Topeka, Kan, Feb. l9.-Mrs. Nation
Is now in the county Jail as a result Of
her trial on a peace warrant before
was sworn to by the Moeser Cold Stor-
age company, whose plant Mrs. Nation
entered Sunday morning.
Mrs. Nation acted as her own attor-
ney in the trial. Judge Hazen placed
her under $4,000 bond 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 60 to Jail. She is now
detained in the hospital room Of the
county Jail, where she will probably re-
main 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 Nc
Cabe said he would take the matter un-
der advisement until Thursday morn
ing.
II is not likely that Mrs. Nation will
be able to give bond, because she de-
elares that she will resume her smash
ing crusade against the Joints" imme-
diately 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 last night placed Cal
Mcdonald Mrs Rose Crist and Miss
Madeline Southard under peace bonds
McDonalds bond is 81 1000; the others
are $500 each. The Judge delivered a
scathing address to the three Nation
Iieutenants. He expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Nation is insane and said
1hose persons who encourage her meth
ods Of reform ought to be ashamed Of
themselves.
During the hearing before Judge
Hazen Mrs. Nation opened fire with all
manner OF questions. Objections were
offered by the county authorities, most
OF which were sustained. Other wit
nesses followed in a like manner, and
she kept up hot fusillade of ques
tions. wanting to know how many
hatchets were used in breaking in:
what do you keep in your place; Is 1t
not fact that you keep all kinds Of
hell broth" etc. Mrs. Nation could not
understand the sustaining Of the many
objections, and said she did not think
the judge was fair with her
Mrs. Nation received telegram yes
terday afternoon from theatrical
manager offering her $500 week to
take part in temperance play. She
answered: "Not yet while got some
sense"
Mrs. Nation put in busy Sun
day in Topeka, and as result the cap-
tai city experienced more genuine ex-
-itement than can be remembered by the
ldest inhabitant. The crusader liter
''v crammed the day with thrilling
les. She succeeded in having the
Its Of notorious joint smashed,
into a cold storage plant in
Of liquor, ruined the mirrors on
4 bars found stored in livery
- =, addressed large mass meeting OF
men and women and was arrested four
times. The last time that the law laid
its hands upon her was when Mrs. Ma
tion emerged from the church where
the mass meeting had been held. In
the various raids, which were followed
out with military precision, Mrs. Ma
tion was obeyed as implicitly as any
commanding general.
