OUTRAGE AT NEBRASKA CITY.

Salvation Army People Drenched by the Fire Department. Nebraska City, Neb., Aug. I.—The Salvation army in this city is in trouble. Members were arrested Saturday night and subsequently released because no charge could be brought against them. Being unable to suppress them by process of law, the city last night endeavored to drown their ardor. When the army appeared on the street the fire department came up, attached a hose to the hydrant, and thoroughly drenched the Salvationists, All fairpiinded citizens denounce the performance, and an action at law would result in heavy damages against the city.
