ANOTHER RAID.

ders and Places Them I'm Jail.-Hill
Pleads Guilty on Two Counts.
Sheriff Babb with a posse of con.
stables came down from Columbus
Sunday night and before daylight had
gathered in w. P. Johns, Henry Ohlen,
&C. Kennedy ana 7. j. Thornton, all
charged with violating the prohibition
law. 1t seems that few residents Of
this city formed an anti-hop-tea as
ISOLATION some time ago and employed
SPY to call on all the joints success
sively and treat his friends to liquor
thereby making them witnesses for the
state. The scheme has apparently
worked well as there are quite a num-
Der of counts against all the defend
ants and they will probably be elected
10 spend few months in Jail and pay
heavy fines. Henry Ohlen is one of
the old residents of Baxter and has
kept bakery and restaurant for over
twenty years. Johns CANT here about
three years ago, is painter by trade,
but of late has kept place In VIM.
Tenelze's building. Thornton and
Kennedy are comparative strangers,
having been only few weeks in the
business. All of the above were SELL
ing hop tea under a city license, but
they may have sold something besides
hop tea.
Geo. p. Hill was brought down at
the same time by jailor james Chew
and appeared in court before Squire
Williams Monday morning OH q
charge of violating the prohibition law.
Hill pleaded guilty on two counts and
was sentenced to pay 5000 fine and
costs and to serve sixty days in the
county Jail. Soon after Hill gave
Chew the slip aud made break for
liberty. He made for the Indian ter
ritory aud succeeded in getting IA
miles away when Chew aud deputy
u. S. Marshal Jones succeeded in
capturing him and bringing him back
in irons. No one thought Chew could
ever find him in the heavily wooded
timber of the nation, but Hill believ-
ed he was safe when he crossed the
line and took no precaution. Never
theIess Mr.. Chew deserves great cred
it for his energy aud efficiency in max
ing the capture.
We do not propose to take sides
with either party in this fight but 1t
is our province to give our readers q
full account of all that transpires In
our midst and we propose to do 1t at
all hazards. We have been subject to
sharp criticism by both sides, but the
News IL an independent newspaper
and we wish to present both sides full
", freely, fairly aud honestly.
We will say that bitter aDtagon-
ism exists between the prOhibitiOnisis,
and the anti-prshIbitiOuists, and while
both may have reason for their action
the News has no place in the fight and

Ex-senator ingalls,, in a speech at
the national prohibition camp ground
at Port Richmond, New York, says
"Kansas tried to wrestle with the pro-
hibition question ten years ago and
vet there is no town in that state where
a man cannot get all the liquor he
wants." AS applied to Baxter Springs
just at the present time the above
statement is merely one of the senator's
''irridescent dreams"

THE AMPHrrnrArRE.

The amphitheatre is now dead
moral certainty. A large force Of
men and teams have been at work all
this week getting logs, lumber and
other material and the building will
be completed within ten days. The
committee inform us that liberal do
nations have been made, but they are
chiefly from the wealthy class of citi-
zens, such as teamsters, day laborers,
mechanics and general roustabouts.
The impecunious capitalists, the bank
ers, the beggarly money loaners and
poverty stricken aristocratis have yet
10 be heard from. 1t is the general
belief that the merchants aud well-to-
do citizens of Baxter Springs will
come forward and help with this
work, as il certainly is for The benefit
of the whole city. Of course the bloat-
ed, bed-ridden veterans Of the war
should be required to do most Of the
work, but the committee wish to give
everybody chance to become MEM
bers of the association and they need
all the help they can get. Anyone
wishing 10 become a member, or do
nate dollar or two may apply to the
committee, and if their moral charac-
ter is all right they will he admitted
and contributions thankfully received.
