n PAYS THE ATTORNEYS.
Prosecuting Omcials Making Money
From "JOint'' Cases.

lola. Kan, Jan 12-At the present
term Of the district court thirty-seven
men are to be tried for selling liquor
for keeping a place where liquor was
sold, sor for assisting in the violation Of
the prohibitory law. Two are being
tried every day, and every man is being
convicted. County Attorney B. E. Cliff
ford and Assistant Attorney General
Evans seem to be running a race to see
which can convict the most men on the
largest number of counts. Mr. Clifford,
by reason of his office, has the first call
on the docket. and his cases are being
tried first. He has eighteen under ar
rest and Mr.. Evans nineteen. Allen
county juries have always convicted
joint men when there was the slightest
excuse for doing so.
AS assistant attorney general, Mr..
Evans receives $25 for every count on
which he secures a conviction. He has
sufficient counts now to make the office
pay $2,175, and he is still holding in
QUESTIONS. Mr. Clifford, the county at
torney, is also holding inQuisitions, and
every man who has sold liquor in Allen
county within the past two years viii
probably be arrested or at least war
rants issued for him. Several Of the
local jointkeepers have gone to Kansas
City and purchased saloons. The bust
ness, they say, is too precarious for
them here

BIG CANADIAN GEESE.
ConeyviIIe Hunters Bring Back Eight
From a Trip.

Eight Canadian wild geese. the
largest geese that fly were among the
trophies of a four days hunt from
which n. A. Kaiser and George Chain
returned Monday evening. The geese
are much larger than the ordinary
wild goose seen on the ponds and
marshes in this country while on their
flights to and from the south and it is
rare that thye are seen in this section
of the country. The fowls are all per-
fectly white and the average weight of
the eight was about sixteen pounds.
The wings of one of the geese meas
ured seven feet and four inches from
tip to tip and the others averaged
about the same.
The flock of geese from which the
eight were secured had settled on the
lake and were swimming around in
the open when first seen by the hunt
ers. The flock numbered thirteen and
the two men brought down eight of
the number. Mr.. Kaiser had often
hunted the same kind of geese on Lake
Winnipeg in Manitoba and recognized
the species at once. He says the birds
seemed very tired as they had had
long hight.-COffeyvill Journal.
