CLEANED THE TOWN OF
JOINTS In TWO hours
Holton, Kansas, Citizens Follow
Mrs. Nations Example De-
molishing Blind Tigers.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 9.-Holton.
Kas., was purgrd of it's j'ints to-
day. The purging process was ac-
con,plished by a band of at leass
1000 persons, who took the law
into their own hands and attacked
the joints of the city. Three joints
were put out of business, and Hol-
ton is a dry town for the first time
insifteen years. The citizens of
Holton held a meeting last night
and decided that these places must
be closed at once. This AFTERNOON
at 3 o'clock they met at the Meth
odist church and after some pre-
liminary exercises, they started
out to do their work. There were
about 300 people at the church,
but it soon became known what
was going Oh and soon the main
street uf the city was crowded with
eager people anxious to see the
work accomplished. There were a
number of officers in the crowd,
and they led the way to the first
joint, which has been kept for
years by woman named Hicks.
The crowd broke down the doors
and took out all tue liquor, empty
ing it into the street. They then
broke up all the fixtures in the
true Nation style, not leaying a
whole thing that could be used in
the business. The proprietress
tried to leave, but the crowd re-
fused to let her. When the domoli-
tion of this place was completed
the crowd started to do the same
with the other joints, nine imam
ber. The proprietors Of these
plachs, by-working hard, managed
to turn out all their liquor by the
time the crowd reached their places
of business, and nearly had: all the
furniture moved out. They pleaded
earnestly to be allowed TO keep the
fixtures and promised on their
oaths never again to sell drop of
liquor in Holton. One of the JOINT
lists named Anderson, got down on
his kLees and supplicated the
crowd not to destroy his fixtures,
as it would ruin him financially,
and he promised to have them out
of town in an hour. The citizens
decided to give the remaining
joints a few hours in. which to
leave the city.
i: There was not a semblance Of
lawlessness at any time during the
progress of the smashing. Law.
yers, newspaper men and business
men. helped to swell the crowd,
which was composed Of some of
the best people Of Holton.
After the smashing had been
completed. the crowd met at the
Methodist church and had a
Thanksgiving service over the sue
cessful result of their work.
Tonight $ meeting was held in
Holton and vigilance committee
was ordered to see that a joint
should never again have chance
to do business there. The mem
bers of the committee say the first
man appearing with joint will
be stripped and banished. They
accomplished in two hours what
the officers have not done in two
years.

Quite contrary to the general
custom, there was fight on third
reading bills yesterday. The light
against bill is always made on
its second reading, and third
reading is regarded las merely
formal and to renew fight on 1t
at that time is accepted as useless.
Three third reading bills were
put under fire yesterday and one
of them was killed.
Mr.. Kinard moved to recommit
Mr.. Sanders bill to fix the amount
to be recovered on a note, mortgage
or other obligation which has been
altered. The motion failed, then
passed and was sent to the senate.
There was a long fight over, Mr..
". L. Parker's third reading bill
to abolish license fees for buying
seed cotton in Berkeley. The bill
was recommitted on motion of Mr..
Tatum. This kills the bill.
Mr.. Gunter moved to recommit
the bill to repeal the law forbid
ding public officials to use free
passes. He was sure that tho house
had passed it misunderstanding
the question.
Mr.. Ashley opposed the motion.
This is the third tiIae such bill
has come before the legislature
and he had always voted for it.
