THE KIOWA SALOONS
Mrs. Carrie Nation, of this
City, Invaded Six of
Them last Thurs
day. Damage
Estimated
$3.50.

The peace. tranquility and prosperity
of the Klowa "Soda Fountains" were
violently disturbed last Thursday and.
as usual in such cases, excitement ran
high several hours. Mrs. Carrie Ma.
ton, of this city, President of the w.
G. I. U. of the county became convinc.
ed last Thursday that it was her duty
to go to Kiowa and smash up" the ga.
looms, and acting on that CONVICTION
she hitched up and drove thither with
out breathing word to anybody.
She went into the saloons armed
with brick bats and was ably reinforc.
ed after she gained entrance, by bill
lard balls, cues, ETC., etc. Mrs. Nation
wasn't at all particular in choosing her
weapons. Anything that was capable
OF doing the smashing act IN reach
ing distance was called into service.
The most damage was done in Bill
Lewis place, where fine large mirror
was ruined besides considerable liquor
destroyed and bottles broken. The
other places visited were Frank Mel
sons, Al Snodderly's, John Dobson's
and two others. In every case Mrs
Nation was careful to hurl a missile
through the large windows of the
buildings.
After Mrs. Nation did all she could
do, she asked the city authorities to
place her under arrest but after some
consideration they took no action and
she returned home, and up to this time
nothing official has been done.
Asked for her reason for this bold
act, Mrs. Nation said that she deemed
it her duty before God and humanity
She says 1t is Impossible to induce the
officers of the law to perform their
sworn duty and the work remained fol-
her to do. She justifes her act.

MATRIMONIAL.

WILLIAMS-KELLEY- Ernest H.
Williams quietly departed for Lips
comb. Texas, on Monday and today he
will claim the hand of Miss Gertrude
l. Kelley.
There are none who deserve success
in greater degree than this highly es-
teemed couple. The groom was brought
up IN this city and has been in the en-
ployment of our business men for many
years, and all by whom he has been EN-.
ployed have nothing but words of com.
mendatIon for him. He is at present head
clerk with Glasier & Co. and is entitled
to large share of the credit for the
very great success of that firm. If re.
liability, integrity, courtesy and indus.
try make man prosperous, MIR. Will
liams will reach the highest summit.
The bride is not so well known In
Medicine Lodge, although she has re.
sided here short time and has made
many warm friends. She is a grand.
daughter to Mrs. G. G. Talliaferro and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Kelley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams will return
from their wedding trip next week and
will reside in Mrs. W. II. Sparks house
on Walnut street.
They will receive the hearty congrat.
ulatlons of a host of friends with whom
the INDEX joins.

A PECULIAR SUIT.
international Trust Company Sues Commits.
sioners and Clerks of Barber County.

On Saturday The International
Trust Company. of Boston, filed suit in
the federal court at Wichita, against
Commissioners III. C. Walker. Geo.
Nay, Hugh Rankin, and Ex-Commis
sloners j. A. Murray and Jas. StTaD-
athan, and County Clerk J. E. Holmes,
and Ex-County Clerk r. D. Gaddie.
The suit is brought to recover default
ed interest since 1895 on the funding
bonds of 1881 and 1884, most of which
were fraudulent but now in the hands
of innocent purchasers. The petition
prays for judgement against the par
ties above named in the following
amounts, the plaintiff alleging these
sums as liabilities and special damages
against the defendants on account of
breach of official duty:
IL. G. Walker. ............ 49,. So $40.
Hugh Rankin. q $40
Geo. n ay.. i ,440.
James Stranathan. 49,. ....3, $50
r. ID. Gaddie. LILO
). h. Holmes. ............... ...3, 800.
1t seems that j. w. Wyer and n. G.
Roulev, who were also Commissioners
since 1895 were not iucluded-probably
| an oversight.
The suit itself is not a matter of sur
prise but the manner in which it is
| brought IS peculiar. The company
seeks to recover from individuals who,
as Off clals, failed to pay the interest
but IL is not likely that the movement
will be successful. Of course, If the
suit should win the individuals could
easily recover from the county.
The International is one of the few
who will not compromise the claims 1t
holds against the county. When the
commissioners first talked compromise
they ceased to pay interest on these OBJ
legations and this company has ever
since stubbornly held out in the face of
the fact that the county's financial ina.
bility to pay was plain. The Interna-
tional company is under moral obliga.
ton to compromise before any others
tor the reason that many of the bonds
it holds were fraudulently issued and
the county has never received anything
| in return.
Nobody seems to be alarmed over
the suit.A suit was expected but no one
suspected tina: it would be brought in
this way. l.. A. Bigger will be here to
day to discuss the matter and some &C
ton will no doubt be taken. The l
L. G. may yet conclude that half loaf
Is better than nothing at all.

Mrs. Nations escapade has gotten
our county attorney between his Satan
ic majesty and the briny waters of the
deep blue sea. She says she can pro-
duce witnesses who will swear that the

county attorney denies it amidst volu.
mlnous profanity. If Samuel had
stopped there 1t would not have been so
bad. but he went on to say that be
would prosecute her for libel if she
were woman of sane mind. Now we
submit that Samuel's "if'' does not
