Bismarck daily tribune., 1903-08-03

Edgeley reports new scheme to
overcome the prohibition law. An
enterprising individual has organized
a club under the name of the Edge
ley Club" In order to become a
member of the club, a set of bylaws
must be signed and then the member
gets tickets. for which he pays 81
each. Each ticket is good for four
bottles of beer or a dollars worth of
booze. If only one bottle is needed,
that amount is punched on the ticket.
The building used by the club for the
handling of the liquid refreshments
is the building where the recent de-
ceased sightless porker held forth. 1t
is likely the club will come to a sad
end, as the prohibition law of the
state has section drafteu especially
to cover the club plan.
