WI Bain, and the music.
NY Prominent among these
/ unwilling seekers Of justice were some
seven or eight booze distributors who
made serious mistake when they
thought the slight inaction of the po-
lice last week was scheduled to be a
permanent state of affairs.
Mon Bliven's little joint on lower
Kansas avenue was raided at the in
stigatiOn of a farmer who claimed he
had been drugged and relieved of $3.50
worth of legal tender. F. Webb and
ChaS. White were taken with Mr.. Bliven
as accomphces, and some liquors con-
cealed IN hole IN the floor We're also
added to Chief Stahl's collection of
fancy drinks Hutch" Cave and his
vice president, Clarence Woods. were
plucked from the tree of Wickedness,
and a second call at Caves a few hours
later resulted in the .sgrabbance" of
Monsieur Carr Link who had resumed
the business on hand Mr.. Caves little
cave located at 6O7 North Kansas ave-
nue. has been unmolested for nearly a
month prior to this pair of fell swoops.
VIM. Smart was not sufficiently like
his name to escape a call His cold keg
and minor fixtures were also gathered
in with a lavish hand.
Mr.. Heinrich Schwartz was nipped in
the bud Sunday morning and again
later in the day, charged on the second
call with violating certain city or
dinance numbered 962, or at least q por-
ton thereof known to legal folks as
section 6S, which alleges that it shall
be deemed unlawful to keep open a jag
house on the Sabbath day. All these
parties entered a plea. of not guilty"
when the roll was called this morning,
and the court proceeded to attend few
minor affairs.
Most notable among said minor cases
was that against Messrs Alfred Coch-
ran and Charles Meloish, of Silver Lake
who came to North Topeka to spend
Sunday and incidentally destroy some of
the LIQUID disturbance for which North
Topeka is famous After partially
Quenching their great thirst they called
at COlvins livery stable and engaged
in a controversy with one Archer who
was acting teller of the establishment.
Mr. Archer waited patiently until the
farmers had called him bad names and
struck him a few times, and then drew
knives and threatened to engrave their
monograms on his person. Then this
meek long suffering stable man pro-
ceeded to 'clean them up in style"
Among other things he succeeded in do
ing was a beautiful fresco design, a la
Michael Angelo, which represented an
approaching thunder storm This work
of art was painted on the visionary
organs of Mr.. Meloish- Not satisfied
with this outrage on the poor Victims
he called a couple of policemen who ar
rested the visitors after a hard chase.
Both pleaded guilty this morning and
got an assessment of SO per. They said
they got their dream of power in Ben
jamin Jordans junk shop.
A subject of his divine czarness, Mich
olas of the double buzzard didn't know
how to plead guilty to being drunk be-
cause he couldn't "sprechen Inglis" but
Mr.. Urmy came to his rescue with a
torrent of Dutch which had a krautish
flavor and after a brief exchange of
unspeakable with Mr. o. Eakes, as he
gave his name, announced to the court
that he was guilty He then once more
made use of his schoolbook sDeutsch'' to
inform Mr. Eakes that the price of ad-
mission was $780,
Rev Robt. Martin, an ancient col
ored minister of the bottoms" was
arrested Sunday for disturbing the
peace on complaint of his neighbors
They declare that he spoke meanly Of
the martyr president, saying that he
was glad of his death, and that he had
no use for our government, preferring
a king. As the complaining witnesses
failed to appear, his case was contin-
ued to Tuesday morning. Although
Martin is so old as to be almost ire
sponsible for his talk, he has no SYM
pathy from his flock
Mr.. and Mrs. W. s. Walker live at 62S
Tyler street. For a neighbor they have
Mrs Ella Burns, who rents from the
