PIPE LINE GUARDED.
Deputy Sheriffs to Protect From
| Further Violence.

independence, Kan, Dec. 21.-Six
special deputy sheriffs are now riding
the gas pipe line to protect it from
further mob violence. Sheriff Andy
Pruitt appointed them late Tuesday.
upon the request of the pipe line COM
pany. If this is not enough, the sher-
iff will name more. The company has
agreed to stand the expense in case
the county board refuses to pay the
bill. The board is antagonistic to the
pipe line.
ble,'' said the sheriff. 1.-The anti
pipers seem to have quoted down"
Have you any clues to the dyna-
miters?" he was asked.
NO said he. Il have just arrived
home, and there are so many things
that demand my attention today that 1
have given no time to ferreting out the
dynamiters. Probably the easiest way
to get them is to go slow. Some OF
them will give the whole thing away
before long, so there is no reason to
rush things. Some people insinuate
that, because I have expressed myself
in sympathy with the movement to
keep the gas at home, am not anxious
to pursue the dynamiters. Sympathy
is one thing, the public duty is anoth-
err. 1 will do my duty. i have notified
the pipe line company that viii glad
" cooperate with its detectives in the
they swear out
In a general way, it is easy to sus-
pect some of the culprits, but 1t may
be hard to get evidence to convict On
account of the existing feeling 1t is
doubtful if a jury could be secured in
Montgomery county that would con-
vict. One man could hang the jury
and perhaps some of the dynamiters
would be drawn on the jury.
The anti-piperS cannot get very far
IA
ance is based on the illegal use of the
public highways by the pipe line con-
Germ. The fact is nearly every public
road in Montgomery county is lined
with pipe lines. 1t is estimated that
over 500 miles of pipe lines are strung
along the public thoroughfares. No
complaint was ever made against the
use of the roads for this purpose until
the Kansas Natural Gas company be-
gan using the roads.
A citation has been served on the
Kansas Natural Gas company in the
quo warranto proceedings begun in the
supreme court, atsTopeka. rVTuS-
This citation requires the company
to appear and show cause why it has
not been exceeding the powers grant
ed in it's charter in the obstruction of
public highways and in crossing them
without condemnation proceedings.
This will bring the merits of the whole
question before the supreme court
sooner than it can be done otherwise.
While it in no way disposes of the
other litigation, it will practically set
tie the position of the supreme court
as to the right of the Kansas Natural
Gas company to pipe gas across Mont
gomery county, and that is the vital
issue. If the court decides the COM
pany has not exceeded It's charter
powers, then it can go. ahead and lay
its pipe line under adequate protection.
The hearing of the motion filed by
Judge Smelling of Coffeyville to dis
solve the original injunction of Judge
Flannelly comes up before Judge Elan
nelly Thursday.

the court asked Mrs. Cunningham.

the court asked Mrs. Cunningham.
She shook her head.
"You may not understand this pro-
ceeding.''
"I do not" said Mrs. Cunningham.
'You are entitled to a preliminary
examination said Judge McCabe. You
may waive it or demand it. You have
the right to an examination but if you
waive it it does not effect your right
to a trial by jury
Mrs. Cunningham did not answer and
did not seem to know what to do.
Cunningham attempted to address
the court again but his words were
scarcely audible. He repeated the
statement that his wife was innocent.
Judge McCabe fixed the bond and
the date for the preliminary examina-
ton and stated that if in the mean
time the prisoners wished to waive
they could do SO.
Mrs. Cunningham walked erect She
did not seem to be affected by the
proceedings in court nor the seemingly
pitiabIe condition of her husband She
was dressed in a long black cloak a
gray skirt and a large hat. She wore
a pink ribbon around her throat.
Cunningham was dressed in black
and a stubby growth of beard added
to his sickly appearance Cunning
ham is known to the police of Chicago
as a man who will break and run from
an officer if the slightest chance pre-
sents itself, and when Sheriff Lucas
led him he held him with pair of
"nippers" on his wrist.

Cunningham feigns paralysis. He
handles his right leg and right arm as
a paralytic would. AS he was able TO
make quite q tuss1e and tried to trip
Detective Heffern, 240 pound man,
when he was arrested at Lima he was
sound and strong last Thursday.
Cunningham feigns paralysis in
perfect manner but as he tried the m
sanity dodge when he was arrested for
horse stealing in Ohio Sheriff Lucas
doesn't take any stock in the paralytic
dodge.
Cunningham was stopped and bent as
he walked with the officer. He was
supported on each side in making the
trip to and from the jail. In the court
room he sank into a chair. His body
trembled and his head shook as one
troubled with nervous disorder He
seemed hardly able to speak and 1t was
difficult to understand him.
'sAre you represented by counsel?"
asked Judge McCabe.
Had No Lawyer.
Cunningham shook his head
when do you desire your preliminary
examination asked the court.
Cunningham shook his head and wav-
ed his arms as if to say that he cared
nothing for preliminary examination.
