ton Sparta. Place MAS about as drunk
as was his prisoner at that time. The
next day Place came to this place and
took Brown back to the other place for
trial. Brown had been searched upon
his arrival ut the county bastile, but
nothing was found upon him. When the
constable returned with the prisoner,
after his trial. it was difficult to tell
which OF the two was the more under the
influence. A referee would probably
have declared that Brown was the more
sober. Turnkey Stuart did not think to
search Brown again and wa about 10 lock
bim up, when he noticed Place going
through him and saw the constable
take SIS from hIs pocket. Stuart told
the officer that he had no right to do
such thing, but the ProhibltiOnist
said he knew what he was doing. Then
Stuart made the Spartan gentleman
hand over receipt for the amount
taken. Five dollars was gwen the
turnkey aud an acknowledgement that
the other $40 was retained for safe
keeping by the constable. The fact IS
that no constable has anv right to
search a prisoner. and if Brown desires
he can have the Prohibitionist arrested
for taking the money. Brown was re-
leased last evening on writ of cer-
tiOrari because the commitment was
not properly made out.

ST. LOUIS, No., July 1.-THE story

scheme said to have been concerted by
the Farmers Alliance for holding back
wheat is denounced by those who ought
