master—Much Enthusiasm
Displayed.
Twelve Seward youths signed on the
dotted line at last evening’s prelimi
nary meeting of the formation of a
Boy Scout Troop, thereby signifying
> their earnestness in making the troop
1 a reality and a success. The meet
ing was presided over by E. Swetmann

Following the opening talk, in which
he stressed the duties of boy scouts,
and outlining in general the activities
of such troops, Mr. Swetmann form
ally called the business meeting to
order at which a patrol leader, How

made, one for Otto and the other for
Bernard Horton. A ballot was taken,
Bernard receiving four votes and Otto
seven. All offices will be held until
the first of the year when another

A vote was taken as to what night

outcome of this was that Friday eve
ning at 7 o’clock, was selected. This
met with the general approval of all
the boys. v •
After a warm discussion, it was de

troop, which he accepted. E. Swet

BATCH OF LIQUOR

OUGHFARE WHEN NOXIOUS
FUMES OF PUNGENT ALCOHOL
IC LIQUOR ATTRACTS PASSERS
BY—ODOR FAMILIAR, SAY SOME
The days before prohibition were
recalled vividly this morning around
the courthouse building, due to the
stench of liquor emanating from some
source, reaching the quivvering nos
trils of many pedestrians.
While a small group of Seward citi
zens gathered and watched, sixteen
and one-half gallons of “hard” liquor,
better known as plain “mule” or “jack
ass,” in the vernacular of boozedom,
and probably two gallons of glistening,
golden, reputed Scotch whiskey, was
destroyed this morning back of the
Federal building. Deputy U. S. Mar
shal Reed, Prohibition Officer Flan
nigan, and Commissioner C. R. Mor
ford, composed the official party that
broke the bottle, flasks, demijohns
and casks, in which had reposed the
liquor which at prevailing prices
would have been valued at approxi
mately two hundred bucks.
