but be he has taken an appeal against this action of the city authorities I 1 denying their jurisdiction on no decision has been arrived at upon t these appeals as the district court has not been in session since they were made meanwhile he kept on treating the city its ordinances and its officers with the 0 greatest con contempt tem pt Al another iother lother complaint was recently made upon oath before the alderman setting forth that mr paul engelbrecht Engelbrech fe was continuing to sell liquor without license and that V vat gat 1 1 his place it could be bought in any quantity from two bits worth up to the barrel upon which the alderman issued his warrant in accordance with section seven of the city eity ordinance directed to ehfe city Mir marshai marshal shai bhai command ing him to td enter said place and to Idem demolish blish all things found therein used for the unlawful rul fal sellin selling gand and dis posing of vinous or fermented liquors without license armed with this document the city marshal with his hia force proceeded to mr engelbrechts saloon and finding mr engelbrecht was absent having gone out of town yester 9 day of which fact however the officer was ignorant read his warrant to mr chris bohmke and then proceeded to carry out his hia instructions he and the captain of police assigned the men their various duties some to roll out the barrels which were on the upper floor into the street others to go into the cellar and demolish what tuey they found there others othera to knock in the heads of the bar reia rela and others to break the bottles and ewes eases the police proceeded quietly but bui sternly with their duty they used no unnecessary violence and did not break anything tha thal did not hold bold ili lii lii or or kasnot was not

the furniture and ornaments were left intact bat no spirits wine or fermented drinks were left the kwas of the barrels were knocked in they hey were raised on to their ends and then rolled into the middle of the streel street Some strangers in town gathered with the crowd fo to witness the scene seene and they commented upon the fact that nob not a drop of any auy kind of liquor was taste tasted d by the officers the work of demolition occupied half an hour and before ib it was vvs ended about spectators had collected but quiet prevailed and there was no excitement manifested throughout the whole transaction itis with we chronicle this thia act of rigid and necessary justice on thep the part artof of oun our city eity ansary authorities thorl ties the sale of jlou liquors ors in itu our city gity and aud territory except for medicinal purposes we have been thoroughly and uncompromisingly opp opposed used to these are our private feelings on the subject but it has been deemed necessary by the city council after being petitioned petition bd and remonstrates remonstrated with on the subject to td grant a limited number bumber of licenses to sell liquor the propriety of this action i we do not question but in granting thus thu much the council has also aiso taken care to prescribe metes ani aul bounds to prevent the abuse of this liberty not satisfied ho however reve veve r with the privilege r i of sellin lingby sel bel b license icente there has jias pu been e en a disposition manifested by certain evilly disposed persons to trample ale upon and aud defy the authority of the city and pad its ordin ordinance nce nee and officers in this business so much so that they have evir evinced iced a determination to sell liquor whet band fand where they pleased independent of any say license mr engelbrecht has been one of the foremost of these individuals he has the unenviable distinction jot being the first to attempt to test the validity of the city charter and ordinances in the courts on this very question but judge titus decided in favor lavor of the city and that thathy h hs has been persi in lit his apts to over i ride all law and authority in this cinat ter is 9 evident from aiom the fact that this is the third time his establishment has been abated but ho he is not the only one our oar city has a reputation for sabriet sobriety now that it would nott not long ma maintain if men of this class could carry out their thein designs but we are glad that our city off omm officers leers have the nerve to magnify the law and end to use all the authority with which they are invested to check the tide of corruption that seeks to wash down every barrier erected for the maintenance of law and order this laud has been dedicated as a home for the virtuous the industrious and the temperate up to the present virtue and temperance have been honored while intemperance and its long train of vices have been frowned upon and bontem ned who wishes to have it otherwise do the people no their theil influence and voices are utterly opposed to thel the free sale of intoxicating drinks they would have their sale restricted but bata a few individuals would coin the of their fello feilo fellow yr crea brea creatures tures into some shape if they could got sale for it and it is this few whose persistent attempts at ht selling liquors in this city in defiance of all law have excited the disgust of every good citizen oar city officers can dau rely upon a sound bound and strong public to sustain them in their efforts to check such schemes and to preserve peace and good order here and what ia Is more they can depend also on the moral eu isu p pr port of the best classes of society outside of this ahls city when tho facts are known on betl bell behalf a if of the community wo we thank our city officers for what they haqq done dotie and we trust they will neither blacken slacken their vigilance nor be overawed over awed by the threats of the vile in saying this his bis we but give expression t uie tie tle sentiment of the he t entire people posterity wili will bless the men who wisely and valiantly battle against the
