KICKER REALLY IN JAIL.
Took About Three Years to Put Him
There.

Ike Kicker is in the county Jail. It's
been a long time since Kicker was
headed that way and as the mills of
the law grind slowly it has taken about
three years, more or less, to finally set
tie his case.
About three years ago. during the
time that Judge A. L. Redden was as
sistant attorney general for Shawnee
county. he prosecuted Kicker on the
charge of maintaining a nuisance and
selling liquor southwest of town. The
case went through the district court
and dragged along through the clogged
channels Of justice through the supreme
court. Finally the supreme court said
Kicker was properly convicted, on two
counts. and yesterday the mandate
came down and Lucas had Kicker ar
rested.

Of pneumonia in infants in which the
windows of the sick room were kept
open day and night; both children re-
