BUSINESS MEN TO
AID THE SALOONS
L. Gewalt Heads Organization
at Breckenridge Where Live
ly Fight is On

Breckenridge business men who are
still of the opinion that farmers would
refuse to do their trading in dry
town in face of the fact that an over
whelming majority cf the farmers
near Breckenridge have signed petit"
tion for a county option election and
have signified their intention to vote
dry. have organized for the purpose
of fighting the temperance forces.
Funds have been raised and speakers
will be brought on from outside. Ex-
senator Barnett will be on hand from
Missouri among other notables VINO
will appear. Breckenridge is the
largest town in W ilkin county and in
case the dry forces carry the county
one of the chief in iustrIes of the town
will fade away. The saloons there
are among the finest in the state and
many of them carry stocks and
fixture the value of which mount
into fabulous sums. Spe aking of the
impending saloon mixup the Tele.
gram. has this to say last week:
cat meeting of many of the
business men of the city held at
Hotel Stratford Friday evening an or
ganization as formed for counteracting
the dry movement under the county
option law. Louis Gewalt was elected
president, E. Mattson vice president,
E. H. Nortz. treasurer and L. H.
Standring secretary of the new organ
aztion which will be known as the
Wilkin County Taxpayers Assn.
A petition is being circulated
about the city and county protesting
against the dry movement and urg'
ing that the saloons be retained. A
number of the business men have
refused to sign the petition however.
In the me antime the county op-
tion petition is ready for filling with
over 900 signatures, more than twice
the required number, and majority
of the votes cast at the last cleo
tion. The petition will likely be
filed Friday which will automatically
make the election date June %. -
Morris tribune., 1915-05-21

Swift county adopted the dry policy
at the special election Tuesday Of
last week when it became the sixth
in the state to 60 dry. The result
of the election puts two saloons out of
business with 3 TO 1 vote. Stevens
county will hold its election June

READY TO ARREST
MURDER SUSPECTS
Suspicious Circumstances Said to
Ernbarrass Pope County Peo-
pie in Murder Case

Startling developments in the muir
der mystery in the town of Nora ff-
teen miles northeast of this city in
which the three Mitmoen brothers
were brutally killed a few days ago.
are said to be in possession of detec-
tives aiding the Pope county officials
and it was announced arrests of par
ties we'll known in the vicinity of
the crime NAV be made soon. Suspi-
cious circumstances lead the officers
to believe the murder mystery will be
cleared very shortly.
The three Mitmoens were bachelors
who lived together on farm. The
youngest was sixty and the oldest
eighty years of age, and they had
been residents of the county for about
thirty five years. All this time they
had lived in seclusion and were never
known to deposit any funds in q
bank or lend money to anyone. They
had a fine farm and we're prosperous.
One of the men was believed to
have been insane but so carefully die
his brothers guard him that the exact
situation was never Known. Robbery
IS believed to have been the motive fol
the murder. Two of the men were
found in the house with their heads
beaten to a pulp. They had beer
bound and gagged after a struggle
with their assailants. The third twas
found in the barn with his head crush
ed, and where the horses had further
mutilated the body by tramping upor
it. The house had been ransacked
