 Anthony, Kan, Jan 31.-Twelve women of the W. c. T. U., armed with pickaxes, hatchets and hammers, yes terday raided and completely demol- ished four barrooms, known as joints In the early hours of the morning, before many citizens had reached their places of business, twelve members of the local branch of the w.. c. T. U. marched quietly down the principal street of the town. They carried a miscellaneous collection of axes, hatchets, etc. Several of the women were accompanied by their hus- bands, who, however, took no part in the proceedings and acted only as q sort of bodyguard.
 The rear of a drug store was the first point of attack. Entrance was effected through a back door. The place contained costly bar fixtures and q stock of liquors. The fixtures and cash register were demolished, but the bulk of the liquor was stored out of sight and escaped destruction.
 Half a block further on the second scene of the crusade was enacted. The door was locked. but entrance was quickly made with an axe. While part of the women gave their attention to the door, others reduced the plate glass front to ruin Back of the bar was q heavy plate mirror. This as we'll as everything else in sight, was destroyed. The proprietor of the place entered when the smashing process was at it's height. He attempted to stop it and came into collision with the husband bodyguard. X blow on the head with a beer bottle quickly put him out of action.
 Two more joints were visited in quick succession. Their 1urnlture was demolished and the stocks of ,i- Quor were emptied into the gutters. .
 After the work of demolition was completed the crusaders held q prayer meeting on the sidewalk and Nearer My God to Thee" was sung with great fervor.
 Mrs Sheriff of Danville, a village near by. was the leader in yesterdays raid. She came to Anthony last night, quietly organized the local temperance women and planned the crusade. Sev eral members of the band were mere school girls, who. however, took a leading part in the work.
 Topeka, kan, Jan 51.-MrS Carrle Nation yesterday organized band of forty-six women to follow her leader ship and assist in wiping out joints The band was organized at mass meeting for women called by Mrs Ma ton and presided over by her in the Presbyterian church. Every seat in the house was occupied. After short talk Mrs Nation called for volunteers and forty-six women at once signed a paper which pledged them to follow Mrs Nation wherever she may lead and do her bidding. Mrs Nation announced that they will proceed regardless of the W. c. T.. U.. but will give warning before resorting to violence.
