ROSS Loss.

The police decided not to let this
week go by without making a good old
fashioned raid of some kind, so last
night Officers Kenney. England, Bry-
ant, woodward and Costello. together
with Bob Palmer at the wheel, took a
little trip down First street and, stop
ping near the Turner hall at the house
occupied and maintained by Sallie Jen-
kins, they dropped in and found Salll'
and M. Artebridge. They were allowed
to remain in each others company,
however, and the police accompanied
them to the station.
Sallie is one of the remainders of the
times when Topeka was under the
hands of Carrie Nation and her crowd
of reformers. She is one of the very
few who remain to tell the story of
Carries raids and she will have to tell
her stories to other towns or else lead
q different life. She has been picked
up by the police every month. or so on
lower Kansas avenue. She always paid
her fine. although 1t was increased each
time, and then went back to her old
occupation.
But the newness is wearing off and
the police will not stand her much lon
ger. She is never in fear of arrest and
always has plenty of money, With
these comforts behind Der she has
no desire to change her course. She

Last night she was found with her
brother-in-law. NJ. Artebridge. She
married Joe Artebridge not long ago.
The man she was with is a stranger to
the police and he is paying his first
hne. He was always slick enough to
find the back door before the officers
did.
The police thought that booze would
be found in the house, but everything
was dry.
r. E Sprague, plasterer, was found
drunk last night by officer Fribance.
The officer claimed that he was guilty
of resistment, but Sprague denies this
part of the deal. He plead guilty to
"drunk" but said the police should be
satisfied with that and not give him
any more charges. He is making d

of the Indians at Horton and, after be-

fine would increase in proportion with
the arrests, he went home. His last
fine for being drunk was $40.
Sergeant Ross is getting on the wag-
