He counted out and over atout ¥ in tolls for thew. Bystanders who witnessed the transaction concluded that Strickler was notifging the connty prohibition committee- men throuchout the state that Omabia was woing solid against the amendment It was also thought that he had invented stories of intimidation against probibition voters for the sole purpose of creating prejudice in the yural districts to intensify the fecling agaiust Omaha. Telegrams wore soon afer recoived by Tur Bar: from several towns in the state stating that prohibition workers were oshibiting telegrams from thelr co- laborers in Omaha carrying the false report that this city was o ¢ to riot and that proh mobbed and driven fr sald, however, that this con temptible’trick had availed nothing so faras could be perceived The truth is that theve wore teifling dis- turbances in but ¢ four wards, The: were | { by men peddiing tickets who were not residents of the respective wards, and some not residents of the state, and who persisted in attempts to challenge anti- probibition_voters and in peddling bogus tickets, ot & _single prohibition voter was in the slightest degree fnterfered within voting, and scores of pro- hibitionists worked at the polls throughout the day without hindrance cr molestation, In one instance, at least, threp ur of anti-prohibitionists were made, licse parties were attempting to prevent a prohibi tionist from working ata volling place in the Fourth ward n.

A Slight Disturbance. About four o'clock yesterday afternoo thero was a slight disturbance at the pollin placo of the fifth district in the fourth ward. There was a red-headed prohibitionist there witn o handful of tickets. Ho was a hum loss, secdy looking creature, and his appear- anco would have made votes against the amendmentrather than for it, but G, B. Harris, u saloon keeper, and _some of his friends thought the free whi ticket peddlel had better be relieved of his tickets, and they began by pull- fng tio Tikots ot of bis bund Ofticer Cox, who was stationed there, told Harris and’ his friends to desist, but they paid no attention, and finally tho oficer was obliged to shove them off tho sidewalk. Har- ris_then huated up Special Officer Jacobs and told him to arrest the prohibitionists. This Jucobs was about to do, when Ofiicer Cox stopped him and said SGentlomen, that mun s not disturbing anybody, and you shall not be permitted to disturd him. Analteration ensued between Cox, Harris and Jacobs, in which several prominent gen- tlemen took the part of Officer Cox and told him to stand his ground. He was finally obliged to arrest Harris and Jacobs and send them to the police station. The prohibition ticket peddler soon took his doparture, as ho was porsuaded that his prescnce at the polls was not doing his cause any good and might lead to further trouble Swearing Unregistered Voters, Tuere was not atremendons rush of un- registered voters at the city clerk’s office, as had been anticipated, At 10:15 . m, Deputy City Clerk Counsman received B, omuuniction from Mayor Gush- ng designating him toact in the place of the city clerk to swear in unrogistered votors and to perform such_other dulies pertaining to the office as might be necessary.

Each of the women carried o large haudful of tickets, but most of them kept the tickets carefully concealed. The procession halted at the Third district of ~the Eighth ward, and the children commeuced piping & prohibition song, led by the two young women.
