The Liberty League
Another paper, which had a short life, and whose publishers were
unannounced, made its appearance April 3, 1873, its name being The Liberty
League. The paper was started as an organ for the liquor dealers of Rock
Island and the ad joining cities. It lived three weeks, when, as generally
supposed, the material was stole during the night time, shipped to
Burlington, Iowa, and sold.
