Cora Phillips, Mary Holmes and
Annie Sattelie, the three courtesans
who were arrested by Officer Fonck on
Tuesday, were released by Judge Gray
on their own recognizance. Annie
Sattelie so far disregarded her word of
honor to the court that she ran away.
The other two were arraigned at 10
o'clock yesterday morning before
Judge Gray. Of course the court
room was crowded with select and
apprecative audience, many of our
first citizens and church-goers being
on hand to take in the rare bit of sport.
When the appointed time arrived the
accused came into court amidst sem
sation, but themselves perfectly bra
zen and apparently more careless
about the matter than many of the
spectators. We thought that we no.
ticed several men dodge out of their
sight as they came into the room, but
we might have been mistaken. The
assemblage was disappointed finally,
as Col Stanford, the attorney for de-
fense, asked continuance until Sat-
urday, and the women We're released
on filing bonds of Sl00 each.
Mr.. M. Kremer concluded his servi-
ces as Clerk of the Common Council
yesterday, and on the first of March
he gives place to Mr.. S. B. Caswell,
who was elected his successor some
time since. Mr.. Kremer will speedi-
ly be installed as Tax Collector of the
county. The Council passed series
of resolutions upon Mr.. Kremer's re-
firing, which must be highly gratify-
ing to him.
Mr.. Geo. Neale, reporter for the
Eighteenth Judicial District Court, is

writing, which may be acquired in q
month or six weeks. See advertise

WITH the.exception of the few who
expect to hold office under it, We
have yet to find man who favors the
passage of what is known as McCoN-
NELL's Irrigation Bill. All concede
that it is unjust in its provisions and
imposes heavy tax on the farmer
without giving him anything like an
adequate return therefor. A number
of remonstrances against the passage
of this bill have already been sent to
the delegation, and we advise the
farming community to continue in the
good work. To pass the bill as it now
reads will be to create an onerous law
from which only those who enforce Its
provisions will reap a benefit. We
need legislation on irrigation, but ii
is legislation that will benefit the cul-
tivators of the soil, not oppress them

Advancing Backward.
money


AS might have been expected, the
Erp, eSs is endeavoring to escape the
self stultifying position in which it
has placed itself on the fraudulent IL
tie question, by initiating the peculiar
movement of the crawfish when it ad-
vances backward with its tail ahead.
1t now attempts to dodge the issue by
writing long homilies on the injury
which will be worked on innocent pur-
chasers through setting aside of the
patents issued by the Government to
such grants as the Lomos de Santiago.
TO those who have read the opinion Of
Secretary CHANDLER, the transpar-
ency of this position is so apparent as
| to need neither comment or explana-
tion. The Secretary explicitly says
| that the evidence is conclusive that
| the present owners OF the land were
aware of the fraudulent means by
which the grant had been increased in
area when they became its purchasers.
He then proceeds to advise that III the
setting aside of patents known to have
been obtained by fraud, care should be
taken not to trespass on the rights Of
innocent purchasers. This disposesof
the rodomontade in Senator JONES
elephant, on those who have purchased
parts of the grants in good faith and
without knowledge that the
patents had been obtained through
representations not sustained by the
facts. In the opinion of the Secretary
no man who is an innocent purchaser
of farm in the Lomos de Santiago,
or any other grant, should be dis
turbed. The innocent purchasers
plea is perhaps made in the interest of
Senator JONES, but the fact that at
the opening of the lot sale in Santa
Monica the agent of the company an
nounced that they would not give pur-
chasers warrant and defend deed |,
is indicative that Mr.. JONES became
part owner of Santa Monica and San
Vicente ranches with the full knowl-
edge that the titles were clouded and
that, sooner or later, they would come
up for settlement. We will also re-
mind our cotemporary that in is spe-
cial pleadings it has overlooked the
fact that the dispute about the title to
lands in which its master is interest
ed is not one in which the government
is concerned. 1t is question in which
only private parties are contestants,
and is as dissimilar from tie case OF
the Lomas de Santiago as the Erpress
is unlike an intelligent and respecta-
BILE newspaper. When we get down
to the substratum of the question we
find that it is only those who are hold
ing land to which they know their
title is not good who are crying out
against investigation. The argument
of the JONES founding that though q
grant may have been originally void,
and the boundaries extended from
four to eleven leagues, it should not
now be disturbed, is similar to that of
a Police Court shyster who, after hav-
ing received the stolen goods as fee,
sets up plea of not guilty and main
tains the innocence of his client 1t
is an exhibition of moral turpitude
that disgusts all right.minded men.

Republican party of Scdgwick county
had better consult soreheads and DEM

more probable that the Republican par

Prof. A. B. Lennon.

The nomination, by the Republican
State Convention, of our townsman,
| Prof A. B. Lemmon,as candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
| was not only surprise to himself and
large. But the Republicans of the
State can feel assured that it is no mis-
take he is upon the ticket. He is not
only competent to fill the Office, but he
is practical man. 1t is due the great
party that will support him i'll the
coming election to state something of
his history. Aged only twenty-nine
years, born in Harrison county, Ohio,
reared and educated in Iowa. After a
course of studyiat Howe's high school,
at Mt. Pleasant Iowa, he became prin-
cipal of the public school at Brighton,
Iowa, at the age of nineteen. He there
earned means to put him into the Iowa
State University, from which he grad
uated at the head of his class in June
1869. Going directly to Arkansas, he
organized the public schools at Fit.
Smith, and remained there two years.
Resigning his position there in the
spring of 1871, he came to Cowley
county and purchased farm and
labored thereon that season. In the
fall he was appointed superintendent
of the city schools of Independence,
and was very successful in that posi-
ton. Returning to Windfield last
summer, at the request of the school
board he took charge of the graded
schools in this city for the year ending
last July The Professor having de-
termined to leave the school room for
the court room-was admitted to The
bar at the last term of court in this
county. He is at present teaching an
interesting normal class in this place,
and as soon as released will be heard
from the stump in favor of the straight
ticket in which position he can take
care of himself Wiafeld Courier.
