Back in the early 70's the north
west was just opening and the own
ers Of the Leodora saw great posi-
biIities for profit in the Missouri
river traffic. Accordingly they load
ed their craft with stores OF all kinds
such as the western pioneers might
need-and especially lots Of liquor.
A few miles below Elk Point the
Leodora caught fire and her crew
was forced to abandon her. She went
TO the bottom of the Missouri river
in IA feet of water. For years she
rested on the Nebraska side, then the
old "Mizzou' was seized with n OF
her periodical freakish spells and the
change Of the current left the old
hull in South Dakota territory.
IT is estimated there are upwards
of 1000 gallons Of fine old whisky
in the huh OF the Leodora, where it
has lain for half a century. aging in
wood. 1T is not believed the con
tents OF the casks has been injured
by the long stay under the sand and
water, but. on the contrary, has been
Improved and mellowed with age.
Az the prevailing price Of liquor.
this cargo is thought TO be worth not
less than $4,000. Because Of it's
extreme age and romantic history, it
doubtless would command a much
better price.
Just how Mr.. Wenner will dispose
of his store, once it is ~salvaged. Is
not certain. He may find ii neees-
sary to float it into midstream and
ship II down the Missouri 70 ST. 10
seph or Kansas City. where there Is
a ready market and cultivated ap-
%petites willing to pay a premium for
such rare old vintage.

ANCIENT WHISKY
WITH 100 BARRELS WITHIN Ills

Elk Point. Aug. 9.-Consider. for
a moment. the plight of a man in
these panicky dry" times with 100
barrels of ~50-year-old whisky almost
within his grasp and wondering how
he is going TO dispose OF il when he
gets ii. Yet, that is the plight Of Il.
r. Wenner, of Elk Point, county sur
veyor of Union county.
The liquor is stored in the hulk
of the good ship Leodora which
caught fire and sank in the whipping
waters of the Big Muddy near this
point back i'm the 70's when river
traffic flourished. When the Leo
dora went down part Of her cargo
consisted Of 900 barrels of whisky.
Half of this amount was recovered.
About five years ago Mr.. Wenner
conceived the idea of ~salvaging the
remaining 100 barrels. He set TO
work with power plant and pump, eX-
tracing the sand and water from the
hull of the i'll fated Leodora.
For five years. off and on, he has
persisted and now, just OF the eve of
his long deferred success, the bone
dry law of the commonwealth OF
1A
South Dakota threatens TO interfere
and cheat him of his reward. For
the bone dry" law. which he did not
reckon on when he began operations,
provides explicitly that liquor shall
not be imported nor exported from
the state.
Notwithstanding, Wenner will per-
severe. lie has worked too long and
too hard and expended too much
money to give up now. His efforts
have brought him within a few feet
Of his quest. One corner of an old
safe in the hold of the craft has been
unearthed and 1t is known the grand
old juice that cheers is not far away,
The good ship Leodora had an in
teresting career. The vessel was
built by the Chicago Il Alton Rail
way company upwards of three-quar-
tiers of a century ago. The vessel
was named after the wife of the pres
ident of the Chicago & Alton. II
was first used for transport work il

EIGHT-HOUR LAW
DECLARED VALID
Supreme Court by a Vote of
Six to Three, Says 1t is
Constitutional.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.@The
AdamsOn eight-hour law passed by
congress several months ago when
the railroad brotherhoods first

tional. the United States supreme
decision was in the case of the Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Gulf railorad
which was agreed upon by both
sides as the test case.
The law was attacked by the rail
roads because il specified that the
enginemen. fremen and trainmen
should be paid as much for eight
hours work beginning Jan. /. as they
did for 10 hours prior TO that time
except Of course, where the eight
hour basis of pay was already in eff
feet. The opinion of the supreme
court reversed the decision of
Judge William G. Hook Of Kansas
City that the law is invalid.
The right OF a group of railway
workers 10 strike in concert as a
result of wage differences was
denied in the course of the majority
Of opinion. by Chief Justice White.
This principle may readily prove the
more important of the decision, as
the danger of a nationwide strike
was averted early today before the
court passed an opinion. knowledge
that the supreme court holds this
view is apt 10 have a pronounced
effect on future attempts by railroad
workers to better their condition.
That right, said Justice White.
in speaking Of the right to strike in
concert, lis necessarily surrendered

public service. They are compar-
able TO soldiers in the ranks. who
