LINCOLN EXCISE LAW VOID
Court KNOCKS Out Four Prosecutions for Il
legal sale Of Liquor.
NO EVIDENCE LAW WIS EVER P~UBLsHEO
20 Far - Municipal Regulation f.
Concerned Anyone Can sell
Liquor at Any Time or Place
Il lease the seller.


LINCOLN, Neb.. April A-Cspecial.l-
Judge Cosgrsve has decided in four cases
Of the women arrested for illegal sale OF
liquor that prosecution must stop, owing
TO the invalidity Of the excise laws. A
demurrer fled in the four cases calls at
tention to the fact hat no afidavits OF
publication as provided by law can be
found to prove the proper publicity has
been given the excise laws. The original
roll OF the excise laws caunot be found.
This question had been raised before in
the Hoover case. In that instance the de
murrer was withdrawn because the at
torney for the defense had effected an
other means Of settling the litigation.
The prosecution in the present cases has
appealed to the district court. As 1t stands
the excise laws of Lincoln are void.
Liquor may now be sold regardless Of the
provisions and regulations recently en-
forced.
The cases we're the elimination Of the
recent primaries. One portion charged
that the city administration had been negll-
gent in enforcing the excise liquor laws
and that liquor could be bought in the
west end resorts where no licenses had
been granted. Complaints were sworn out
by Chief Of Police Hoagland. After two
postponements the case came to trial. The
demurrer was argued all day by attorneys.

SURVEYORS PASS BY HOOPER

Town by Two M~iIes-Runs
Through Nickerson.

FREMONT. Neb.. April 4.--(special.)-
The h. a NJ. surveyors who are running the
line for the proposed extension from Ash
land to Sioux City have been working jhis
week In Dodge county. The survey passes
tn the east Of Hooper, the nearest point
TO that place being about e half a mile
south and two miles east. About three
miles south Of Hooper It reaches the North
western tracks and parallels them closely
to a point a mile and a half south Of Nick
erson where the corps were working this
afternoon. The work appears to be moro
than a mere preliminary survey as dis
tances and levels are being accurately
taken and yesterday they went over the
line from Nickers6n north a second time.
Hooper people are feeling much disap-
pointed as the location OF a new town east
Of them will draw away considerable trade
which has always come to that own while
Nickerson business men are correspon-
ingly elnted for they feared thai the new
road would go east Of the Elkhorn river.
II would look as though the station and
yards in this city would be at some point

argument the whole line Of evidence upon
