SALOONS AT COLUMBIA SIDING
Commissioners Court of Douglas County
Refuses To Grant License

AT the session of the Douglas county
commissioners last week the question
of granting licenses to eight saloons
along the railway now being built from
Columbia siding to Waterville was
brought up. The saloon men were out
in force and those who had the welfare
of the county at heart were also there
with remonstrance signed by several
hundred persons.
Among those who wanted licenses
was Mr.. Piggot, who said he lived
at Kahlotus. He seemed to have the
money, and did most of the talking.
He offered to pay-the salary of deputy
sheriff to be stationed at Columbia sid
ing up to $100 month. He claimed
to have small store there now.
In the morning he approached
minister of local church and pulling
out roll of greenbacks, peeled off a
SIS bill, offered it to him for the
church." 1t is also stated that one
of the applicants for saloon license
intimated to one of the commissioners
that $500 was his if license was
secured.
Another applicant was ]. M. Roth,
a grey headed soldier of the civil war.
He had already sent his family away
from Columbia siding as it was too
tough a place for them. Lovo, another
applicant, said that if the licenses were
not granted as much liquor would be
sold anyway and the granting of licen-
ses would do away with bootlegging.
Those who spoke against the granting
of licenses were Frank Emmons, M. B.
Malloy, Judge Renean, F. z. Alexander
J. A. Grover, Rev. Money, c. c. Rick
man. Owing to the crowd present
the commissioners took the question
under advisement. Upon reconven-
ing Thursday morning the matter was
called up and the question was dis
posed of by refusing to grant the
licenses. The license fee in Douglas
county is $1,000. The county COM
missioners are, Messrs. Stallard, Nc
Kay and Foster, two democrats and one
republican.
