DRY PROTEST IN 1867
Remonstrance Signed By
Old Timers Is Found; Wm.
Chase Sold Less Than a Qt.
Stories of pioruer days are al
ways interesting, especially if
they pertain to the history of
the particular locality in which
we live. The pioneers of Inde
pendence could tell many an in
teresting incident that wouM
hold breathless the interest oN
the present generation, and the
Monitor has often wished that
one of them would go back to
the old .days and write of the
events that happened then.
Curt Cooper, a Bmall boy in
the sixties, but the son of a pi
oneee father and mother, a few
davs aero while going thru his
father's effects, found an inter
esting legal paper which was of
vital importance in 1867 and ere
ated much contention in the
otmmumty. It was a remon
strance filed in the county court
of Polk county "in the matter of
W. M. Chase's application to
sell spirituous liquor in less quan
tities than one quart" Sullivan
& Whitson were the attorneys
for the remonstrators, The fol
lowing names appear on the pe
tition: W Water house, William
Mason, N. H. Butler, W. L.
HedgeB, P. H. D. Murphy, Da
vid Rohrer, Solomon Tetherow,
John D. Murphy, A. S. Butler,
E. Murphy, H. Mulkey, I. P.
Beebe, Wm. F. Kramer, J. M.
Mason, A. W. Lucas, Elijah
Davidson. E. W. Carlisle, J. T.
Johnson, I. Psrge and Luke
Mulkey.
Nearly all of these old timers
are dead now. They were the
first "drys" in the Independence
district and that was 48 years
ago, although it will be noticed
that the remonstrance was
against the selling of "spiritu
ous liquors in less quantities
than one quart"
Pioneers of this locality are
cordially invited to contribute to
the Monitor ether stories of the
day when the country

NOVEL INTRODUCTION
"Abraham stsnds before you"
was the introductory greeting
Evangelist A. F. Bennett gave
when he faced a crowded church
Sunday night Then he pro
ceeded to preach one of the most
forceful sermons ever heard in
Independence.
NOT AT ALL LIKE MILWAUKEE
They Don't Do Things In Independence
Like The j Do "Back Home"
They don't do things in Inde
pendence. Or., as they do in
Milwaukee, Wis., and as a result
Edward Keickbush, of Milwau
kee, left Oregon last week a
poorer and a sadder man.
The other day as Mr. Keick
bush and his wife were riding
through Independence on their
Harley-Davidson side car, he
spied the first saloon he had
seen in many a mile of dusty
travel and he immediately halW
his rig and disappeared behind
the swinging doors.
Soon he came out with two
tumblers of foaming beer and he
presented one of the tumblers to
his wife, who, for the moment,
imagined she was back in dear
aid Wisconsin. Suddenly, how.
ever, they heard this crnounce
ment: "You are under arrest,"
and they looked around to see
that they were within the clutch
es of the law.
"What'" the idea?" snapped
Keickbush, surprised.
"There is a law in Independ
ence which specifically forbid?
serving drinks on the street,
that's the idea," replied the
"copper." I
When it came time to pay the
fine of $5 Keickbush wrote out
his check calmly, but he made
this notation, "I pay this under j
protest and I hope Independence
goes to the devil with it." Sun
day Oregonian.
ROUGH ON THE DOGS
First the city ordered the dogs
to be chained, then the Live
Stock Sanitary Board, and now
comes John W. Orr, sheriff, with
a notice to the same effect.
As far as the Independence
dogs are concerned, they have
been tied for six weks in the
day time at least, but their un
cles and aunts and grandpapa in
the est of Polk county have
heretofore been enjoying their
freedom and maintaining their
social race. Now they too must
be deprived of their liberty and
be attached to a chain to pine
and howl.
A decision of the supreme
court rendered last week de
prives officials of the right to
kill dogs without the consent of
their owners; so in the future,
Instead of killing the dog run
ning at large, the officers will
follow the animal home, capture
its master and lead the gentle-1
man to the nearest court where
not less than $50 will be deduct
ed from their pocketbook.
EVERYBODY THERE

TO RECALL OR
NOT TORECALL
THAT IS THE QUESTION
The Whole County Awaits
With Deep Interest the Of
ficial "Bill of Particulars"
The threatened recall of Judge
Teal and Commissioners Wells
and Beckett, is still in embryo
and ns yet no petitions are ia
circulation.
Until the petitions are circu
lated nnd charges are made,
backed by reputable men, no
unbiased opinion is possible.
That there is much criticism of
of the county court cannot be
denied but whether it is of suffic
ient seriousness to justify tho
recall with the expense thereof
remains to be judged when tho
official "bill of particulars" Is
given to the public.

daughter of Mrs. Luey Baldwin,
