Which Will Come Out of the
Peoples Pockets,
Through the Arrest of the
Sanders Army.
NEELY GETS $4,000
whAa Kay Account For His
Great Haste
In Nabbing Over Four Hun
dred Men
And Hauling Them 800 Miles
by Railroad,
TO UNLOAD ON TOPEKA
Where They May Have to Be
Supported
By Contributions From the
General Public.

The United States officials are person
ally Interested in the arrest of General
Sanders and his commorweal army,
which no doubt accounts for the willing
ness with which they responded to the
request of the Missouri Pacific officials to
arrest the men and bring them to TOpe-
ka.
United States Marshal Neelv will get
in the neighborhood of $4,000 in fees
for his services in arresting these men
and bring them to Topeka.
The United States statutes provide that
the United States marshal shall receive
50 for each warrant served which count
ing the 451 enrolled commonwealers
gives Mr.. Nicely 5000 for making the
rest
For transporting himself, guard and
each prisoner from the place of arrest,
Scott City to Topeka, a distance of 800
miles. ten cents a mile for each indi-
vidual. For this one item Marshal
Nicely gets $16,530. OF course under
ordinary circumstances the marshal
would have to pay the regular railroad
fare of three. cents a mile which for
himself, party and prisoners would re-
duce his receipts about $4,000.
1t is understood, however, that the
Missouri Pacific officials were so anxious
to get rid of the cOmmOnwealers that the
train bringing the men to Topeka was
furnished free.
Marshal Nicely also is allowed cents
mile for himself and deputies when go
ing to the place where an arrest is to be
made, which amounts to about 81 800.
Figuring Marshal Neely's fees with
the understanding that the special train
did not cost him anything, he will get no
less than $1S,232, which does not include
his fees for subpRaning witnesses, when
the case comes to trial
United States Commissioner E. A
Wagener comes in for his share of the
governments cash, which however seems
a mere pittance alongside the enormous
amount which goes into the pocket of
Marshal Nicely
The above figures have been verified
for the STATE JOURNAL by the best legal
counsel in the city, and are absolutely
correct
