signs of having recently been washed The
blood stains have been microscopicaliy

traced TO the possession of Sadler, who IS

From the time it became known that
Sadler had been arrested and was charged
with the murder of "Carroty Nell, the
greatest excitement has prevailed in and
around White Chapel The police station
has been surrounded by vast crowd,
mostly of women, eager for sight of the

tearing the prisoner to pieces were uttered
by many of the excited women: When
the prisoner was removed To the police

BITTER PROHIBITION WAR.

MARION, Kan, Feb. 16.-The bitter pro-

Observation-Disclosures and the illegal whisky
sellers in Cheney, Sed2wck county. Is
only eGualled by the terrific strife going

ence. Rev. Shaw, the local Sam Jones of

sellers. and while his life aud the safety of
his family have been threatened in various
WAYS, he invades the dives and dens with
impunity Friday he made complaint
against "a numb"~ of men and women
and had them ought TO the county
iail Seme of the gave bail
and were released Shaw Immediately
swore out warrants against them on other
counts, and had them rearrested and
lodged in Jail again. Two other leaders of
the gang, John Hawley and Joe Carroll,
were run in. This has intensified the feel
ing against the evangelist. and tie com
munity will not be surprised to hear that
he has suffered Earm The are subppDas
out for more than 100 witnesses, and for
the past two days Sheriff Davis, with
deputies, has been serving them. The en-
tire country is aroused. The criminal
docket for the March term of the district
court is larger than it has ever BEEN In the
history of the county, and lt is probable
that the entire term of the court Will be
consumed in trying whisky cases, and the
county pays the fiddler The sentiment in
this community is ripe for an anti-prohi-
