Prohibition Demonstration Over Saloons in Olive Township
A Goshen crowd protested saloon locations in Olive Township as two-year removal under law looms. ROW reports three saloons, all in Wakarusa, licenses due to expire June 1. County commissioners meeting drew many remonstrators amid unsettled local sentiment. Goshen residents urged others to buy drinks in Elkhart. John Alexander Dowie was seen on a Wabash train to Chicago. Goshen folk left at New Paris. Mrs. Samuel Sinjin moved from North Third Street to her daughter’s home and later to the Middlebury road five miles east where the ambulance served.
