So They Marched Past the Guards and

Neenah, Wis, Feb. 21.-The nine
teen men who were held in smallpox
quarantine in the hotel of Butler &
Mccarthy marched out past their
guards at $50 p. III. and went to the
mayors office where they stated that
they were starving and demanded food.
The trouble arises over the prOpretors
of the hotel making formal request for
a guarantee of expenses in maintain
ing the nineteen people who are being
held in their hotel against their will
and who refuse to pay their board
while kept in quarantine.
Mayor Kalfahs refused this guaran-
tee, claiming that the city is in no way
responsible for the debts of the quar-
antined persons. When the mayor re-
fused to guarantee the payment of the
board bill of the persons quarantined
in the hotel the proprietors locked uE
their dining room and all their supplies
and stood guard over them with
reVolverS. The men refused to
pay board while detained against their
wills and the proprietors refused to
feed them.

HER ooNTEMrTy OF COURT.
Mrs. Nation Openly SHOWS 1t Calls the
Judge "Your Dishonor."

Topeka. Kan. Feb. 81. = Judge
Hazen, of the district court, yester-
day continued the case of Mrs Carrie
Nation, charged with smashing Muir
phys Joint until the April term of
court. The cases against Eva Hardin,
Mrs. Rose Crist, Miss Madeline South
ard. Mrs. c. c. Chadwick. and C. r.
Mcdowell were also continued. Mrs.
Nation arose several times to address
the court, each time calling the judge
Your Dishonor." When asked ii she
were ready for trial she said: Your
Dishonor. am incapable of trying my
case this afternoon, as l have been
poisoned by cigarette smoke in the
county Jail. / want to see how the
other cases are tried any way.
Judge Hazen looked at the joint
smasher in a helpless sort of way and
then recognized Captain J. G. Waters,
one of the attorneys for the defense.
Captain Waters said:f II find that
none of these cases have been placed
upon the trial docket. There is no
necessity for this swift vengeance.
This is a fair demand that the case be
continued"
sIt is the province of the court to
see that all have a fair trial. said
Judge Hazeu. 1T is not proper to
railroad cases through. | see that If
the cases go over until the April term

point of law now. l shall call the case
against Stark on Monday morning"
BALI. Stark is a young clerk who
accompanied the crusaders. and as
sisted in the raid Sunday. Stark's law
yer requested that his clients case also
go over for this term. Il would prefer
to try a man on this charge rather
than woman" said Judge HaZen.
You may call a special venire if you
wish. and l think il will be necessary.
/ expect to try only this one case"
Then Mrs. Nation again insulted the
Judge. "Your Dishonor. please, / think
Il would be better to defer the decision
as long as possible
.'No. think it will be better to set
tie ii at once and let the people know
what the law is" said Judge Hazen.
I'VE know the law" said Mrs. Ma
tfon.
1T seems that some do not" replied
Judge Hazen.
Some: some judges do not know the
law retorted Mrs. Nation.
Mrs. Nation was returned to jail.

Affiict Woman Who Is Slowly Turning

Frankfort, Ind, Feb. 21.-Mrs.
Mary Black, wife of Josiah Black, a
leading real estate and insurance man,
Is suffering from a complication of an
illness termed Addison's disease and
ossification. While she has been af-
fiicted two years the details We're not
made public until now. Physicians
admit that the affiiction is beyond the
power of any known remedy and that
the patient must die. At the begin
ming of Mrs. Blacks afflictiOn she
weighed fully 200 pounds, but now she
weighs less than ninety pounds.
Her flesh has gradually hardened,
the joints stiffened and the functions
of the internal organs weakened so
that she is entirely helpless. The face,
except as to color, is no more ex-
pressive than though chiseled out of
stone and the flesh of the entire body
Is rapidly taking on the same texture.
The color of the skin has changed to
that of copperas. Medical men say
history records few similar cases.

Court Is Against. the Smasher.
Mrs. Nations attorneys presented a
motion in the district court to quash
the Indictment against his client on the
ground that the building injured har-
bored a nuisance and that his Client
had a right to abate it. In denying
the motion Judge d. NJ. Dale ruled
yesterday that it makes no difference
whether the property destroyed is used
for a saloon, bank or a grocery store.
Under this ruling the only point at is
sue is whether the accused broke the
glass windows as alleged in the COM
plant. The complaint in one case is
made by the owner of the building
who was not the proprietor of the sa-
loon.
