A New Phase,

Topeka, Oct. 2l.-The application
of County Attorney W. H. Morris Of
Crawford county, for an injunction
preventing the further prosecution Of
-viOlators Of the liquor law by Assist
ant Attorney General T. W. Cogswell,
has opened a new fight in the prohibi
tory law enforcement in this state.
The attorney general was served
with notice that the application for
an injunction would be heard by
Judge West in Chambers at Fort
Scott, October 26.
In bringing this suit County Attor-
ney Morris holds that the attorney
general has no power to appoint an
assistant to prosecute yiOlators of the
law in Crawford county while he, the
regularly elected officer for that pur.
pose, is in the office. He also claims
that under no circumstances would
the attorney general have power to
make such an appointment, as it prop
erly belongs to the Jurisdiction of the
district Judge. The question involved
in this litigation promises to cause a
spirited and bitter fight.
Assistant Attorney General T. W.
Cogswell will come to Topeka Monday
and confer with the attorney general
in the matter.

covered large river in the Province
OF Quebec. Shortly after his party
crossed the Height of Land. they fol-

in the lake st, John region, and the
third, near Lake MistiSsini.
This long river, for which the
Indians have no name. is much larger
