the outgrowth of the warren-E Elliott
controversy over the position of weigh
master.
In case the committee reports to the
lodge that Mr. Kistler is found guilty of
the charges made against him, counsel
on both sides will present the arguments
of their respective sides to the members
of the camp and after a hearing of all
the evidence, the members of the camp
will vote upon the penalty to be ad-
ministered.
Kistler were made by w. B. Warren,
who belongs to the same A 0. U. w.
camp as kiStler, and who was in the
race for the appointment of city weigh
master in North Topeka this summer.
1t is charged that Kistler violated his
obligations to a fellow lodge member
in acting as an accomplish in plot to
down the candidate of the Grand Army
cf the Republic for the place of weigh
master.
w B. Warren, an old man, feeble and
decrepit, who keeps a chilli house at 113
West Norris street, has long been an
applicant for city position This year
when the place of weighmaster was
made vacant and an appointment was

early He secured the endorsement of
the G. A r., being an old soldier himself
and presented a petition of over four
hundred names of citizens of North
Topeka asking that Mayor Hughes ap-
point him to the place. but J. r. Elliott
was appointed.

manner impair his chances of appoint

chill house on West Norris street He
lives in the house with his wife and
daughter He is a member in good
standing in the A o. U. w and as such
would not be permitted to engage in a
liquor business.
1t is charged that to make the
chances of success greater a member of
Warren's lodge was selected to get evil
dence against him. On August 81, VIII
liam Kistler entered Warren's place
with a. man giving the name of David
Gordon who claimed to be Santa Fe
shop man suffering from an injury to
his leg. He said something about being
in a hospital and getting out. Kistler
explained that they wanted some beer;
that Gordon thought it would be bene-
fetal to him They also ordered chilli.
Warren went to the door and made
signs to a guard standing outside a
joint nearby for two bottles of beer,
and when it was brought to the house,
paid for it with the money the men
laid ON the table
The next forenoon they came into the
house and the action of the previous
day was repeated. At each time the
men drank one of the bottles of beer
and carried the other away. Again on
the afternoon of August %, Gordon
came back alone and asked for single
bottle of beer The guard from the
joint brought it over - on the previous
occasions. Gordon took the fifth bottle
away with him without opening it.
