While in some cases the new order

United States Marshal Baker went
to Tekoa last night and arrested
William Ward on a charge of selling
liquor to Indians. Indian Joe was
also taken into custody having a
bottle of beer. The government holds
that Joe got the bottle from Ward,
but has some difficulty in getting Joe
to acknowledge that he did not get
the beer in Spokane. Joe was identi-
fled by Land Agent Hal J. Cole as
