opportunity to gather in few more
witnesses for his anti-gambling crusade
from among the people concerned in a
civil suit in the Shawnee county district
court in which an answer was filed yes
terday afternoon. The suit was brought
by the First National bank of Topeka

about $500. Party defendants in the suit
are c. E. Beeks of Chanute and c.. r..
Perkins of Topeka.
The checks in question were given by
Beeks to Perkins. were drawn upon the
Chanute National bank and were pre-
scented by Perkins at the Bank of To-
peka to be cashed. An answer in the
suit was filed by the Chanute bank in
which it denies that the Bank of To-
peka ever paid out any money upon the
checks but claims that it is simply
holding the checks for collection. But it
is the answer filed by Beeks that thick

he gave the checks to Perkins while he
was drunk, that they were in payment
of gambling debts and that he stopped
payment upon them as soon as he be-
came sober.

to live in Topeka. Coming here he met
Perkins, who was formerly on the fire
department. Beeks claims that Perkins
induced him to go to some rooms on the
second floor on the north side of West
Fifth street where they took several
drinks Beeks claims that after he had
drank a lot of liquor they started a po-
ker game In the course of it he lost
money and gave Perkins the checks over
which the dispute has arisen. He sub

that he stopped payment on the orders.

st. Louis, Mo. Nov. Authorization
was received yesterday by those inter-

Texas that a "gusher'' oil well had
been struck at Matag orda, the term
mus of that road
Although Matagurda is 200 miles
from the oil region of Texas the indi-
cations of oil induced capitalists and
prospectors to bore for it there. The
first borings resulted in an outpouring
of gas so powerful as to wreck the
pipe which forms the well. and it was
then decided that this gas power
should be utilized in the digging of the
other wells by running the engines
with it. This was done with the result
