HER TRIAL.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1S-Mrs Ma
ton is now in the county Jail, as re-
suit of her trial on peace warrant
before Judge Hazen to-day. The war
rant was sworn to by the Moeser Cold
Storage Company, whose plant Mrs.
Nation entered yesterday morning.
Mrs. Nation acted as her own attorney
in the trial. Judge IHazen placed her
under $4,000 bail to keep the peace and
ordered her to appear before him at
the next term of court.
Mrs. Nation refused to give the bond
and said she would go to jail. She is
now detained in the hospital room of
the county Jail, where she will prob
ably remain for some time.
In the city court arguments were
given in the case brought against Mrs.
Nation by the proprietors of the
wrecked Senate saloon.
Judge McCabe said he would take
the matter under advisement until
Thursday morning
1t is not likely that Mrs. Nation will
be able to give bond, as she declares
that she will resume her smashing cru
SADIE against the joints Immediately
upon her release. Her friends have
been advised that Judge Hazen will
make her release conditional upon the
promise that she be sent to her home
at Medicine Lodge. Judge Hazen to-
night placed Cal. Mcdonald, Mrs. Ross
Crist and Miss Madeline Southland I'M
der peace bonds. McDonald's bond is
$1,000, and the others are $500 each.
The judge delivered a scathing ad-
dress to the three Nation lieutenants.
He expressed the opinion that Mrs.
Nation is insane and said those per-
sons who encourage her methods of
reform ought to be ashamed of them
selves.
Reports that Mrs. Nation and her
company of home defenders" would
to-day continue their campaign against
Joints" proved premature, and this
morning it was announced that after
a conference with her comrades, Mrs.
Nation had decided to remain inactive
Tor brief period. A close watch was
placed on all places suspected of vio-
lating the prohibition law, and the
home defenders" declared they will
move on the slightest sign of liquor
selling.
Mrs. Nation issued the following
statement to-day:

Mrs. Nation by the proprietors of the
Joint at 476 Kansas avenue. wrecked

the prosecution, while Attorney Du-

tables were piled high with law books.

many Biblical quotations. The argu-
ment was commenced by the defense,
In speaking of the first case as paraI-
lei to Mrs. Nations smashing, counsel
said:
1t is found in the Bible in the Tenn
pie. We find by Matthew that Christ
entered the Temple and abolished that
nuisance. He then took up the law
in the case. citing a New HAMPSHIRE
statute which says that the private
party abating nuisance does not have

other party.
