MICHIGAN "WEES" IN LEAD
"prys" Carry Twenty Counties for
Sixteen Won by opponents-
State Nearly Equal.

Detroit, Mich-Complete returns from
the local option election in Michigan
show a net majority for the "wets" in
all the counties voting of 6,299.
though the "drys" carried 20 counties
to 16 for the "wets." The dry vic
tories were won in those counties
where the saloon is only a minor fac
tor, while in the more critical coun-
ties the vets swept everything. There
now are 40 dry" and 43 wet" coun-
ties in the state.
Three notable examples where local
option failed were Kent, Oakland and
Wexford counties.
Oakland and Wexford were only two
of the ten dry counties in which the
question was resubmitted which went
wet" Oakland county. the scene OF
one of the hardest battles, defeated
the local option by majority Of 1000.
while Wexford topped by $50 votes.
Kent county and Grand Rapids were
carried by the "wets" by a majority
of 1900.
The greatest surprise of the election
came in the township of Kent, con-
fidently claimed by the "drys" and
conceded by the 'wets" by large ma
jorities. This, added to the heavy
Grand Rapids wet" vote, piled up
sweeping majority.
In the northern peninsula every one
of the eight counties voting remained
in the wet" column. Thus the upper
peninsula remains solidly wet" In
St. Clair county, Port Huron swung
into line with a decisive wet" vote,
which, augmented by tho county poll.

ILLINOIS HWETS" WIN FIGHT
SALOON MAKE GAINS ALL OVER
THE STATE.
Liquor Interests Victorious In 146
Towns and cities-RegaIn
81 From "Drys."

Chicago-The local option vote in
Illinois cities and town showed a ten
dency in favor of the "wets," when 1t
Is compared with the similar contests
Of two years ago.
Almost everywhere the "wets" held
onto the cities where saloons have
tiourished, and in only a few in
stances were their votes cut down.
In addition, they won a considerable
number of cities back from the
"drys," who had driven out the
saloons in the elections of two years
ago. In large number of cities the
wet" majorities showed considerable
increase.
The 'drys" gained few cities from
the ''wets," but none of these were of
Importance.
Returns from 1853 towns showed
that SO had voted in favor of saloons
and GA against them.
Of the SO credited to the "wets" 81
had been voted dry" two years ago.
Out of GA which voted dry" only
IA represented places which had been
taken out of the wet" column.
The biggest wet" victories were
represented by the return of the
saloons to Decatur, Rockford and Mat
toon, whose capture by the "drys"
two years ago had been considered
remarkable triumph for the Prohibit
tionists. In addition to these, the
vets" recaptured. among others, Ba-
tavia, Belvidere, Clinton, Fairbury,
NaperVille and Pana.
The ''wets" also succeeded in hold
ing onto Aurora, Bloomington, Dan
Vile, Centralia, Elgin, Freeport,
Joliet, Waukegan, Moline. Springfield
and Sterling.
The anti-saloon forces ended the
day with no notable victories, although
the fact that they held their own in
the city of Galesburg, which they kept
in the dry" column, and the fact that
they won over several minor places,
gave them some cause for rejoicing.
The most notable fight of the day
was that made in Danville, where for
a time it seemed as though Governor
Deneen might have to use the militia
to end rioting. The disturbances were
put down, however. without such ex-
tremes. But when the votes were
counted it was found that Danville
had been held in the wet" column by
a majority of 1,O18. This, however,
was a decided decrease from the $500
majority of two years ago, and the
"drys" claimed that their work had
not been entirely in vain.
In Chicago aldermanic election the
Democrats won a victory electing 21
members to the common council. The
elected 13 and the Inde-
pendents one. A Republican majority
of II in the present council was
changed to a minority of six.

BOLD BANDITS SHOT

BLOW UP BANK; GET $1,000

chase-Two Escape.

Coal City, Ill.-The depredations Of
the James brothers were vividlJ
brought to mind when Eve bank rob
bers fought a desperate battle with
officers and posse after they had
looted the Coal City State bank just
before daylight Thursday.
The bandits gagged and bound the
town watchman and engineer, blew
the bank safe, boarded a freight train
and fed with $4,000 of loot, to be cor
nered by the quick wit of telegraph
operator.
Three Of their number were cap
tured by the posse that waylaid them
while the other two escaped with the
booty.
The bandits were all Chicago youths,
The bandits entered the town on q
passing freight train and began op-
erations by tying Barney Ghetto. the
night watchman, and Washington
Erie, the night engineer of the cleo
trical plant
They then blew up the bank build
ing with terrific charge Of nitro
glycerin and leaped on a west-bound
Santa Fe freight train with their
lunder. Three hours later three
Een, believed to be of their number,
had been captured by Sheriff Thomas
Steel Of Morris, ILL.,. who had been
notified by the night watchman after
the latter had broken loose the ropes
which held him and made possible
the organization of the posse.
Just as the train carrying the five
bandits pulled out of the town, Ghetto
succeeded in cutting his bonds and
rushed to a telephone and notified
Eugene Miller. the night watchman at
YaZoo, seven miles south of Coal City,
and he, with DIR. e. D. Watts, who
happened to be at the station at that
time, lay in wait for the robbers.
Watts was armed with a repeating
shotgun, and Miller carried a revolver.
At Mazon the train stopped to switch
cars. The bandits leaped from the
ear as 1t stopped and hid in the dense
clumps of shrubbery which flank the
right of way.
Before the train was again in mo-
tion Miller and the physician had dis
covered three men crouching in the
bushes and opened fire. The fire was
returned and about twenty-five shots
were exchanged. The bandits then
leaped back on the train. which had
started, and escaped once more.
Immediately the sheriff at Morris
was notified and the posse was Or
ganized. Several automobiles were
pressed into service and the pursuit
began. There is a road following the
right of way of the Santa Fe tracks
between Morris and Verona and along
this the chase took place. Tor time
the members of the posse in their ma
chimes sped directly alongside the
speeding freight train and shots were
fired at dark objects which were
thought to resemble the bandits.
When at last the train came to a
stop at Verona the cars were searched
by the sheriff and his men.
In an empty baggage car Of the
train were found three of the bandits.
All three were wounded and their
comrades had fed 1t is believed that
they leaped off the moving train from
the side opposite the pursuing posse.

increased about SO per cent. This is
