Saloons Among the Nez Perce Indians Abolished

THIRTY-FIVE saloons in Nez Percé and Idaho counties, in the panhandle of Idaho, southeast of Spokane, have been put out of business through a decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States affirming the judgment of the federal court of Idaho in the case against George Dick, an Indian, convicted on the charge of selling liquor on the Nez Percé Reservation, and sentenced to serve a term in the penitentiary. The decision is sweeping, and may be interpreted to mean that saloons on other reservations in the Northwest are to be put under the ban.
