A TEMPLE OF HEALTH
The Object Of Prof. NeVille's Visits is
to Prepare a Future by Prov.
ing His Power.

Prof. d. R. Neville, the gentle
man who has been winning such
fame in southernKansas through his
cures requests the Index to express
his appreciation of the cordial re.
ception rendered him by the people
of Medicine Lodge and vicinity.
The object of his Introductory
trips here has been to establish a
future for himself and associates,
efecting cures that will be a per-
manent endorsement of their work.
Although it is not probable that
any member of the staff of Larson
Healers will again visit Medicine
Lodge after Prof. Neville has COM
pleted his work here, the people
may watch these columns for the
announcements OF the great Temple
OF Health they contemplate estab-
fishing within the present year.
AS has been announced, no more
cases will be accepted by Prof. Ne
Vile for the full course of treat
ment. However, there are Affections
that will yield to a few treatments,
among which may be mentioned
stomach, liver, bowel kidney and
bladder troubles, nervousness,
headaches, difficult breathing and
painful conditions in any part of
the body. As Prof. Neville will
make several more trips toMedicine
Lodge to comlpete the course of
treatment already begun, he will
accept new patients suffering from
such of the Affections mentioned
as in his judgment will yield to his
power in the time he will have to
treat them, provided arrangements
are made with him at the Grand
hotel next Tuesday, April a..

NOT GUILTY.

The trial of George Scantlin at
Pratt last week, charged with
the murder of Bert Bean (colored), J,
formerly of this city, resulted in an
acquittal. Scantlin was a special
deputy marshal on a show day in
Pratt. Bean and others, it seems,
were having time and when the
deputy marshal went to arrest him,
he ran. Scantlin shot with dead
ly effect. The trial lasted four
days. Seward |. Field of this city

ENJOINERS ENJOINED.
The County Attorney Takes a Hand
In the "BO0Ze" Injunctions. j.
X. Codding and W. H. Me.
Cague Restrained.

On Saturday Probate Judge c.
). Gleason, on application of Coun-
ty Attorney Griffin, issued tenn
porary injunction against !. K.
Codding, attorney for the State
Temperance Union, and w. H. Nc
Cague, his assistant of this CITY,
restraining them from appearing
and prosecuting any action per-
tanning to the violation of the
prohibitory liquor law in the name
OF the state of Kansas, and particu-
larly the injunction actions now
pending against certain alleged
saloon keepers in Kiowa and Med
iclne Lodge, which were instituted
by the attorneys above mentioned.
At the May term of the district
court the county attorney will en-
deavor to secure a permanent in
junction, as the case will take
precedence of the Injunction suits
against the saloon men. The effect
OF the county attorneys action and
those who are back of him, is to
raise the question of the constitu-
tionality of the injunction act
passed by the legislature under
which the State Temperance In
ion is proceeding, which will prob.
ably have the effect of at least de-
laying for a year the suits filed by
Codding and McCague.
The county attorneys petition is
somewhat on the humorous order.
1t goes on to say that he has at all
times been ready and willing to
enforce the prohibitory law but.
that Notwithstanding his good
faith in the matter Messrs. Cod
ding and McCague ignored him
and instituted the injunction pro-
ceedings without his knowledge
and consent and contrary to the
laws of the state of Kansas; that
they are usurping the duties of the
county attorney for their own per-
sonal gain, which, if tolerated will
create disrespect for and lower the
dignity of the office. The petition
also alleges that zone Moses
Wright, a man of advanced years,
fanatic and childish" was inhu-
enced by the defendants and others
to make affidavit without any ac-
tual knowledge of facts set forth.
Lawyers differ as to the effect
the temporary injunction will have
on the lawyers affected. Some
say that since it forbids them
to prosecute any action in which
the state Of Kansas is in any man
ner interested, it has the effect of
preventing them from practicing
at all, because the name of the
state is used in all cases, both civil
and criminal. Others say that the
restraining order extends only to
cases in which the county attorney
can be construed to be the prose-
Cutor.
The injunction was granted
without notite of the action to
either Mr.. McCague or Mr.. Cod
ding. The law permits this to be
done but does not compel it, and
In cases where parties are easily
accessible the custom is to serve
notice.
While we are neither a prophet
nor a son of prophet, we predict in
teresting developments. Mr.. Cod
ding is both famous lawyer and
a shrewd politician and always
fights back, while the county at
torney and his advisers seem to be
equally determined.
