Wide Open Resort Keeper Badly Frightened at Crusade Decides To Observe the Law. Lowell, Ind., July 14; —Reports come from Cedar Lake that all the saloons were closed tight Sunday, and that when offers to pay double priceifor drinks were made to saloon keepers on the west side of the lake they were told that they could not have a drink for SSO. Parties that came from the lake said that everything was closed all around the lake. There was a slump in the number of Chicago “sports” who come to the lake Sundays to have a good time, owing to this war being made against the saloons and dives. One keeper of a notorious' joint, who has been harboring a bunch of Chicago ‘‘ladies,” has become pretty badly scared and went to Crown Point to And out what the Law and Order league was going to do with him, so report says. It is understood that the proprietors of the Webber, Gerbing and Spanier saloons have declared their intentions of observing the Sunday closing law. It is ~ further stated that a movement is on foot to incorporate the east side to prevent the Moody influence from getting control.
