Members of the East End Athletic
club have elected Otto Trefz manager
of this years football team. The boys
of the east end had a winner last year
and the prospects for a champion team
are brighter than they have been for
some time. Several new men have
joined the club and this will strength
en- the team. The boys will don their
suits for practice the latter part of
August for they will schedule many
games this season and they want to
open the season early. The manager
will try and get the crack Peoria team
here for the opening game, which will
be played about Sept. IS. This team
is a strong one and should prove a
good drawing card. Some of the best
teams of Illinois and Iowa will be seen
on the gridiron this fall and the lovers
of the game will be treated to some
sensational playing.

LIQUOR IS PLENTIFUL
IN CECIL COUNTY
Grand Jury Says That 1t Is
Unable to Locate the
Dealers

Elkton, Nd. Feb. 22.-The February
Grand Jury for Hartford county in its
report says. regarding the violation OF
the local option law;
1T is a notorious fact that the local
option law is being openly violated In the
different parts Of the county, more es-
pecially in the town Of Belair. In in
vestigating this deplorable condition at
this season. we have confined ourselves
to Belair and summoned persons whom
we have every reason to believe were
regular frequenters and patrons OF the
illegal saloons. Some of them have been
seen in the town in a state of intoxica-
ton; some Of them had within the past
two months been arrested on the streets
of the town and conaned in Jail for be-
ing drunk and disorderly, and fined by
magistrates. and some OF them were evil
denuy intoxicated when they testihfd
before the Grand Jury, and yet from
most of these people we were unable to
get testimony either as to what beverage
they had bought or when or where they
got it. This exhibition shows a bad con-
dition Of morals, such as we did not be-
lieve existed"
The report further states that a num-
ber OF witnesses before the Grand Jury
appeared to have no regard for the
solemnity Of an oath and that they were
willing TO commit perjury to shield the
violators Of the law.
