Salem, 3. ID.
Huron. :. D., April p. - Assistant
superintendent Burke. of the Chicago
Il Northwestern railroad, returned
from Salem, where he went to procure
the release of a car load of beer taken
possession of by a bevy of ladies of
that city. For some time efforts have
been made to rid the town Of blind
pigs, but without success, the authori-
ties In part being saloon men. Finally
the women determined to see what
they could do, and so far have been
victorious. A number of Indians were
there a day or two since returning to
Pierre from. Sioux Falls. One of them,
named Woodface, got drunk, and the
women caused his arrest and propose
to hold him till he tells who sold him
the liquor. They also took possession
of a car load of beer sem from a lie
Crosse firm to n man named Cooley.
They refused to surrender the same
till assured that it would be removed
from the city. They ate and slept in
the car for two days and the agent
was compelled to send for Supt. Burke.
On his arrival he was met by twenty
or more ladies, many of them among
the more prominent in the city, and
after consultation they agreed to re-
lease the car provided it and the cargo
of beer were taken u of the city.
This Mr.. Burke agreed to do. and or
dered it reshipped to Tracy, MINI. This
Is a victory for the ladies and over
which they are very jubliant.
