a protest brought by the president OF the
Antl-SalOon league OF Douglas county
against granting a license to A. " Frye
to operate the bar at the South Omaha
Live Stock exchange. Elmer Thomas rep
resented the league and attacked the right
OF the applicant on his petition, on the
ground that the applicant was, as alleged,
merely an agent Of the Union Stock Yarus
company; that he had been running the
bar without q license; that the bar was
in the same building which was occupied
in part by a United States postoffice and
that a petition had been presented by 100
members OF the South C-naha Live Stock
exchange asking the manager OF the Union
Stock Yards compsny to discontinue the
bar.
Mr.. Thomas sought to prove his position
by placing Everett Buckingham, A. ii.
Frye and Ralph Carley on the stand to
show that Frye was the agent OF the
Union Stock Yards company. The attor-
ney did not succeed in getting satisfactory
evidence from any Of these men. Mr..
Buckingham testified that he had leased
the bar to Frye and he was to sell all
the liquors at the invoice price. The
others supported this statement.
The defendants produced a petition Of
forty signers, but Mr., Thomas objected to
many on the ground that they had not
been personally acquainted with A. II.
Frye. The board overruled these objec-
tons. Thomas further objected to GER
tain petitioners because the names had
been added 10 the petition by psstins
them on the original list. The reason for
this. as cOntended by the defendants, was
that the blank form provided for only
thirty and the applicant wished to have
\ forty signers. over thirty of the siRnets
appeared before the board and swore that
their signatures were genuine and had
been regularly affixed TO the petition.
Few of them knew Mr.. Frye personally
and upon this Mr.. Thomas based his
strongest protest.
After the evidence was all in the board
went into executive session. and on return
ing to regular session, overruled the protest
and voteu to grant a license to a. II. Frye
for the ensuing year. Mr.. Thomas gave
immediate notice Of application for a
mandamus to compel the board to receive
evidence which had been barred by the
boards ruling and also gave notice of
appeal to the district court on the boards
order granting a license.
No other protests, of which one or two
remain. were heard, as the hour was late.
Saturday at l .. m. was set for further
hes rims of protests.
The board grL nted licenses to the follow
ing who had completed the legal steps

Record Price for Lambs.
The price paid for lambs reached the
highest known record yesterday in the
South Omaha market. Ten dollars per
hundred straight was paid for a load of
thirty-seven choice spring lambs. The
thiYty-seven lambs brought the shipper
over $500 in cash. Such prices are consid-
cred remarkable and are caused by light
receipts and urgent demand for good quail
ity OF lambs. All grades OF lambs and
sheep sold high and rapidly yesterday.
In other classes of live stock no great
changes we're noted and no excitement pre-
vailed. Al the end Of the fourth month
Of 1893 the receipts in hogs show a de
crease of only 1900, a very nominal fig
ure.
