themselves upon the pavement and

drank the beverage from his hat.
1t was found necessary to shut
off the flow into the streets in order
to stop the wild scramble. but this
did not have the desired effect, for
men and boys lifted up manholes

beer which had backed up and had

on the saloon question. The letter

In this letter, addressed to X
NJ. White, corresponding secretary

aud editor of the Mexico Ledger,
Juge Fort says:
1t is true the saloon furnishes
revenue for the city, county and

furnishes criminals and criminal

The revenue it pays into the
treasury is more than offset by the
expenses III prosecuting the Grimm,

While we had saloons in our
territory we had deficits in city and
county treasures. Since we have
driven them out we have surplus
in those treasures. 1t costs three
times as much to prosecute under
saloon reign as local option"
Judge Fort concludes his letter
