HUMBOLDT. Ia, Feb. 2L-(special)-
Every retail druggist in Humboldt county
who has sold Intoxicating liquors. was to-
day enjoined from doing so any longer by
an injunction issued by Judge A. D.. Baille,
of the district court. Three of the druggists,
knowing that the injunction woupld prob
ably be issued, surrendered their permits
before the official edict was given out.
The injunction is issued on the broad
claim that every drug store owner in the
county had been selling liquor illegally.
Recently all of the "bootleggers' were
driven out Of business In the county. and
the intention to make the county Rbso-
lutely dry" prompted the action against
the drug men.

20 have been a member OF the gang OF
bunco men who succeeded in detaching
T. w. Baiiew the banker OF Princeton.
MO. from a bank roll OF $4,000 through a
fake horse race in this city last October.
The district grand jury which adjourned
last Saturday returned an indictment
against Maybray. John r. Dobbins and
several others on a charge OF conspiracy
IN connection with tho alleged buncoing of
the Princeton banker and lumber dealer.
This Indictment in distinct from the one
against Dobbins on the charge of larceny
Of 10000 belonging TO Ballew and on which
charge he was arrested in New York and
brought back to Council Bluffs by former
Deputy Sheriff Groneweg.
Groneweg. whose services nave been re-
tanned by Bailew and the iatter's local at
torneys. left for Des Moines yesterday morn
Ing to obtain reauisition papers from Gov
ernor Carroll for Maybray. He is expected
to go direct to Little Rock from Des
Moines.
Assistant County Attorney Ross ex-
pressed the opinion yesterday afternoon
that Groneweg's trip to Little Rock would
be ~frultless as It was unlikely. he thought.
that the federal officers would turn over
the prisoner to the state authorities.
Just Escaped Arrest Here.
II IL understood tina Postoffice Inspector
swensen has been working on the case
against the gang Of alleged bunco men for
several months. While II has not yet been
disclosed here what charge the federal au-
thorities have against Msybray and his al
legged associates, It is presumed that the
prisoners are accused OF using the mails
for improper purposes In furthering their
schemes to defraud Banker Bellew and
other wealthy suckers out of their money,
II was stated by a government official
yesterday that a few months ago Swensen
had about completed arrangements to have
Maybray arrested. but that Maybray was
given a tip by the clerk of the hotel where
he stayed in Council Bluffs and succeeded
In leaving town before the federal officers
could get hold of him. II is said that May
bray had not put In an appearance In Coun-
eli Bluffs since the day he learned the gov
eminent officials were on his track.
Maybray was credited here with being the
leader OF the gang of bunco artists who are
said to have made Council Bluffs their
headquarters for several months OF last
year. He is said to be the man who rented
an office In the Merriam block and was
credited with being the owner of the big
red automobile which is alleged to have
figured so prominently in the gangs oper-
atoms. Jim" Maybray. as he was known
to a number Of local sports. is said here to
have claimed South Omaha as mis- resi-
dence.

Balkan Crisis
Is Regarded as
Acute in Russia
Diplomats in Cars Service Believe
War Between Austria and
Servia Sure to Come.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5.-The pessim-
ism with regard to the Balkan crisis is
steadily deepening In diplomatic circles,
where II is believed that Austrian action
against Servia may be expected within 9
fortnight unless a solution of the present
grave problem is soon arranged. Foreign
office officials state that Russia is not dis
posed to consider an invasion of Servia
alone as a casus belli, but there is fear
that the governments hand may be forced
under such circumstances by popular feel
ing, The beginning of hostilities would
throw thousands of Russian volunteers into
the Servian ranks.
The Duma leaders, who visited the For
eign office today, expressed themselves as
convinced that war is inevitable. Informa-
ton received from Kiev today indicates
that no military measures have yet been
undertaken on the southwestern frontier,
but all applications Of officers for leave OF
absence nave been refused and the Kiev
department is ready for instant mobiliza-
ton.
Berlin Discredits AIarmist Views.
BERLIN, Feb. a.-There is no reason to
believe that an outbreak OF war between
Austria and Servis is imminent. according
to the view held in most authoritative semi
official circles. The alarmist reports are
regarded as being much exaggerated. 1t is
admitted, however. that the situation is
not clear and will remain cloudy until
those powers which, like rance are striv-
ing to maintain peace, make their voices
heard at st. Petersburg and induce Russia
TO notify Belgrade that in the event Of
war servia cannot rely upan either sHsct
or indirect Russian support.
