Taxpayers League Makes Cru

Causes Mayor GOOdlander to
Close Gambling Joints.
CITY WILL FEEL LOSS.
Each Place Paid $50 Monthly

The Spasm of Virtue Caused by
Small Sum Paid.
CITY WILL FEEL LOSS.

Fort Scott. March 23.-There will be
no more gambling in Fort Scott
Places which have been running wide
open for years will have to close at
once.
Mayor Goodlander last evening issued
orders to Chief of Police Conway to
close all of the gambling halls in the
city and arrest all violators of the Cub
bison gambling law. The edict went in
to effect last night. The order is a re-
suit of a conference had with the Tax
Payers league which waited upon the
executive officer of city affairs yester-
day. For some days much complaint
has been made about gamblers being
charged the small amount of $25 per
month for Conducting the gambling
places and the city officers have been
severely censured for the small for
FIXTURES accepted by the police and Tim
Noonan agitated the payment of $3.50
per month.
The gambling business has received
airing in Fort Scott for some weeks
and indirect charges have been made
against the city officials that there was
rake-off some where. The manner in
which this money was paid was that
the gamblers would pay the police Off
GERS $50 each month and the clerk of
the city court would enter it upon the
records as a deposit for. appearance of
defendant on verbal charge of va
grancy by the policeman. OF course
there would be no appearance and the
amount would be turned into the city
treasury. This custom has been in
vogue in police circles for years, but re-
Gently Clerk Adams notified the mar
shall that no more money would be ac-
cepted from offenders in the nature of
a deposit, but on the contrary they
would have to take their natural run
and appear before the court, when their
bond would be fixed and a hearing ar
ranged, thereby breaking up a custom
long practiced in Fort Scott.

MONEY FOR CROSS DEPosIToRs
Judge Decides That They Are Entitled
to Sunny Slope Sale Proceeds.

Wichita, March 23-Judge Williams
in the federal court here Thursday af-
ternoon decided that the $52,O 600 pro-
ceeds of the sale of the Cross Sunny
Slope farm involved in failure of the
First National bank of Emporia in 1898
should be prorated among local deposit
Crs of the bank.
William Martindale, of Emporia, vice
president of the bank attempted to di-
vert this money to the First National
bank, of New York, the Fourth Ma
tional bank, of st. Louis and Fred Har-
vey, of Kansas City, as special credit
ors through bill of sale made in July,
1893. Receiver Albaugh discovered a
prior bill of sale to the same property,
made in March, 1898, in favor of Viii
liam Martinda1e, to protect the bank
against the Indebtedness of c. S. Cross.
Judge Williams held that the title
passed with the first bill of sale, and
that the local depositors were entitled
to the benefit of the Cross property.

Ponca City has made a sale of an entire

to ship out an entire train load to one
person.
According to the report from Ponca

WAR GOES ON.
Rebellion in Colombia Still in Robust
Health.


New York, March 23.-The reports of
the Colombian government to the eff
feet that the rebellion has been crushed
are contradicted by cable and mail ad-
vices received in this city by DR.. A.
Diaz Guerra, which tell of insurgent
victories at several places. The serious
state Of affairs in Colombia is further
demonstrated by the order sent out by
the minister of war al Bogota to all re-
serve army officers to report immedi-
ately for duty. One of these, General
Manuel Narvaez has just arrived here
from London on the steamer Kaiserin
Marie Theresa. He is the minister of
Colombia to London. DR. Guerra's ad-
vice is to the effect that the revolution
lists have defeated the government
forces in battle at Rio Hache, Sierro
Libre and Villa Vinsensia. In the fight
at the last named place 13 government
officers were captured The rebels are
still sanguine of eventual success and
the war will not end before June
