Story Of Bradford.
PRICE BAKING POWDER CO.,
CHICAGO.

The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal thus relates a
story OF the time when Judge S. r.
Bradford, late commissioner at Ard
more, was attorney general of Kan
sas: "The county attorney was maxi
ing an honest effort to close the joints
in Kansas City, Kan, but couldn't do
It and so notified Bradford The at.
torney general decided that he would
give the jointists of that place a
whirl himself He went down there
and took charge of the prosecution in
a number of liquor cases then up for
trial. He offered direct testimony
showing the sale of liquor, but the
jury invariably brought in verdict
of mot guilty" He couldn't under
stand it, One day he asked a juror
the why of it.
Because we cannot believe the
Witnesses" said the juror.
That evening Bradford went into a
barber shop on one of the side streets
to have his hair cut While the bar
ber was working on him he noticed
a string of men continually filing
through the barber shop into a back
room. His suspicious were aroused.
After he got out OF the chair he fol-
lowed the men into the back room.
There he found a joint in full opera
tion and several men lined up at the
bar drinking He saw visions of CON
viction in one case at least. He
stepped up and invited the whole out
fit to have something. One called
for whisky another for beer and an
other for more whisky and so on.
Bradford paid the bill and fingered
around long enough TO get the names
of the jointists and the men who
drank. He then went to the court
house and had a warrant issued for
the jointist. The sheriff brought the
jointist in the next morning. The
jointist demanded a speedy trial.
Bradford rounded up his witnesses
and the case was tried that afternoon.
The attorney general went on the
stand himself and testified to buying
whiskey and beer for several parties.
The case was finally submitted TO the
jury. 1t went out and within five
minutes filed back with a verdict OF
mot guilty" Bradford picked up his
grip and left town.

Two Men Have a Difficulty Last
Night.
There was a ripple of excite p
ment about dark last night on
East Main street, occasioned by
the discharge of a shotgun. AS a
result, Noble Stone, who conducts
saloon in that part of town, was
arrested by the police and Jake
Lewis is in hiding. The story as
told by Stone is that he and Lewis
had some hot words in the fore
noon; that he had been absent
from his business about five hours;
that when he returned and stepped
into the door. Lewis struck him
twice. Stone grabbed his pistol
behind the bar and Lewis passed
out at the door aud seized a shot
gun. The gun was discharged
and Lewis ran off. Stone says
Lewis shot at him; others are of
the opinion that tha gun was ac-
cidentally discharged. Anyway
the matter is not serious one.
