An Enjoyable Outing

Misses Mile and Clara Thorson
arrived home Friday evening
from seven weeks trip spent
in the west. The girls went
west over the Milwaukee road .
Their first stop was at Pearson,
Wash, and it was here that most
of their time was spent. Their
headquarters were at the home
of their sister, Mrs. L. Wager,
and from there they made ex.
cursions to the various points of
interest. At Everett they visit
ed their old friends Mr.. and Mrs.
L. B. Sateren, where they had
a most enjoyable time. They
went through the navy yard at
Bremmerton and were all over
the battleship Oregon. The trip
home was made by boat from
Seattle to Van Couver and via
the Canadian Picific railway,
visiting a brother at Outlook
Canada, and another at Mime

Illegal Sale of Liquor Not to
be Tolerated.

Violators Of the liquor law are
running up against mighty
hard propositionin Judge Bouck' s
court.
1t has been almost a custom in
this county to fine a blindpigger
$50 and costs. The fine doesn't
appear to have the desired effect
and the court has concluded to
wipe out that sort of business by
drastic measures.
John MiotlSe, being brought
before court. testified that lie
wasn't actually engaged in the
business of selling liuuor. He
had liquor in the hause and his
friends came and called on him
and helped themselves and
they had a habit of leaving a
little money on the table or threw
it on the bed or chair.
Being asked by the court why
he took out a government license
if he had no intention to engage
in the liquor business, John was
up a stump. The Judge remark
ed that that kind of business
must be stopped and as an ex
ample and warning he would
fine John Miotke $15Oand 80 DAYS
in Jail.
August Gruba having two
similar charges against him ano
having indulged in the same bust
ness before was fined 5000 anc
also given 30 days in Jail.

Convicted Under
a New Ordinance
Bootlegger Draws $50 Fine, the
Minimum Under Ordinance 65.

The first arrest under Ordi-
nance No. IS was made last Sat-
urday by Deputy Sheriff McGee
on complaint of Fred Mcdonald.
The person arrested gave his
name as w. d. Lathrop. He was
charged with furnishing liquor
to an Indian. The case was tried
Monday before Judge Andrews,
Frank McKenna acting as attor.
ney for the city and A. o. Bunde
for the defendant.
Amos Crooks, an Indian, tcsti-
tied that he bought bottle of
alcohol of Lathrop on the day of
the arrest, at the Cline stable,
for which he paid $1.25. Fred
Mcdonald swore to taking this
liquor from Crooks, which testi-
mony was corroborated by Amos
King. Jake johnson testified to
seeing Lathrop sell liquor on
several previous occasions. The
defendant made general denial
OF the charge against him. Be-
ing satisfied of his guilt, the
court imposed fine of $50, the
lightest punishment that can be
given by the ordinance under
which this case was tried and
which will be used in similar
cases in the future.

From Gulf to Winnipeg
First Trip by Automobile Over
the Meridian Road.

Having encountered wet and
heavy roads in the southern part
of the state the party from San
Antonio, Texas, was unable to
reach this city on schedule time,
Tuesday afternoon, as was ex-
pected, but got here instead the
next day at noon. They were
met at Watertown by Andrew
Marvick and family, Howard
Babcock, DR.. Robertson, w. j..
Thomas and Will Swedlund.
H. S. Morris, j. A. Rickert, Prof.
Guthrie and John Minder went
as far as the Grant county line
but returned when the visitors
failed to show upwhen expected.
The party from the south con-
sisted of Col. A. NJ. Westgard
and wife. Jas. Westgard and T.
f. Bates, of New York; Mai. D.
b. Clop and wife and A. Killer,
of San Antonio, Texas; J. 3.
Stroberg and 9. Meyers, of Aus
tin, Texas; G.. p. Gordon, OF
Martin, Texas, and Chas. w.
McCaffree, of Pierre.
Immediately upon their arriv-
al in this city they were taken to
the Commercial hotel for dinner.
Shortly thereafter, after their
photographer had secured a pic
ture of long procession of local
automobiles and people, to be
used in making moving picture
films of the Meridian Highway,
the party left on their journey,
being anxious to reach Fargo
that same evening. From here
they were looked after by an
automobile party from White
Rock, and from that place they
were taken in charge by party
from Wahpeton; and on they will
go to Winnipeg.
These travellers were greatly
interested in the hill country of
Roberts county, and expressed
themselves to their escorts from
Watertown as having seen moth.
ing so picturesque since leaving
texas. No mistake was made
when the route was changed SO
as to go through the hills. This
city will receive considerable ad
vertising out of this road when it
becomes popular highway OF
| travel.

Opera House Now Safe.

SO much has been said during
the past year regarding the con-

Three Are Bound Over
Bail of Claire City Men Fixed at
$500 Each.

