Ruling Amended
Silver Greek Will
Have One Saloon

CENTRAL CITY. Neb., Jan. 26. CSpe-
cial) -silver Greek is allowed to retain
one saloon, at least for the balance Of
the municipal year. The edict Of the
supreme court has just ben issued sus-
talning the action Of the district court
here. which upheld the legality OF the
license Of Ed Shank, obtained last spring
to conduct saloon in Silver Creek. At
that time Shank was granted his license
permits were also granted to Charles NJ.
Sokol and Nicholas A. shue. All three
applicants met with contest on the
grounds Of the insufficiency Of the num-
Der OF freholders signing their petitions,
and some OF them were complained
against on the grounds Of Illegal sales
within the last year. About two months
ago the supreme court oYerruled the To-
cal fourts, which had sustained the
village board Of silver creek in grant
ing the licenses. Laser Judge Reese, who
had delivered the opinion In the shank
case. recalled his decision upon the show
Ing that he had ruled upon issues which
were not involved In theh Shank case.
The court at its session here two weeks
ago ordered the village board OF silver
Greek to revoke the licenses Of Shue and
sokei. and these two places were closed
at that time. Now the supreme court has
upheld the Shank license. so that Silver
Creek will be in the possession OF one
saloon for the balance OF the municipal
year at least.

MARTIN LOOKING UP LAW
Attorney General Not Searching fol
More Word in Omaha.
WILL CONE HERE IF ORDERED
What May BE Done I'm Connection
with Proceedings Before
Grand Jurfes.
CFrom a Staff Correspondent,

LINCOLN, Jan. a6.-(Special. )-Governor
Aldrich has not yet made formal re-
quest upon the attorney general that he
so to Douglas county and take hand
in affairs there, but he has talked the
matter over Informally with him and in
dictated that he would soon put the order
into legal form.
In view OF this Attorney General Martin
is engaged looking up the law In the case.
He has not been able to find anything
which would entftle him to appear on his
own motion. but the law does make II
his duty, on the request OF the governor
to appear in any court Of the state In
cases. where the state is a party to an
action.
Nothing is said In the statute regarding
grand iuries and the question appears to
be whether the s-snd jury. which Is a
part of the machinery Of the court, comes
within the designation OF court in the
sense Of giving him the right to APPEAR
before II in behalf Of the state Even
II he does, 1t appears certain that any
indictments returned must be drawn by
the county attorney, as well as the
performance OF all other duties pertain
ing 10 bringing the indictment into court.
As the county attorney is the servant
OF the grand jury and<it is within the
province OF the jury to say whether an
Indictment shall be returned this feature
does not appear TO be so important.
Martin Not Anxious.
Attorney FGeneral Martin. however, Is
not. however. particularly anxious to
undertake the task. in fact will not do
IL unless the governor formally requests
it. He says that his office is already over
burdened with work and Is not able
10 keep up with the usual duties of the
office. Further he is not delighted with
the idea of mixing up In Omaha affairs.
The greatest objection, however. is that
he is receiving similar requests con-
stantiy and all over the state and he has
persstently decided to go outside his regu-
lar duties because Of lack Of time. and
dislikes exceedingly to have a precedent
Of this kind established. II he finds, aftSr
examining the law. that II is his duty to
do 50 on the request OF tna governor, CT
course he will undertake the work and
do the best he can to clear up the sitn-
alton and bring to justice any who are
ascertained TO have violated the law.
The governor Is Of the opinion that SO
