THE WHISKY RAID
DRUGGISTS AT TISHOMlNGO ARE
TREATED TO A SURPRISE.
Strange Deputies in Citizens Clothes
swoop Down on the Apotheeary
Shops and Spill over 500 Gal
Ions Of Whisky.

Tishomingo, June 15-The drug
gists of this city were yesterday treat
ed to a big surprise party by a band
Of strange deputies in citizens clothes
who swooped down upon the variou.
apothecary shops and spilled over
500 gallons of whisky of various and
gundry brands.
The deputies proceeded with their
work in a very business-like manner
They quietly walked into the drug
stores, shut the front doors, turned
the keys, and told the proprietors to
dig up all the booze" they had about
the place
The work was done so suddenly
that some Of the druggists ain ST
had heart failure.
For some time complaints have
been received by the Dawes commits
sion at Muskogee of the promiscuous
trade in whisky which has been car
ried on here. The matter was re-
ferred to Washington, and 1t is said
that the president himself laid the
plan and gave the orders which
caught the druggists.
The deputies were all strangers and

CIVIL SERVICEl

II seems that the courts have come
to the rescue again, and that they
now hold that the purpose of the
civil service law is 20 restrict the
power of appointment, not that of re-
muval" The right to discharge Gov
ernmont employees is limited only by
the provision that no removal shall
be made because OF the refusal of an
employe to contribute money or ser
vices to political party. Action by
any department chief responsible to
the president in removing an emp;oye
for any other cause than that speci-
fled is not renewable 10y the courts.
such is the effect of the decision
in the case of Miss Taylor, a former
clerk in the war department, VINO
was dismissed because OF admitted
authorship OF a newspaper letter in
which the presidents policy for an
order OF reinstatement on the ground
that under the civil service law she
could not be removed for an express
sion Of political opinion offensive to
the chief executive or the administra-
tion as a whole.
This is certainly quite as broad as
the most merciless party headsman
could wish It, One Is CONSTRAINED to
ask what the restriction OF the power
Of appointment counts for II the pow
er of removal is unrestricted? Even
II thousand reovals had to be made
in order TO reach the right name on
, the list, this can be done under this
decision, thus absolutely defeating
the main purpose Of the civil service
: law
There can certainly be no doubt
that the spirit of the civil service Law
was violated When Miss Taylor wa.
discharged, just as It was violate,
when postmasters were turned loos'
and even ordered to run the repuhli
can conventions But what's the us'
to go over all that? The court ha
fixed it by simply holding that jh,
the spokesman in charge can discharg
whomsocver he pleases, and ma,
keep it up until he gets in the part

he prefers to provide. That is tn

WANTS STATE TO PAY
FOR DESTROYED HORSE
Duluth Man Proceeds Against Live
Stock and Sanitary Board

The members of the state live stock
and sanitary board were yesterday
served with a writ of mandamus, is
sued by Judge DibeIl, of Duluth, and
citing the members of the board to ap-
pear in court in Duluth, Monday, June
27, and show cause why they should
not name appraisers to fix value upon
a horse which was killed while sup
posed to be suffering from the glanders.
The writ is issued at the instance of
L. r. Martin, of Duluth, who owned the
horse. The members of the board of
health of Duluth are also named as re-
spondentS in the action.
Martin says he owned chestnut
gelding Of great value, which he kept
at Duluth, and that in September, 1903,
the horse was adjudged to have the
glanders and killed. Before the horse
was killed, Martin entered a protest,
declaring the horse did not have the
glanders, and a post-mortem examina-
tion showed that he was correct.
Martin demanded that he be paid for
the horse, asking that appraisers be
named to fix a value, but he says his
requests have been ignored, both by the
state board and the Duluth board.
Having exhausted other resources,
Martin mandamused the members of
the two boards and the members will
now have to appear before Judge Dibell
and show cause why they should not
name appraisers.

MEN DENY CHARGE OF
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Lynch and Riley Repudiate Alleged
Confession and Plead Not Guilty

Despite the fact that the police claim
a confession has been made, G. B.
Lynch and James Riley, charged with
attempting to hold up c. A. Lane on
Fairview street last Thursday night
When arraigned in the police court
yesterday the men pleaded not guilty,
and the cases against them were con-
tinued until Tuesday.
The men are said to have attempted
to hold up Mr.. Lane when he was on
his way home Thursday night, but in
stead Of submitting to the demands of
the highwaymen, Lane put up a fight,
and while the three men were mixing it
up on the walk, one Of the highway
men, mistaking his partner for Lane,
succeeded in gagging him, and while
the two men were fighting with each
other, Lane took a gun from one OF
them and ran a block for a policeman.
Half an hour later, while the police
were searching for the men, Lynch and
Riley were discovered in the neighbor-
hood, and were placed under arrest,
Lane Identifying them as the men who
had attacked him. One of the men is
said to have carried cartridges which
fitted the revolver secured by Lane,
and Lynch, it is said, subsequently con-
fessed to the police that he and Riley
were the men who attempted the job.
This confession is now repudiated by
both of the men, and a fight will be
made by them for liberty.
