A few years ago young man by

Runaway Team Dashes Thru Crowd OF
People, Injuring One.
A runaway team caused consterna-
ton in the court house park at IL: 80
this forenoon, and the wonder Is that
the consequences were not more SER
ious, as the grounds We're crowded with
people, many of whom were eating a
midday lunch in groups.
The team was a pair of ponies be-
longing to Ben Forrey. living near the
Rock Valley mill, southeast of the city.
Mr. Forrey had hitched the ponies to
the steps at the south side of the court
house. From some cause the team be-
came frightened, broke loose and
started at a swift pace across the park,
whirling north toward Main street and
dashing thru the crowds Of people as
if they We're not in the way at all
There was a hurried scramble to get
out of the uncertain path of the team,
and fortunately all escaped except Mrs
w. r. Lancaster, who lives near Stan
ford. in Bangor township. She was
sitting upon the ground, saw the rum
away horses approaching, and realiz-
ing that she would not have time to
arise and get out OF there way, started
to crawl westward on her hands and
knees. In this way she managed to
nearly escape being run over, but one
of the wheels of the surry passed over
her ankles, cutting a cash in the right
ankle. A doctor was summoned and
dressed the injury.
Bystanders managed to stop the
team under one of the large trees just
west of the police court before they
had done further damage than the
breaking of the doubletrees Of the We

THIS is WHAT PUBLIC WILL PAY
FOR SEEING SALOON
STOCKS.
SALOONS WHISKY AND
BEER BEING RETURNED
Most Of the Total Cost is Represented
by the Expense for Moving and stor-
ing the Stocks Which Must be Re-
turned at the countys Expense
Two More Saloons Open.

1t will cost Marshall county about
$500 for Selling on search warrants the
stocks Of the sixteen saloons. against
which warrants were issued two weeks
ago for the state, thru County Attor-
ney j. H. Egermayer The actual costs
for the cases to date is s240.30, and
there will be additional costs added by
the time all of the stocks are returned
to the saloons from which they were
taken. This expense must be borne by
the county.
Because of Diminishing the cases the
county must bear all of the costs. For
the service of the notice of the search
warrant, and for moving the liquors
from the saloons and placing them in
storage the total expense was s171.
The court costs of the Friedrich and
Schultz & Wtezstein cases, which
came to trial were s41.3o. This is ex-
elusive OF the earlier costs which ac-
cumulated In these cases. The court
costs in the fourteen other cases will
be s2s, or 81 each.
1t is estimated that it will cost APP
proximately $40 for drayage and help
to return the stock to the saloons. In
addition there will be the expense for
ice used to store the beer in the East
Boone street building, and the rent for
this building 1t is thought that all of
these items will bring the total up to
close to $500.

The injunctions, County Attorney Egg
ermayer explains, were against the
buildings preventing the owner. from
renting them to saloonists for Illegal
sales of liquor, but ii does not prevent
them from opening for the purpose of
making legal sales. That is the diff
ference.
As a precautionary measure some OF
the saloons had meen posted at the
doors all day today. These men were

Local Comment
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The county attorney is learning RAP
idly how seemingly disinterested per-
sons will fight for the protection of an
other mans property provided that
property be known as booze Merchants
can fail in business, rioters can destroy
buildings, machinery or rolling stock,
and farmers can lose crops or build
ings without exciting more than pass
ing sympathy and in case of riots it
would even be difficult to secure juries
of ones peers to give the protection
which the law intends. Such is human
nature. But let an officer or anybody
else attempt to prosecute, close up Or
seize liquor and not only will he find
other officers opposing him but he has
poor show before the average, normal
prejudices of many very good men.
Who was to blame in the seizure
cases is of little moment now They
have been dismissed and the injunction
cases are the real consideration. The
sheriff admits his mistakes in making
returns in legal form and pleads that
it was all due TO accident in the rush
of so much seizure business. The
county attorney claims that when re-
turn reads II, y. A. Nicholson, sheriff
of Marshall county, etc." and is signed
by Andy Morse, constable, the error
strains the boundaries Of mere accident,
but the states attorney from Des
Moines seems to be impressed with the
sheriff's sincerity, so the matter stands.
1t was probably mistake of policy
rather than of law to have made the
seizures owing to the known difficulties
with the average jury sitting on liquor
cases. The states attorney from Des
/ MONIES seemed 10 tiaiii,, that the point
in law taken by the county attorney
| was sound, he advising dismissal solely
on grounds of technical errors admitted
by the sheriff. Other lawyers merely
looking on seem to concur in this view.
Not a great deal could have been gained
for permanent result if the seizures
had been sustained
With the makeup of the list Of names
seized from a constable by the county
attorney there is little room for ex-
| tenuation. If this list had been copied
from directory as claimed the names
on it would have been arranged alpha
betically Instead they appeared in

laneous order just as some one might
have named them from personal ac-
quaintance. Not only this but they
were spelled incorrectly from sound
rather than from the directory. Further
more no peace officer seeking to do his
whole duty, would have selected the
names Of three owners of saloon build
ings from which to pick jury to set
on liquor case. Nor would he have
included ia short list Of thirty eight
