonigal got out on one side and held the
team, while the sheriff and his captive
alighted on the other side. Nick no soon
er struck ground than his feet pointed in
the oppisite direction to the jail and his
legs began to carry him toward this
office at no slow rate of speed. Hold
ont" shouted the sheriff, at the same
time bringing out his revolver and fir
ing in the direction of the flying Nick.
No heed was given to the demand to
stop. and another shot was fired, but
Nick was soon over the hills and far a.
way, and search for him revealed moth
ing.
Sheriff Burris seems determined to
have him and a deligent hunt has been
in progress since Saturday, but at pres.
ent writing he had not been apprehen-

The Issue.

Next Tuesday viii be electios day,
when Mayor, and four Aldermaen and
Supervisor will be chosen for the coming
year. There sre two tickets in the field.
an Independent and No License. This
forces the issue down TO the single ones
ton shall Lancaster grant saloon license
for the coming years
Lay sentiment aside and look at il
from business stand point for mo-
ment. 1t costs to run this city govern
ment $4,000 year. ANY city official
will tell youit cannot be conducted for
less. of this amount 81, 200 is paid into
the city treasury by the saloons for IL
cense and of the remainder $500 is col
leeted by tax. II no licenses are granted
the Coming year the whole $4,000 will
have to be collected by tax, or in other
words every one who votes the no IL
eense ticket will vote to pay $500 of
city tax while this year he only paid 81.
90. Is this business? would you rather
pay So where only 81 will answer, and
vet that is precisely what you say
when you vote the No License ticket.
Suppose the No License ticket is elect
ed, will that stop the liquor traffic in
Lancaster Her own experience some
years ago. and the experience of every
city. town or village that has tried the
experiment emphaticallY says Not You
may vote not to grant leave to sell, but
the business will simply pass into disrep-
utable hands, it will rot stop. When
the liquor traffic is conducted without
the sanction of law, it is a good deal
harder to treat with. There must be
police regulations and officers to enforce
them. to prevent its open SALE Who is
to pay the expense of this? Why, the
tax payers, of course. and this will be
an additional expense, not provided for
in the So, 900 before referred to, that you
will vote to place ON your selves If you
vote the No License ticket next Tuesday.
But why change the present order of
things? Lancaster has the best class
of saloons of any city of her
size in the state. Orderly.
well conducted with proprietors
who pay close attention to the regula.
tons as they do to their business; and
who pay good round sum every year
for the privilege of dong that business
The quietness that reigns in this city is
due as much, and more, to the law abid-
ing, good citizenship of our saloon keep
ers as to the police system at present in
force. Drive the business into the back
alleys and night broils Will be frequent,
while our justices will pick up business
and grow fat on DRINKS and disorder
