Saloon Keepers, Fearing Raid
on Their Places, Transfer
Their Goods and Leave
the Town Today
HOUGHLAND MAKES
A STATEMENT
Prominent Citizen Says Ma
licious Tales are Being
Circulated About Him
Town is in Turmoil

The anti-saloon league has TAX
en- hand in the Eldon war be-
twsen the supporters of the evan
Eeltstic campaign and the saloons
and threatens to close up all the
liquor houses.
Several of the saloon keepers
have left town, transferring all
their goods to safe place and
leaving only sufficient stock on
hands to hold customers. Subord-
mates are conducting their bust
ness.
y. -. Houghland claims das-
tardly attempt was made to wreck
his ONCE BY the saloon sympa-
thizers last night believing MIN
to be responsible for the campaign .
now on.
The carnival company, which
the revivaiists attempted to keep
from the city is holding daily per-
forInances in close proximity to
the, tent where Rev. Barrett is
holding his revival meetings.
Threats have been circulated on
the street that an attempt will be
made to burn down the evangel-
lists tent.
The war at Eldon between the liquor
interests and the revivalists seems to
be coming to q head and great excite
ment Id rife on the streets as to what
will be done II conditions do not
change There are rumors that, the
tent under which the evangelists are
helding their meetings will be burned
and last night Mayor Bradley sent a
policemen to the meeting to give the
reviyalists police protection. The car
nival Is still in the city and seems to
be doing good business despite the
attacks made upon 1t by those opposed
to It. .
1t is reported that the saloons will
be closed today and that II anything
Is done in regard to injuring the tent
or the meetings there will be serious
trouble. Vague hints are made, even
that blood may flow. So far there has
been no open attack upon each Other
by either faction, but the feeling Is SC
intense that there is no telling wha
1t may lead to. The war is on to thu
knife and both sides are determined
to come out ahead In the strife. Som,
sensational developments are expected
soon.
Attack Office Of J. A. Housland.
| That the feeling Is becoming IN
tense Is shown by the following com
munic alton sent to the Courier by j
Z. Hougland.
Some rniscreant, believing the re
port that j. b. Hougland was the inst
gator OF the tent meetings and the SO
loon closing now on, last night CON
mitted dastardly act by breaking
clay flue in the hallway to his Office
AS Hougland is not guilty Of the charg
he is not having anything to do excer
write up the sermons, so far as he ]
concerned. His record is known and h
does nothing but what he let's tn
world know He is not the instigatol
but If he was he would not de.iy !
Threats were made of burning the ter
last night, but If any attempt is mad
there will be a funeral in Eldon soo1
The fight is on and the saloons will b
closed today
