Our indomitable friends of the Wo.
mems Christian Temperance Union
have been as active as ever this sum-
mer In their fight against the liquor
sellers. At Poughkeepsie, during the
closing days Of last month, they con-
tended with desperate energy against
the Sal0On-keepers' convention, and are
credited by some observers with having
prayed their adversarles out of town.
At any rate the saloon keepers adjourn
ed their meeting day sooner than was
expected, and the president of the or
ganization declared In his report that
the anti-saloon league was fanatical
band which was reaching out to ruin
the liquor traffic. There is no doubt at
all that that Is its purpose. The report
says, ut is pity that this fanatical
movement has secured such a foothold.
1t is the plain duty of this association
to fight these enemies of legitimate
trade to standstill." 1t looks as If
the association and its friends were q
good deal disconnected. Their foes
fought hard .placarded the town against
them. warned all male residents away
from their vicinity, prayed for them,
sang hymns within hearing of their
meeting, and did everything they could
to make things dismal for them.

DISTRICT cousT.

The SANDER suit brought againstMrs.
/ Carrie Nation by County Attorney
Griffin consumed more than three days
last week, and resulted in judgment
OF one dollar in favor of the plaintiff.
Before the jury was empaneled the de-
PENDANT found herself with no answer
to the plaintiffs petition except that
portion which set forth that the words
complained of were uttered In good
faith, without malice and that she be-
| lieyed them to be true. Judge Gillett
struck out those paragraphs which al
legged that the county attorney was a
frequenter of the Kiowa saloons and
drank liquor and gambled at games
therein. ard consequently had person
al knowledge of the violation of the
| prOhibitory law. AS we stated last
week, the prayer of custer by reason of
the county attorneys failure to dis
| charge his official duty, and the counter
claim of damages by reason of the
plaintiffs statement that the defend
ant was crazy, were also stricken out.
| When the defendant introduced her
testimony, she attempted to show the
county attorneys relations with the sa.
looms by several witnesses but the court
sustained the objections of the plain
tlff's attorneys. This practically set
tied the case and assured the plaintiff
verdict OF some kind. Mrs. Nation
took the stand in her own behalf and
made lengthy explanation of her mo.
tives In making the charges. She said
she had been informed through F. NJ.
Lane of Kiowa, that the county attor-
ney had received money from the JOINTS,
that she had at different times begged
the county attorney to prosecute the
saloon men, had asked to be allowed to
swear to complaint, but the plaintiff
refused to take any action. For these
and other reasons she believed that her
information was correct. Moses Wright
OF Moore township, testified that Mr..
Lane had stated to him that Mr.. Griffin
was receiving money from the saloons.
Mr.. Lane denied having made the state.
ment. Mrs. Nation did not deny hav-
ing charged the county attorney Cwith
receiving bride but claimed justifca-
tion and notwithstanding the efforts of
the plaintiffs attorneys she insisted
that she still believes her charges to be
true. Judge Gillett in his instructions
to the jury directed them to find YER
] dict against the defendant but left 1t
with them to fix the amount of damag-
es. The plaintiff was represented by
A. L. Noble, E. Sample, A. l.. Herr, J.
N. TIncher and the county attorney
himself. The defendants attorneys
were G. M. Martin and David Nation.
In this connection it might be said that
a handsome fee makes strange bedfel-
lows even among the legal fraternity.
The jury was composed of the follow
ing persons:
