MAKES RAID AT Rossv1LLE.
Sheriff Wilkerson Swoops Down on a
Drug Store.

Sheriff Wilkerson and Deputy Ed
ward Patterson of Rossville made an
early evening raid on the drug store
conducted by A. F. Armstrong at
O'Clock Wednesday evening and cap
tured the stock of liquor which was re-
moved from the premises. Sheriff WIKI
erson learned that the proprietor of the
store was at St. Marys and notified
him of his intent and Mr.. Armstrong
arrived on the scene in time to witness
the cleaning out process
Mr.. Armstrong purchased the store
but a short time ago and as the former
proprietors had no permit intoxicating
liquor was not handled, but immediate
steps were taken by the new proprietor
to secure the coveted permit and an
application was made to the probate
court. The petition contained the re-
quired number of signers but before
the permit was granted they began
calling up over the telephone and ask
Ing that their names be removed.
The sentiment against granting the
permit was worked up by the State
Temperance union and when Mr.. Arm
strong learned of the action taken by
the union he voluntarily withdrew his
application for permit. OF late num-
erouS complaints have reached the Of
flee of county attorney stating that Ii
Quor has been sold contrary to law
since Mr.. Armstrong has been the own
er of the store and the raid last even
ing was the result of these complaints
which County Attorney Schenck feels
have been SubStantiated.

WEIGH MUST GO BACK.
Governor Honors Requisition for Man
for Stealing Own con.

Governor Hoch this morning, after
hearing heated arguments on the
proposition; honored the reQuisition of
the governor of Indiana for the return
to that state of Chester WEIGH. who
kidnapped his own 6-year-old son and
came to Dodge City where his parents
live.
Welch was brought to Topeka by
Sheriff Bell of Ford county. This
afternoon Bell turned the prisoner
over to Sheriff Albert King of Indiana,
who took the young man back to the
Hoosier state. The boy, however, re-
mains with his grandparents at Dodge
City.
The case is the result of a fight
between WEIGH and his wife. They
lived in Indiana, until their troubles
began, and then WEIGH took the child
and went to Ohio. Mrs. WEIGH
brought legal proceedings and recov-
cred possession of the boy. She then
placed the child in the hands of
wealthy man and his wife who had
been her foster parents. While the
child was in the possession of these
people, WEIGH again kidnapped him,
and brought him to Kansas.
The requisition was resisted by
John, Switzer of Topeka. and ]. B.
Larimer appeared for the sheriff from
Indiana. The claim was made that
the reQuisition was merely a subter
fuge; that the desire was not to pun
ish Welch for kidnapping, but to get
possession of the child. 1t was also
claimed that WEIGH was entitled to
possession of the child rather than its
foster parents.

MORE INCUBATOR BABY.
Attorneys Claim Habeas Corpus Pa.
---- pers Are Illegal.

Attorneys for Charlotte E. Bleak
ley, mother of the "incubator baby"
fired their opening shot today in the
skfrmish which has commenced in the
United States circuit court over the
possession of the child and in a re-
turn to the writ of habeas corpus of
James G. Barclay who is claiming the
child on papers of adoption, dismiss
the papers with an airy wave of the
hand as being of no account.
AS expected the legality of the pa
pers is attacked on the ground that
when they were taken out James G.
Barclay and his wife, Stella Barclay
were simply sojourners of the state OF
Missouri and not actual residents
when they secured the papers from
the state court. soy.
The return also corrects a number
of misstatements which it is claimed
are put forth by the plaintiffs.
Some interesting Information is re-
lated in the return to which the at
torneys for the plaintiff must make
answer within the next ten days.

NEARLY KILLED HIM.
Elnont Farmer Has Boys Arrested
for Serious Assault.

Peter Thompson, Clarence wendell,
Earl Priddy, William Bartram and Rob
ert Jackson were arrested this morning
charged with assault upon the person
OF James Landauer, farmer living one
mile north of Elmont. All of the per-
sons interested in the case are farm
erS Ut farmers sons living in that part
of the county and the stories told OF
the incidents leading to the arrests are
as numerous as the defendants as well
as a goodly number thrown in for good
measure on account of the complaining
witness in the case.
AS nearly as the facts can be learned
there was a keg party in the neighbOr-
hood of Elmont a week ago today in
which all of the parties mentioned
played an important part. The COM
plant was sworn out by H. H Parr, a
brother-in-law of James Landauer,
who was the owner of the property
where the party was held. The boys
who are charged with the assault claim
that the plaintiff started the trouble
after imbibing in numerous drinks OF
Topeka whisky from a bottle which ne
furnished as sort of dessert.
They claim that after the contents OF
the key had been almost absorbed that
Landauer produced the bottle and after
taking a number of drinks announced
his ability to clean up the bunch. Two
of the older members of the party had
left prior to this time and the report
of the complaining witness indicates
that when they did start on the clean
ing out process that they did a COM
plete job of it.
The story of Landauer, who is back
ed up by his brother-in-law, who is
well known law and order man, Is to
the effect that the boys beat him nearly
to death and left him Supposing that
he was too dead to tell the story of the
assault They claim among other things
that the boys beat him over the head
with a rifle of small calibre until the
barrel was bent from usage.
