ANTI-SALOON ORATORS HERE.
P. ]. Youngdahl and Frank Eddy Stir Up
the Voters on License Issue.

P. J. Y0ungdahl and Frank Eddy Stir Up
the Voters on License Issue.
Two very able speakers were
heard here during the past week on
behalf of the anti-saloon promoters
in this city. Thursday night P. j..
Youngdahl made his first appearance
here, and although the weather was
not propitious for a large attend
ance, fair-sized audience heard a
very strong and logical demonstra-
ton of the fact that the licensed sa-
loon, instead of being a source of
revenue to municipality is really a
very expensive luxury for all con-
cerned with the possible exception
of the man behind the bar tenders.
The second evening the speaker was
greeted by a good-sized audience
and gave a convincing demonstra-
ton that the saloon was anything
but helpful to any community in the
development of the character of its
citizens. He maintained that a city
might be destroyed by fire or cy-
clone and yet speedily rebuild its
structures and resume business if
it's citizens were of the right charac-
term short that nothing about a
town or city was Of so much i'm
portance as the character Of its citi-
zens, and if it could be successfully
maintained that the saloon was an
aid in building up character it was
then legitimate business that no
one had right to interfere with or
require license for. On the other
hand, if it's influence was destructive
to character, it was folly to tolerate
it at all. Mr.. Youngdahl offered
pretty strong evidence in the mega
tive of this latter proposition.
Frank M. Eddy had rousing big
audience Sunday evening at the
Christian church and certainly
sounded his trumpet in no uncertain
tones. For nearly two hours he en-
tertained the people with a recital
of some of the counts in his indict-
ment of King Alcohol, whom he con-
victed of being a criminal and an
outlaw without a single redeeming
trait. Al the outset he insisted that
he had no walls of wrath to pour out
on the liquor dealer. On the con-
trary he advanced the opinion that
the guilt of the buyer was as great
as that of the man who sells the
poison, the only distinction between
the two being that the man in front
of the bar is the biggest fool.
Mr., ,Eddy's culminative summing
up of all the counts of his Indictment
of the liquor traffic was a scorcher,
and his description of the great dem
onstration on the eve of license in
the great southern manufacturing
city of Birmingham, Ala, was a
picture that many of the audience
will not soon forget.
Monday Mr.. Eddy was again heard
at the farmers meeting at the court
house in the afternoon and before
another large gathering of citizens
in the evening. and succeeded in
putting in some telling blows against
license at each. appearance.

Inc NOrLn 1aKlma Republic gives

Fred George, a waiter, who was ar

and his confederate made the hold
upto secure money to pay their fare

Charles Cook and l held up Alex

had been at the depot and saw a
couple of men there. One of them
had a gun and showed it to US. He
said he was going out to get piece
of money. | said to him Let me
have it and I'll get some money
first, and the man gave it to me. ]
do not know who he was, but Il would
recognize him if | saw him again.
Cook and | then went north on
First street for several blocks and
then turned west until we got across
the irrigating ditch. Cook remarked
that that looked like a good place
and thought so too. We had made
a definite agreement that there was
to be no shooting under any circum-
stances. Cook had a couple Of rocks
in his hands and we stood behind a
telephone pole. We did not put the
light out there. 1t was out when we
went there.
I'VE saw Alexander coming along.
We did not know him. We stepped
out in front of him and [ presented
the gun and told him to hold up his
hands. Heput them up little way.
In the meantime Cook had dropped
the stones and told Alexander to
hold his hands up higher. Alexand-
err then caught hold of the barrel of
the gun and gave it jerk. The
gun was not cooked but | had my
finger on the trigger and when he
jerked it the gun went off. We
both then turned and ran. We did
did not intend to shoot. He shot
himself"
During the latter part of his mar
rative Of the holdup George could
hardly talk. and he broke down
when he spoke of the shooting. ~,
George said they then went back
to Front street and returned the
gun to the man from whom they
had borrowed it.
Last week penitentary sentence
OF Is years was imposed for the crime.

A HOT CONTEST
ON YESTERDAY
License Wins by Majorities of
Four in First Ward and
Six In Second.
LARGE Vote Cast and Both
Sides Fought With De-
termination.

The result of the city election was
that both wards went wet by a small
7ajority.
AS both sides admitted that the
result would be exceedingly close,
it is perhaps we'll that both wards
went the same way making the ma
jority in the; council decisive and
harmonious.
The Gazette has had no word of
disparagement in regard to any OF
the candidates and has nothing to
take back in that connection. We
have a good business administration
and the city will be none the worse
administered for having a watchfui
minority to look after the close =
forcemennt of the law.
Below we give the vote in the re-
spectiye wards:
