The authorities Of the state Of Ala
bama have decided to use their utmost
efforts to discourage lynchings. A
special term Of court has been ordered
to try a number of men who are held
for the lynching OF "a negro recently.
Governor jerks stated few days ago
that such violation Of law as the VIII
mington burning could not haze taken
place in Alabama. Well, such a spec
tacle did take place, although the
sheriff was badly wounded ere the pris-
oner was taken from him. But Cover
nor jerks does the only thing left FOR
him to do: he demands swift punish
ment for the violaters of the law. The
Governor was mistaken in his belief
that lynching could not occur in Ala
bama, but it having occurred, he de-
clares the law-breakers shall not g
unpunished. Good for Governor jerks

Law on Part of DisreputabIe Places.
Police Find contraband Arrests
Are Made.

Oskaloosa. March 2.-(Special.)- In
dictments have been returned by the
Mahaska county grand jury against
fifteen or twenty keepers of alleged
gambling joints, houses of ill fame

of keeping disreputable houses. In
some cases the bond was furnished,

result of the failure of the keepers
of the joints to comply with the law.
For the past year the police of the
city have from time to time found
places running in. violation to the law
and contraband goods has often been
discovered. Many arrests have been
made and in one instant fine of ST.
900 for contempt of court was impos-
ed. Up to this time, however, the
keepers of the alleged joints have per-
sisted in running their places.
Saturday night the police of the
city made a raid on the questionable
places and three gambling houses
were discovered and seventeen per
sons were arrested for being found
therein. The disregard of the keep
ers for the law attracted the attention
of the grand jury and the members
have determined to make a cleaning
in this city.
