Stuart flew into passion and de-
manded of Elliot how soon he could get
ready for trial.
Elliot replied, just as soon as he could
get his lawyers there.
you'll get ready right now" yelled
the judge. "Mr. Clerk, call jury"
Mr.. Elliot demonstrated, that his law
yer, James Falcon, was thirty miles
away trying another case.
81 appoint you, Mr.. Bowers, to defend
this man, ~ said the judge.
Bowers is the secretary of the Repub-
lican county central committee, and a
Leland plugger.
The jury had been dismissed for the
term and so a special venire was ordered.
On this venire was placed four members
of the Republican county central CON-
mittee, three of Cy Leland's renters, the
man who assaulted Elliot at Highland
Staten for making Bryan speech, in
1896, two Of this fellows uncles and
choice assortment of Leland pluggers
and hangers on, One Democrat was put
on the venire by mistake, but he was
promptly challenged for cause as soon as
he entered the box. The members Of
the jury all swore that they did not
know that Mr. Elliot was editor of the
Times. Two Of them were his subscrib-
ers. In the argument the jury were
appealed to as Republicans Tor verdict
Of guilty. So, with Leland judge, a
Leland jury, Leland prosecuting at
torney and a Leland attorney for the de-
Tense, the case was railroaded through to
verdict of guilty as charged.
Mr.. Elliot fled motion for a new
trial as condition precedent to taking
the case to the higher courts. That
motion was drawn in the language of
the statute, and gave the statutory rea-
sons, among them were misconduct of
the trial judge.
This motion was presented by an at
torney from Atchison named Moxcey.
When Moxcey reached that part of the
motion, Stuart demanded to know if he
prepared it. Moxcey admitted that he
did.
81 fine you SIS for contempt Of court
and debar you from further practice in
this court, was the order of the court.
Among the papers was an affidavit of
Mr.. Elliot's in support Of the motion.
This had not been read or presented to
the court at all. Elliot was not in the
court room, but Stuart ordered the sher-
In to bring him into court.
ibid you sign this affidavit among
the papers in this casef" demanded the
Judge, when Elliot was brought in, i;
Elliot said that he did.
YOU'RE fined $as for contempt Of
court, and will be sentenced to jail until
[ It IS paid" was the judicial comment.

The present trouble dates from two
years ago. For years the board of
commissioners had consisted of Cy Le-
land and two fgureheads. Cy had at last
decided to leave the board and fixed on
his nephew, Al Perry, as his successor.
He forced his nomination over the pro-
test OF the better element of the Re-
publican party, who joined the Populists
and Democrats in an effort to defeat him
at the polls. The district had Repub-
llcan majority of over four hundred, but
Perry was elected by less than twenty
four majority. Perry's father was chair
man of the Democratic county COM
mittee, and there were those who charged
that if he had done his duty by the party
his son would have been beaten at the
polls.

VIM. STRIKER, Editor and Prop.

The action of the Populist State Cen
trail Committee in removing Secretary
Upton, does not meet with the approval
of Populists throughout the state. The
majority of the committee are not repre-
sentative Populists. At least one mem-
Der could not get 10 per cent of the votes
for the place in State Convention.
The State Convention would do well to
look more carefully to the selection of
the committee and it will.

Elliot had his trial first and the jury
disagreed. Then Grinstead was tried
and again there was hung jury. This
had SOLDERING effect on the gang, and a
proposition was made to dismiss the case
against Elliot if he would pay the costs.
Elliot was not in favor of accepting the
proposition, but his attorneys persuaded
him that it was cheaper to buy his way
out than it was to fight it out, and he
agreed 70 the proposition. A padded
bill OF costs was then presented to Elliot
for payment. There was no statutory
warrant for nearly one-half the bill, and
Elliot filed motion to retax the costs.
Tho motion was turned down by Judge
Stuart in the most arbitrary manner.
Elliot rendered the legal costs but re-
fused to pay the bill as rendered. DO

peals had been requested to be in Troy
on the day motion for new trial was
presented and he entered the courthouse
at this stage Of the game. Habeas cor
pus papers were at once prepared and
presented to him and he ordered Elliot
and Moxcey released on bond to appear
III the appellate court. At the next sit
ting of the court the matter was heard
and taken under advisement. No de-
cisiOn has been reached yet.

While the contest was going on, the
Times and the Star were making it so
uncomfortably warm for Leland at home
that it was determined to resort to the
old game Of freeze-out in the courts.
First, a $4,000 damage suit was insti-
tuted against Elliot, Falcon and r. NJ.
Finley of Troy for the alleged killing Of
a boy named Anderson during the con-
is, proceedings before the senate. Judge
Stu 1t was asked to grant dhange of
v-"ue but he refused the request, and
tie ccse is now on the docket. Next,
Albert Perry came to the relief of the
gang. The Wathena Star said that Perry
sold out his party the year before in the
commissioner election, and the Times
copied the squib. Both editors were ar
rested for criminal libel at Perry's insti-
CATION Both filed motions for a change
of venue. Leland in disclosing the mat
ter said they would be given a different
judge to try the case, but that they would
have to stand trial i'll Doniphan county,
and that he would like to see the jury
that would acquit the -- -.
Before the cases came on for trial it had
evidently been decided that it would not
be safe to trust another judge, and so
Stuart announced that he would try the
cases himself.

Democratic clubs, and Marion Watson,
secretary of the Sunfower League, will
escort Claude DuvaH to Wichita Friday
night in order, so a Tammanyite says, to
steer him in his address before Tammany.
Some of the Tammanyites do not like
this proceeding very well, as it looks like
Mack Love and Bill Sapp place too low
an estimate on Tammany's ability to
take care of itself. The Tammany lead
ers are prompt to resent any reference to
their weakness, because they claim they
are strong and ably qualified to take care
of the political welfare of Sedgwick
county. Any interference from outside
sources such as the state central commit
tee and Sun1ower League, is liable to
disrupt Tammany and therefore injure the
county ticket this fall Without Tam
many Judge Dale would loose a secret
support which is said to be quite strong
under the leadership of Harry Stewart.
Judge Dale does not belong, of course,
because he wants to make the Populists
believe he is theirs, soul and body, but
his stenographer was put into the Tam
many ring, together with Harry Stew
art, to represent his royal highness there,
while he plays his own hand with the
Pops. Judge Dale is pulling more strings
in this campaign than any other man in
it, but if Mack Love and Bill Sapp go to
monkeying with Tamany that string will
break before election time.

STORES WILL CLOSE
On Regular Time, Carnival Week, to
Allow Clerks to see the Fair.

1t has been rumored that several stores
in the city intend to keep open at night
during carnival week. While this may be
So it is doubtful whether any of the best
stores will do this. Probably few viii
keep their doors open, in the hope CT
making a few cents. but all the better
stores will close as usual and allow their
clerks to enjoy part of the fair.
When small towns like Newton and FL
Dorado close their doors at night during
their street fairs a city like Wichita will
hardly refuse its courtesy to the men who
worked so hard and who have contributed
materially to help the street fair.
Pertaining to the rumOr, the Statesmen :
Protective association. affiliated with the
c. L. T., have signiied their intention to
specially request the merchants to close
on regular time during carnival week,
and to exert their influence to have all
stores do the same.
