ATCHISON IS RAIDED.
Attorney General jackson Issues War;
rants for Jointists.

Atchison, Kan. Aug. 20.-The Globe
says:
Eleven warrants were issued Monday
in the name of the state of Kansas,
charging Martin Dngert, Eugene Ward.
Ed Leonardo, Pat McAuliffe, William
Mcnamara, A. w. Dilgert, c. H. Klos-
terrneier. Elmer Hyde. George burst.
R. Hall and H. F. Scharringhausen
with the unlawful sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. They We're issued at the
instance of F. S. Jackson. attorney
general, upon allegations made by Rob-
ert Norris, who is said to be secretary
of the State Temperance union. The
warrants were brought from Topeka by
the attorney general, who also brought
and filed eleven civil injunction suits
against the owners of the properties in
which the above defendants have been
doing business. The injunction suits
ask that the owners of such buildings
be required to pay all the costs, includ-
ing a $3.50 attorney fee in each case.
Judge Hudson, however, can decide the
reasonableness of the attorneys fee.
Robert Norris. secretary of the Kan
sas State Temperance union, was in
Atchison, and is evidently managing
the fight made on the 2 per cent joints.
Another report is that four spoilers
worked every place Saturday night.
then the third would follow and make
a purchase and go out and the fourth
man would come in. Each of the two
making the purchase would report to
lockers. Mr.. Norris visited some of the
joints in the forenoon and told a re-
porter that in one of them he saw the
bartender pouring whisky into a half
pint bottle and remarking that ''he
wasn't going to lose his nerve even
if the attorney general was in town.
and at the same time he was spilling
whisky over the sides of the bottle.
The eleven defendants have been pay
ing the city license for selling 2 per
cent. The warrants charge them with
selling intoxicating liquors unlawfully.
Conviction means a fine of 500 and 80
days in 'iail on each count
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
sheriff and his deputies had succeeded
in serving only four of the eleven war
rants. They were upon Martin Dilgert,
William Mcnamara, Bryan Smith and
George burst. The places of business
of the others were found closed and
nobody about the premises. All the 2
per cent joints in town were closed,
whether warrants were out for their
owners or not. 1t is said that the pro-
prietors of several crossed the bridge.
Owners of some of the most prominent
places are not among those for whom
warrants were issued, but Atchison is
dry.

Attorney General Jackson Fires
Another Battery.
Begins War ON the Atchison
Jointists.
AKESHOLDIN PERSON
Directs Raids on the 1.-Two Per
Cent" Places.
Supposed to Be the Start of a
Long Crusade.

The fight which has been started by
Attorney General Fred Jackson in
person to close up the Atchison sa-
looms may be the opening gun of a
new battle with the saloons.
Instead of a general bombardment
of the entire state, the attorney gem
eral can now concentrate his fire, and
the results will probably be decisive
and speedy. Having by means OF the
brewery suits ''shelled the woods
and driven the booze sellers out of the
underbrush into certain definite
strongholds. the attorney general will
proceed to lay siege to these strong
holds.
There are only a few of these left
in the state. Atchison was one of
them, and General Jackson showed
what he could do there Monday by
taking personal charge of the raid on
the 3-per cent places.
The next place which will be at
tackled will probably be Crawford
county.
The State Temperance union has
been working down in Cherokee and
Crawford counties for some time, and
in speaking of the results, their at
torney, J. K. Codding. said today:
Cherokee county is now in pretty
good shape, but Crawford is running
about the same as usual. The county
attorney there is Dan Wooley. APP
parently there is not much effort to
close the saloons.
Labette county, which is also in the
southeastern Kansas district, is also
said to be running wide open, and
there is a strong probability that it will
get a taste of state supervision before
long.
Leavenworth county is also loosen
ing up too much. and it will proba bly,
have to be used as an example before
the county attorney gets himself into
mind. There are all sorts of scandals
cropping out about Leavenworth, in
volving the collection of money from
joints, and the operation of gambling
houses and disorderly resorts.
Kansas City Kan. strange to state,
is said to be prospering under the
regime of dryness. = The merchants
who bitterly oppQ5ed closing up the
saloons are now said to be well salts
to be strong enough there now for law
enforcem to almost assure the town
of the ability to take care of itself
without interference from the state.
The merchants are able to make col
Iections more readily. and rents are
higher than they were before the sa-
looms were closed.
Wichita seems to be keeping faith
with the state since the law enforce
ment mayor took office and Finley
Ross was just able to dodge an custer
suit by retirement from office.
When half a dozen towns and coun-
ties which still persist in defyfng the
law are taken care of. the state will
be more free from saloons, joints and
other resorts than anyone would have
supposd possible two years ago.
