Assistant Attorney General Camp
bell came back from Topeka yesterday
after consultation with Attorney Cen
eral Dawes and the result of their con-
ference was two injunctions.
These two mighty men again renew
ed their determination to make Wich-
ita sweat.
The very first official act of Campbell
after getting back was an attack upon
widow and her orjhans.
Three months ago all Wichita mourn
ed the death of ]. H. Alley an esteemed
citizen and a man who had rendered
many services 10 his city and his coun-
ty-and, by the way,to this same Camp
bell. Mr.. Alleys body was laid in state
at the knights Templar conclave and
many were they who shed tears as they
passed the coffin of one whom they
knew so well and favorably in life. 1t
was not a class or society exclusively
ali mourned him.
Ii would require great stretch of
the Imagination on the midnight that
solemn services were held over the
body Of Mr.. Alley by the Masons 10
think that inside OF 100 days a man
should rise up in Wichita TO take the
bread out Ct the mouths of the widows
and orphans who sat in tears and sor-
row around the casket Of their loved
dead.
At his death Mr.. Alley left to his wild
ow and orphans the business building
at go East Douglas avenue. 1t was
{ Il " To- nov
son and rented for 800 per month.
Notwithstanding the fact that rents
declined Wall & Davidson still con-
tinued to pay the old rental to the wild
ow and never even asked, or thought
of asking, for reduction.
To make a long story short the as
sistant attorney general yesterday en-
joined Mrs. Alley from renting ii to Wall
& Davidson or anybody else who may
use it for a place where Intoxicating
liquors are kept and sold. The result
is that the rent stopped last night, the
building is practically vacant and IN
all probability from this day on the
building will not rent for more than
$50 per month.
The act did not seem to sting thecon-
science of Tiger Bill in the least. He
went about as happy as if he had done
something grand. He cared not for
the widow nor the orphans. He felt
like enioining one or two of the thirty
two buildings in the city and out of
the chivalry of his grand Christian
heart he began with the weak ana de-
fensless widow. But perhaps 1t Is TOO
early vet to speak about Mrs. Alley De-
ing defenseless. There is too mlIch
manhood in Wichita to justify the state
ment and too much Christian charity.
That injunction may probably be the
straw that will break the Campbell
or the tigers back.
The assistant attorney general also
filed an injunction against Schftzier
place on North Market street.
In accordance with the provisions OF
the prohibitory law there is no choice
left for the Judge but to grant tenn
porary Injunction when an applica-
ton is made for it.. 1t is not so in any
other law but the supporters OF the pro
hibitory law knowing is weakness be-
fore public sentiment went out OF their
way and beyond the constitutional
shirt to provide It with all the props
and supports that they could invent

statement. temporary injunction, ana
have the place closed until the maj
hearing of the case is heard.
When the final hearing in this case
will come up is not yet definite but II
will probably be reached as early as
possible.
