SEIZURE CLAUSE.
Claim That 1t Conflicts With New
Charter Act.

If the district court upholdS the con-
tentions set forth in the bill of partic-
ulars which Attorney Chas. Magaw
presented in behalf of w. H. Fay in
the case of the city of n: peka against
three cases of Schlitz ed Thursday
afternoon before Judg Hamilton, the
particular purpose : which Chief
Stahl was appOin d will be largely
rendered useless.
The case in ques lion resulted from
a raid made upon Geo. klauer at 524
and 526 Kansas avenue upon the 3Oth
of April and tie 18th of July. The
three cases we're captured at the time
IF the first raid and a number of addi-
tiOral bottles were taken on the 18th
of July. w. H. Fay who said that he
owned the property set UP the claim
that the property could not be right
fully destroyed by the court but must
be restored to the owner. The basis
upon which the claim is built is that
the last charter act passed by the leg
islature does not permit the city to
enact an ordinance which tranScendS the
power delegated in the charter act. The
contention Furthermore is, that this
charter act does not permit the mayor
and city council to pass an ordinance
containing a search and seizure clause.
Though in addition it is not assumed
that the city council even under the
old charter act had the power to pass
an ordinance with a provision as to
search and seizure. It asserts that if
sucn power did exist it was abrogated
by the passing of the last charter act.
Should the contention thus set
forth be held valid in the district court
it will mean the opening wedge of the
joint business in the city of Topeka
The only action which can be taken
under such a construction would be to
arrest the keeper of the joint. the
property remaining intact. Judge Ham
ilton held against this bill of particu-
lars and ordered the liquor destroyed
though giving the defendant ten days
respite in which to file an appeal bond.
The fine of 500 and thirty days was
assessed against the evidence procured
upon the 18th of July.

WITH DRAWN PISTOLS.
Policemen Are Parading the Streets
of BOneSteel.

Bonesteel, S. D.. July 22.-Excitement
is running high in Bonesteel, brought
about by the rescue of an arrested
of the police by a dozen or Is of his
friends and rushed down the main
street of the town and secreted. The
gambler was arrested and was being
escorted to the police station when
suddenly, at the word of a leader a
crowd of cappers and friends of the
prisoner made a dash for the police
man having him in charge. Selling the
prisoner they tore him from the grasp
of the officer who drew his revolver and
struck one of the attacking party i
blow in the face, cutting him quite Sc
verely, and then fired two shots into
the air, hoping to bring the rescuing
party to halt. The attacking party
surrounded the prisoner and succeeded
in getting him away.
The city authorities began swearing
in extra police help and have express
ed the determination to enforce the law
at any cost. Policemen are parading
the streets with drawn revolvers. The
reputable element of BOneSteel are
much wrought up over the rescue, and
are determined to maintain peace.
The approaching close to the regis
tration period is being vividly illustra-
ted in the increased numbers of those
who wish to add their names to the al
ready long lists.
Several sections of a Northwestern
passenger train arrived today, and to-
morrow and the days yet remaining
for registration are confident ex-
pected to bring a crush.

Hail and Rain Brought an Agreeable
Change.

The wind and hail and rain of

up to seasonable temperature. To-
day has been cool enough for July.
The forecast for Kansas sent out
today is: Generally fair in the
north; local showers south portion to-
night and probably Saturday; slightly
warmer Saturday." The temperatures
over the state for the past "a hours
have not been high. the maximum and
minimum temperatures being as fol-
lows:

The 100000 mark in the registra-
