CARREE NATION
NOW IN IN JAIL
Kansas Crusader Refused to
Give Bonds to Keep the
Peace

Topeka. Kan, Feb. 19-Mrs. Nation
Is now in the county jail as a result of
her trial on q peace warrant before
Judge Hazen yesterday. The warrant
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 $1,000 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 go 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 Me-
Cabe said he would take the matter un-
der advisement until Thursday morn
ing.
II is not likely that Mrs Nation viii
be able TO give bond because she de-
clares that she will resume her smash
ing crusade against the 'ioints" 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.
McDonald's bond is 81 600; the others
are $500 each. The judge delivered a
scathing address to the three Nation
lieutenants He expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Nation is insane. and said
those 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 a hot fusillade Of ques
