several others heard McElwain's call
for help and went to his assistance,
pulling Olmstead from the form OF the
editor.
In the current issue of his paper,
Editor McElwain denounced the sa-
loon and its managers, calling upon
the public to sign a petition then IN
circulation, appealing to the town
council to revoke the saloon license,
close the pool halls on Sundays and
appoint a marshal who would do MS
duty This is assumed as the cause
Of the attack on McElwain.

able bitter feeling having been en-
gendered as a result.
The day following the assault upon
Editor McElwain meeting of the
town council was held and the question
of the revocation of Vances saloon
license was taken up and put to
vote. The council was evenly divided
upon the question, the mayor casting
the deciding vote, and for a time the

saloon league, was present, and took
an active part in the fight upon the
saloon.

Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City. Iowa. Oct. 11.-Dr.
J. C. McMahon who, in years
gone by, was one of the leading prac-
titioners of LeMars and later of Sioux
City on his own motion, was COM
mitted to the state hospital for inebri-
ates at Knoxville by Judge Gaynor.
A striking sermon was presented by
his personal appearance. Tottering,
trembling in every limb, his figure
emaciated until his once powerful form
has shrunk into the mere semblance OF
a man, Dr. Mcmahon made pitiful
entrance into the court room. He told
the judge he simply couldn't quit it.,
and that he thought himself it was
best for him to go to an institution
where he might get help.
Ten or fifteen years ago. no young
physician in this part of the country
seemed to have brighter prospects than
DR.. McMahon. He had a fine educa-
ton. a keen intellect, and he was well
started on the way to a successful
practice. He married a woman of high
attachments and more than ordinary
literary ability. AS liquor kept getting
a stronger grip upon him, his medical
practice steadily dwindled until there
was little left of it, A couple of years
ago his wife died.

That is a question which is puzzling
