Claims They Are Running a Joint. !.

A lady who resides near the q depot
called at The REPORTER office the past
week and wanted to know why the
authorities are permitting liquor joint
to run in the old hotel property across
from the q depot. We were Informed
that the place is carried on under the
guise of lunch room but it is claimed
by our informant that this is only q
cloak for the real business, the illegal
sale of liquor. Time and time again
this old building has been used as Joint
and it certainly looks as if the authori-
ties should take hand in the matter,
and pul stop 20 the bootlegger's traffic
in this city. Any one with fair average
intelligence can point out from Ten to
fifteen we'll dressed men in this town
who never do days work, yet live and
have money, and seemingly do not care
that they have the reputation of being
bootleggers. Clean out Leon of this dis:
reputable gang. We don't want them
here.

Leon Caucus was a Warm One.

The senatorial caucus of the republic
cans of Leon held at the court house
Saturday afternoon was warm session,
and nearly equal in stirring scenes to
the famous caucus last year. The court
house was crowded, both factions hav-
ing strained every energy to get out
their votes, while the gallery was we'll
filled with democrats who had gathered
to see the fun.
The caucus was called to order at 2
o'clock by A. Biddison, county chair.
man and township committeeman, who
placed the name of r. A. Siger in NOM
inaton for chairman. The Stookey
forces presented the name of Judge II.
l.. Parrish for chairman. Chairman
Biddison appointed Sanford Reed and
J. w. Bowman to divide the house and
requested all who were in favor of Sigler
for chairman to stand and be counted.
The tellers announced 10Y for Sigler and
when the other side stood up to be
counted the tellers announced 80 for
Parrish, and then pandemonium reigned
Finally semblance of order was re-
s.ored and both sides were trying to be
recognized. There were motions of all
kinds, to reconsider, to substitute, tc
table, and to do everything else. Chair
man Sigler seemed confused by the
tangle of parliamentary questions thrus

upon him, but seemed to try and do
the fair thing. Everybody wanted to
talk, and some of the remarks were not
very mplimentary. At least they did
not indicate that everything was love
feast. After wrangling about an hour a
motion was finally made that the chair
appoint committee to select delegates
to the county convention, and Chair
man Sigler appointed Bowman and
Reed, the same committee who had
made the count on the selection of
chairman. The Stookey crowd groaned
and groaned and kept on groaning, un-
til finally Mr.. Bowman made the sug-
gestion that the voters pass in at one Of
the gates in front of the bar partition
and out the other. 1t was agreed to and
the count in this manner showed 100
for Stookey and SO for Eiker, and then
it was time for the Stookey crowd to
rejoice. Before they had named a
committee to select the delegates, j. r.
Bowsher, one Of the Eiker supporters,
made motion that Mr.. Stookey be
permitted to select his own delegation
and the motion carried.
The caucus then adjourned, but it
was an angry crowd of men who poured
out on the street, and the discussions
and accusations of traitor, etc. were
continued for several hours. In a
number of instances the parties almost
came to blows, and in one case two
we'll known and popular court house
officials became so badly mixed up that
both pulled their coats and regular
slugging match would have resulted had
not friends hastily interfered. There
has been considerable bad feeling en-
gendered and the end may not be yet.

He Carries the Leon Caucus and a
Majority of the County-Will
Secure Delegation to the
Senatorial Convention.

The terrific struggle, " hich has been
in progress in Decatur county ever since
last year over the senatorial question

were held to select delegates to the
county convention which meets in this
city Saturday to name delegates to the
senatorial convention, which has not
yet been called, and it locks very much
AS if Marion +. Stookey of Leon, had
the Cumnins faction of the republican
party.
The fight started several years ago
when contrary to the expectation of
the old line faction, DIR. b. l.. Eiker after
being elected representative from this
county supported Cummins for U. s.:
Senator, while the old crowd was sure
he was with them and would vote for
Gear. Since that time the breach be-
tween the two factions has been WIDEN

His managers make the following claims:

GOT GAY WITH JUDGE.
A Bedford Attorney Fined by
Judge Parrish for Contempt of
Court.

Judge r. l.. Parrish while holding
court at Bedford last week, fined Sena-
tor +. l.. Arthaud twenty-five dollars
for contempt of court. The contempt
occurred in the arguments of the An
derson cage which was then on trial.
Senator Arthaud was talking and his
language became such that the court
construed it as a election upon him
and called Arthaud's attention to the
matter. Whereupon, in the language
Of the record, Senator Arthaud became
guilty of ''contemptuous and insolent
behavior to the court. The proceedings
as set out upon the record are as fol-

the respect due to it's authority, in lam
guage and conduct in refusing to obey
the orders of the court, and in his re-
marks and conduct towards the court
in this as in many other instances dur
ing the term, the court has adjudged
him in contempt and assesses a fine of
$25 which the clerk is ordered to record.
At the same time the court directs, as
