The question of sig- nals came up and Baker wanted to know just how long each blast lasted, Addressing_himself to the witness he asked: “Did it sound like this ‘ahhh-hoooo-wooo-wooo” (fortissimo) or did it sound like this “wooo-hooo- w00000?” On the last “hooo” Baker’s voice suddenly bent.

Small Liquor Houses Prosper. Small liguor establishments which prior to Colorado’s becoming “dry" had difficulty in doing sufficient busi ness to enable them to meet the state | and city license of $1,500 a year have | become prosperous concerns, A Fif teenth street saloon which prior to this year had a very poor and con stantly dwindling business, now em- ploys more than a dozen people. Its 1eceipts during April were $500 a day, or $15000 for the month. Its new business virtually in its entirety comes from northern Colorado. There are numerous other concerns to which the same story applies, not to mention the business which has come to the old, well established liquor houses as a result of Colorado prohibition Rush to the City. The effect of dry Colorado is be- ing felt by other lines of business than that represented by the liquor houses A large and steadily increasing num ber of Colorado people are visiting Cheyenne because prohibition is not in effect here. This element formerly went to Denver to transact business but now prefers Cheyenne because Denver is “dry.” The money which such visitors spend for liquor is but a small part of that which they leave here, hotels, garages, wholesale houses, branch agencies, ctc., receiv- ing their patronage. So marked has been the trend of business travel from ¢ [northern Colorado to Cheyenne, in fact, that Denver wholesalers are finding it necessary to establish branches here in order to hold north- ern Colorado business. License Becomes Issue. Ordinary saloon men whose mail- order business is but a small side-is- sue, have protested so strenuously against the fact that mail-order liquor concerns are not licensed that the city commissioners now are wrestling with the problem of how to reach .hrse concerns with a licensing ord- inance which can be enforced. Such an ordinance has been drawn and will be passed soon. It provides that mail crder concerns shall pay the same license as saloons, namely, $1,500 a year. “I am selling from twelve to four- teen carloads of beer in Cheyenne a month,” said a representative of an eastern brewery, “while before Color- ado went “dry” I thought I was lucky if 1 sold half a dozen in a year.” Local Consumption Same. A feature of the new situation is that despite the enormous increase in the liquor business transacted here there has been no appreciable increase in Cheyenne's liquor consumption The city merely has become a clearing house for liquor destined for consump- tion in Colorado. The sale is made here but the product is consumed south of the state line. The profit of course, remain with the selle R.E. Rogers, Early | Resident, Is Dead E 0f Hea;‘t Failure| BRUCE JEFFORDS Relatives of Bruce Jeffords of Her- rick, S. D, have written The Bee ask- ing for aid in helping locate the man | who left his home town April 9, came to Omaha, and has not been heard from since, According to a letter from W. H. Jeffords of Herrick, the missing man said he was going to Omaha to have an operation per= formed John Buck accompanied him to Omaha, the men parting company at the Union depot. That was the last the relatives heard of him. He is described as being 42 years old; weight, 155 pounds; height, five feet, eleven inches; brown hair, gray around the ears; gray eyes, dark skin and brown moustache; slender build; wore at the time of his disappearance a brown suit, brown overcoat and brown cap, and carried a gray rain- coat Jeffords is said to be a member of the Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of the World, His relatives wrote that he carried several thousand dollars worth of life insurance, NEARLY TWO INCHES OF RAIN IN OMAHA| Precipitation Reaches 1.80 Inches Here. But is Light Over the Rest of State NO RAIN IN THE WEST AT ALL The big rain in Omaha Wednesday night amounted to 1.80 inches. It didn’t extend far out into the state. No other point in Nebraska or lowa got nearly as much rain as Omaha. Plattsmouth, with 1 inch, was next highest, and Tekamah got .86 of an inch. Other points reported much less Rain started here at 5:35 and con- tinued to 7:10 p. m.; started again at 7:35 and lasted till 8:20; then began on the final shower at 8:55. And by 11 o'clock the stars were shining from a perfectly clear sky By morning it had clouded up again and the forecast now is for “unset tled today, with probably showers.” No Damage to Roads.
