THE PiccERs TRAPPED.
Mayor Olson and tho Village Council
Have Flsnked tho Blind pig In
trenchmentS and Bat
tie Is In Progress.

The village administration has finally begun
what appears to be real effort to prosecute
| the illegal saloOn-keepers OF the village A
young man named Harter has been employed
| as q detective and has done some excellent
work during the past. two or three weeks
| Eight arrests were made last Friday and four
| OF the cases have been tried. The TRIBUNE
has contended right along that all that was
| necessary to convict blind-pigger was to
give fair jury scrap of real evidence and
the .plgger would receive his just deserts.
| Those convicted to date are the following:
Mr.. Scott, OF Crandalls place, $50 and costs:
Martin Kievjer, of Klevjer's old saloon, $50 or
80 days in jail: Fred Magnuson, of Kevjer's old
saloon, SlOO or go days in jail; S. Stabler OF
| Barnstad's old saloon, Jury still out
Two cases are set for hearing today and
Village Attorney Geo. Muller says that there
Will be cases up every day Of this week. We
understand that the convicted ID the last three
cases have appealed to the district court
There is, however, no reason to believe that
! the district court will change the result, al
though it is plain that the attorneys for the
| blind-piggers are reserving their fire for the
supreme attempt to clear their clients there
But they will find that the friends Of the blind
piggers are us scarce in the county as they
are in the village, and if the jury gets any kind
OF a show full justice win be meted out.
The TRIBUNE rejoices that the arrogant
| whiskey gang is receiving some punishment
and hopes that the Mayor will push his ad-
| vantage to the utmost. We have severely
| criticised the inaction Of the: administra-
tion during the past eight months, and are
quite sure thatthe proddtng OF the TRIBUNE
has had good effect. There are three months
yet remaining before u new administration
is to be chosen and there will be ample time
to judge of the results and records before
that time elapses. The TRIBUNE will try to
give full credit for all good work done.

SUIT AGAINST ORDER OF
CHOSEN FRIENDS.
REPRESENTED IN MONTANA
Attorney General Asks That Re
ceiver Be Appointed for
the Association.
REPRESENTED IN MONTANA

Indianapolis, Dec. 13-The Sentinel
this morning says that Attorney Gen
eral Taylor, on behalf of the state Of
Indiana, will file a suit in the superior
court of Marion county this, Friday,
morning, asking for the appointment
of a receiver for the Order of Chosen
Friends, n Of the largest ~fraternal
insurance associations in the United
States.
Filing of the suit will affect 80
states of the union, as the association
has been authorized to do business in
that number. It has councils in Min
nesota and two in Montana.
In the application for a receiver
ship, which is a voluminous document,
the fact is set out that the association
is i~nsolvent and unable to meet the
death claims now outstanding. These
claims aggregate about $500, 900.
The order was one of the first in the
country to make women eligible to
full membership and to entitle them
to assurance and official positions in
the councils. This is one of the fea-
lures, it is announced, that has been
largely the cause of it's rapid growth.
