Bitter Opposition to saloons.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
SALEM, Ind, March 24.-For several days
past there has been a case in court here
that has attracted much attention and
crowded the court room at every session.
The temperance citizens who desired to rid
Salem Of saloons failed to get demonstrators
enough in the township to prevent Aleck
Brock and Jack Rats from obtaining IL
cense. They sprung a surprise on them in
the commissioners Court, charging both
with being unfit persons 10 sell intoxicating
drinks and charging on the former many
violations Of law, such as running a gam
bling house and selling TO minors. Rats with
drew his application, but Brock waived
judgment and took his case to court The
trail lasted four days and the jury was out
nearly t~wenty-four hours weighing the testi-
mony, which was complicated. because Of
the fact that nearly one hundred witnesses
testified and many of them could not recol-
lect whether Brock had gambled with them
or not. The evidence showed that many
young men went to these places and was
sensational, from the fact that they were
given dates and times when they were there.
The ministers in the churches preached on
the prevailing vice, as shown by this trial,
and the whole affair has stirred up much
feeling and condemnation of the men who
are fostering gambling and drinking places
in Salem.