YOVV AAss$Ae
That Claire City people have
not suffered on account of thirst
during the hot spell of the past
few weeks was clearly demon
strated in the municipal court
of this city last Friday morning
when the blind pig cases were
being aired. The boldness of
the accused men, Steven. Motifs,
August Otto and Irving Ernst,
in the way in which they have
been Illegally selling Intoxicating
liquor is astounding. providing
the evidence brought out in court
is correct.
E. H. Glow testified that he
was employed by Shelf Minder
to secure evidence against illegal
sellers of liquor at Claire City;
that he got acquainted with
Steve Motifs at the Motifs livery
stable, and bought beer of him
and saw him sell plenty more to
others. Part of the beer was
drunk: on the premises and part
was carried away, two bottles
of which we're offered in evil
dence. The testimony showed
that this beer was sold from a
shed adjoining the stable and
was passed out through hole
in the wall for thatpu rpose.
August Otto was met at pool
hall where he was employed.
Several games were played by
the witness, with his eye a good
partof the timeon astream of men
who We're constantly going out
and coming in at the back door.
Not being supected as spotter,
Glow too passed out of the back
door and into a small shed near
by, as he saw others doing.
Once inside he saw Otto unlock
and open trap door in the floor
and take therefrom numerous
bottles of beer which had been
reposing in ice water. This
was freely sold to the crowd and
to witness. Two bottles of this
particular vintage were also put
upon evidence.
Bolderthan either of the others
was Irving Ernst. He sold
openly over the counter of his
pool hall to whomsoever was
thirsty and had the price. The
stuff was kept right handy in an
ice box which was replenished
from a barrel in another corner
of the room. In this case the
beer was put up in small or 15c
bottles, while the others had all
been the large variety. Two of
these small bottles were also Of
fered in evidence.
Glow gave evidence in each
case separately and upon con-
clusion of his testimony j. w.
Darlington, attorney for the de-
PENDANTS, made a motion for a
dismissal on the ground that
no case had been shown. Judge
Andrews denied the motion and
named the next regular term of
his court as, the time for trial.
This will be in September, when
jury will be regularly drawn.
Bail in each instance was fixed
at $500, which was readily fur
nished. the signers being Chas.
Tisch and Mr.. Rusch.
Thos. Mani is handling the
case for the state. Several other
witnesses needed by him in corr
roboration of the testimony of
Glow had flown when Deputy
Jackson went to Claire City to
get them the day before the hear
ing. AS they are all well known
residents up there, they will
doubtless be secured when want
ed in September. Glow has al
ready been subponed and will
be here.
Complaints of pigging had been
coming to Sheriff Minder for
some time and it was by him

Bryan Espouses Suffrage Cause.
Secretary Bryan in a formal
statement a few days ago, came
out for woman suffrage. He de-
clared that he would ask no DO
litical right for himself that he
Was not willing to grant his wife,
and announced his intertion of
supporting the proposed state
constitutional amendment ex-
tending the franchise to women
to be voted upon in Nebraska
next November.
Woman. Mr.. Bryan said, has
proved herself equal to every re-
sponsibility imposed upon her
and would not fail society in this
emergency. Above all other
arguments in favor of giving her
the ballot he placed the right of
mother to have a voice in the
molding of the environment of
her children. The mother, the
secretary said, can justly claim
the right to employ every weapon
which can be made effective for
the protection of those whose
interest she guards, and the
ballot will put within her reach
all the instrumentaleties of
government, including the police
power"
The statement follows in part:
That first objection which l re.
member to have heard was that
as woman can not bear arms
she should not have a voice in
deciding questions that might
lead to war or in enacting laws
that might require an army for
their enforcement. This argu.
ment is seldom offered now, for
the reason that as civilization
advances laws are obeyed be-
cause they are an expression of
the public opinion, not merely
because they have the powder
and lead behind them. And as
we look back over the past may
we we'll wonder whether the
peace movement would not have
grown more rapidly than it has
had woman who suffers more
than man from the results OF
war been consulted before hos.
tilities began.
"2 1t is urged by some that
woman's life is already full of
care and that the condition of
suffrage would either over bur-
den her or turn her attention
away from her duties of home.
The answer made to this is
that the exercise of the franchise
might result in change of
thought and occupation that
would release the monotony of
woman's work and give restful
variety to her activities. and
surely the home will not suffer
if the mother, the child's first
/ teacher, is able to intellgently
discuss with her family the sci
ence of government and the art
Of successfully administering it.
3. Many we'll meaning men
and women affirm that suffrage
would work harm to woman by
leSSenlng the respect in which
she is held. This argument
would have more weight had it
not been employed against every
proposition advanced in favor of
the enlargement of woman's
sphere. This objection was once
raised to the higher education of
woman, but is no longer heard.
The same objection was offered
each time the door has opened
and woman, instead of suffering
| degradation, has risen.
These objections, however
honestly advanced, have proven
impotent to retard woman's pro-
gress. May not the fears sin.
