Story Comes From Fort Scott of
Grand Jury Bribery.
Charged That So, 900 Has Been
Collected
FROM UNDERWORLD.
Lawyer Said to Have Fixed the
"DeaI" Securely.
No Names Are Given But Case
Looks Suspicious.

Fort Scott, Jan. "a sensational
grand jury scandal story is being whis-
pered around among the sporting peo-
pie, who are said to feel assured that
they have blocked any action against
them by the grand jury. The substance
of the charge is that a certain lawyer
or certain lawyers have collected $1,000
from the sporting people and saloon
keepers to guarantee them protection
from grand jury indictments. The
names of five members of the original
grand jury are mentioned in connection
with the deal.
The story comes this way: A certain
sporting man is said to have received
a letter from an attorney calling him
into a conference or agreement with
the other sporting people relative to
the grand jury matter. He is SAID 10
have gone to an authority and inquired
if it was so that the grand jury had
been or could be fixed" and to have
Thereupon, it is said, he advanced his
proportion of the 81, 900 assessment and
went away feeling secure. It is said
that each man who went into the
agreement was given a receipt for lie
gall services to February l, and that
vulnerable ones who hesitated to put
up were assured they would be indicted
if they did not.
The fact is, the air has been full of
whisperings about an attempt to fix
the grand jury, for the past ten days or
two weeks. 1t is declared that certain
members of the grand jury have been
in town more frequently than before
they were drawn on the jury and that
they have been seen in suspicious COM
pany. It is also reported that a GER
tain gambler claims to have played
poker with one member all night Sat

Homes on the Holland Canals.

Holland owes much of it's unique
charm and the Dutch race many of it's
distinctive qualities to the gaily paint
ed and happily peopled homes that float
serenely through the landscapes of the
Netherlands. Nearly every Dutch
"tjalk," or barge, is not only a cou-
veyance for merchandise, but also it's
owners dwelling place; not merely a
temporary habitation a ea-going
ship is to her captain and crcvss but an
abiding home. The raised poop, upon
which the owner stands grasping the
tiller and watching the sail or directing
the labors of his family at the tow-rope
is the roof of the house. 1t is also the
garden by virtue of its row of pots con-
tanning Towering plants and bulbs. Here
when the days voyage is ended and the
house moored for the night, the good
man smokes his biggest pipe and drinks
his schnapps; the women sit and sew;
the children, safely inclosed by the
poop-rail and little toy gate, play
their stolid games. and the canary and
the siskin from their gilded cages pour
forth rival Observation-Disclosures

New Orleans Races.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 9.-The Jack

worth 81, 500 to the winner, was the fea-
ture. Petit Maitre was favorite in the
betting at to 5, while Nitrate was a
strong second choice at 16 to 5. Nitrate,

limit most of the way lasted long
enough to stall off w. B. Gates and

dropped out of it. Amarigar was fam

BRICK FACTORY OPENS.
Clay Center Industry That Will Bene-
fit the Town.

Clay Center, Kas., Jan. 9.-Among the
substantial business Industries which
Clay Center has recently secured is
brick factory, chartered with paid-up
capital of $4,000. The president is
Lewis Kreeck, and VIM. Docking is
secretary and treasurer. The stock
holders are wealthy citizens. The fac
tory was built by home capital and has
a capacity of turning out 100000 brick
a week. 1t is equipped with the latest
brick-making machinery. The company
owns lands on which there is an unlim-
tied supply of sha1e which makes
beautiful white brick for building pur-
poses. There is also blue shale from
which vitrified brick will be made, and
in addition to these there is a 25-foot
stratum of red clay which can be utilized
for building purposes. The facilities
for handling the brick and raw material
are good. the plant being located on
both the Union Pacific and Rock Island
roads. The dry kiln system is used,
and the plant will be open for business
today 1t will be of vast benefit to
Clay Center as well as the surrounding
towns. as heretofore brick have been
shipped in largely from the south part
of the state.
