DRY TERRITORY SALOONS
ALLOWED AN EXTRA MONTH
Closing Order not to be Enforced Until
October l5-Irouble Started in
Detroit. :..

Moorhead, August 18-(SpeciaD
Liquor dealers in Moorhead and
the rest of the coded Indian lands
have been given until October IS in
which to dispose of their stock of
liquor. The time has been extended
for one month, on which date all of
the provisions of the order must have
been complied with by the, liquor
dealers. -. -. ,
1t now seems highly probably that
the order will be no further modified
than this postponement of the en-
forcement of the order, as the dis
patch refers to the postponement as
the result of numerous protests
against the order and requests for its
modification.
Up to this time the liquor dealers
in this city have been awaiting the
action of Secretary Ballinger of the
Interior department in the matter,
thinking perhaps that he would re-
woke the order or modify it.
The dispatch referred to states
that a large number of protests
against the order have been received
from the people all over the territory
affected, and that the most of these
protests have been received from
Moorhead.
This word from the head of the In.
terror department is what Moorhead
liquor dealers have been waiting for,
as the final decision in the matter
rested with the department. This
postponement of the order gives
local saloonkeepers few less than
sixty days to get rid of their stocks,
or at least in which to get them out
of the country. No liquor will be
allowed in the prescribed territory
adjacent to the Leech Lake and
White Earth Indian reservations
after October IS. All that is in this
territory after that date will be con-
fiscated by the federal officials.
People in the vicinity of the White
Earth reservation tell how the whole
affair, involving the prohibition OF
liquor in this territory, started. 1t
is said that there was a half breed
in the vicinity of the reservation
near Detroit, who started a saloon
that was damaging the business OF
the local saloon keepers in Detroit.
They had the half breed arrested on
the charge that half breed could
not conduct saloon. ~
An old Indian chief on the
White Earth reservation then took
the matter up and made trip to
Washington, where he became &C.
quainted with the man who is now
known as Pussyfoot" Johnson, and
is special agent of Indian affairs.
In looking up the matter it was
found that according to the treaty
it was unlawful for any liquor to be
sold on or near the reservations. The
enforcement of the provisions of the
old treaty were at once begun and
the territory was found to embrace
Moorhead and vicinity. .~-..

WIDE attention GIVEN
TO WARREN-KALB CASE.
Principals Well Known in Bagley
!. Crcles-Both Put on Witness
=
.,=... -. Stand.

Bagley, August, 18-(Special to
Pioneer)-Most of the time Wednes-
day forenoon in the Warren-K olb
case was spent in examining NJ. J.
Kolb on cross examination and from
the evidence given it appears that a
number of instructions have taken
place between him and the plaintiff,
Mr.. Warren, which all 20 to make
up long chain of evidence reach
ing back as far as 1906.
MIR. Warren took the witness
stand about noon and occupied it
all OF the afternoon. His statements
and the defendant s, Mr.. Kolb's
coincide in a great many instances
but it looks as though the jury
would earn its money by the time
the case is tried, there being some
conflicting evidence. AS rule
both parties think they are telling
the truth in their statements made
on the witness stand.
| A short time was occupied in the
examination of Oscar Barness, one
of defendants witnesses, under the
statute. Mr.. Warren will again take
the stand this morning. Nearly
every lady in Bagley has been pres
ent in the interest of hearing this
case tried and from the appearance
it looks much like a woman's audi
1ence. Never before has so much
interest been manifested in any case
tried at this place.
i The Warren Kolb case is attract.
i ing much attention in the vicinity
OF Whine Earth and Bagley. War
rem is part Indian, enough to get
an allotment. About two years ago,
he sold the timber on it to Kolb
! and received little over $4,000
for it. He alleges that Kolb induced
him to place this money in Kolb's
/ bank so that Kolb could control it.
| Warren was induced to invest
his money in telephone plant
and later sunk quite a bit more
which belonged to his wife and
others. Kolb also loaned him
$4,000 and took a mortgage on
the plant Warren could not pay
the mortgage and suddenly found
himself without any property. He
alleges that Kolb induced him to
make the purchase so that he
could get the money, and that
| Kolb induced the Warrens into
lBagley society with a view to in
creasing their hold on them.
4 Warren says that a little more
than a year ago, he was worth over
/ $4,000 while today he has practi-
cally nothing and Kolb has the
greater part of his fortune. Spooner
and Brown, of Bemidji, are in Bag
ley and with Thomas Keefe are
taking up the case with Kolb.
i AS much of the testimony is ex-
pected to deal with society relations,
many ladies are attending the trial.
There has been some talk of settling
the case out of court, but if testi-
mony is taken, those who are fami-
liar with the case say some interest
ing bits will be disclosed.

COL. LOCKE ON TEMpERAacl
Regards Restrictive Laws a. Only In
tended for Temporary Check
Sums Up Situation.

Illustrative of the thought which In
dIvidual citizens are giving to the
temperance movement is the following
expression Of opinion from Col Frank
L. Lock. president Of the Boston
Young Mems Christian union. When
asked to sum up the causes OF the
present day situation. Mr.. Locke said +:
THE recent very noticeable interest
in the effort for temperance legisla-
ton indicates, think, that people are
beginning to realize the extent to
which intemperance reaches into and
affects the everyday life of the com
munity. -
"To those having at heart the inter.
est OF the city, the state and the ma
ton this awakening to the evil Of the
situation and the interest manifested
even by those who are not total alb
stainers must be gratifying. While the
present prohibitory legislation may
not offer final solution of the prob
lem, 1t clearly indicates that the peo-
pie are generally aroused as to the
seriousness of the situation and are
led to take any action which will tend
to improve conditions, even II 1t be
only to temporarily check the evil
until further investigation and the ap-
plication of modern scientific methods
of study any analysis may offer a
more satisfactory solution.
The increased adoption OF laws
prohibiting the sale Of liquor does
not, ! think, signify growing convic
ton that such is the only wise or
proper solution of the liquor problem,
but that 1t is temporary check, and
helpful, until a better means is at
hand The study Of modern condi-
tions in our penal institutions and Of
the general social condition, leads
more and more to realization that
the remedy for these public ills lies
not in attempting to administer pun
ishment,D or to make cures for the
damage which has been done, but
rather in adopting measures that will
prevent the occurrence Of the diff
culties. More and more it is coming
to be felt that inebriety as well as, In
deed, most OF the criminal oHences,
are due to some defective mental con
ditiou rather than to deliberate dispo-
sition to be bad or mean.

well as the criminal generally, is be-
coming more and more to be looked
upon as necessarily more OF hos
pital treatment. The success gAtch

I'm connection with the forward
movement for temperance, wish that

bllity and good-fellowship which is

quite as much the attraction to the sa-
loon as the liquor"

ALCOHOL AID TO PNEUMONIA
Well Known Clinical Fact That Uers
of Liquor Fare Badly When At
tackled by Disease.

It is well-known clinical fact that
those addicted to the use Of alcohol
fare very badly when attacked by
pneumonia. Indeed, the mortality
among drinkers is very high IN every
disease: but is especially marked in
pneumonia. DR.. julius Pohlman was
struck by this fact. and in order to
test 1t performed number OF expert
rents he has recorded in the Medical
News.
Pneumonia is considered by the best
authorities as an infectious disease,
and, from its organisms, there is sup
posed to spread through the system a

His work seems to have been done
rather unscientifically, but his conclu

ever, his work will give the anti-vlvi

His theory is that, If to a congestion
of the lungs brought on by alcohol a
pneumonia be added, the individual
stands little chance of recovering.
