Supreme Court Orders Arrest
of Is Jointists.
Liquor Men at Pittsbnrg Charg-
ed With Violating Injunction.

Charging them with double con-
tempt Of court. the supreme court has
issued attachments for the arrest of
fifteen alleged jointists in Pittsburg,
Kan, and deputized J. Y. Niles, bailiff
OF the court, to proceed at once to
Pittsburg, arrest the fifteen men and
bring them to Topeka, unless they are
able to put up $500 bond each.
Those who are unable to give bond
will be brought to Topeka and locked
up in the county jail.
The procedure is an unusual one in
the supreme court, for it isn't often
necessary for the court to resort to
force to secure compliance with its or
ders. Some of the oldest officials of
the court could recollect no similar
proceeding.
The story of how the Pittsburg out
fit got itself into trouble is briefly this.
On July 5, 1907. the supreme court
rendered judgment Of custer against
Gals, prohibiting them from licensing
joints.
On December 90, proceedings were
filed in the Supreme court by the
attorney general charging a lot OF city
officials. jointists and others with con-
the joint keepers had deposited money
in a certain bank to the credit Of
Frank Linski, a go-between. Linski
then drew his personal checks on this
account and paid off the fire depart
meT1t and other city employees. All
these citations for contempt were duly
served by the sheriff of Crawford
county
The fifteen parties for whom at
tachments have been issued are now
charged not only with violating the
courts writ of custer, but Of contempt
for the courts citation for contempt,
for they have paid no attention to
either one.
The application to the court for the
writ of attachment was made several
days ago by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral John s. Dawson. The court did
not allow the order at once, because
several of the members. were out of
town, and it was desired to secure a
full expression on such an important
proceeding. When the court did get
together, the order was issued, and
Mr.. Niles promptly sent to Pittsburg
to execute it.
Mr. Niles is in Pittsburg today, and
no doubt has most Of his victims in
the tolls.
1t is said that some of the parties
for whom attachments have been is
sued have decamped. and are no long
er in the Jurisdiction Of the supreme
court. Those who are still in Pitts
burg will probably put up the $500
bond. They will either have to come
before the supreme court on July l.
and explain their unusual contempt
or sacrifice their $500, and be again
subject to arrest.

RED MEN RAID TREASURY.
Three Get Away with S215,OOO Of
Uncle Sans Funds.

Three big "Injuns' walked into the
Treasury Department yesterday, and, in
single file. as if on the warpeth. silently
made their way along the corridors until
they reached the disbursng office.
Just silently, and again in single file,
they returned along the same corridors
and into the street, having in their pos
session this time $2l5OOO.
The Indians are Mexican Kickapoos,
and their names are Okuma. Martin Bent
ley, and Frank Thackery, and their
picturesque costumes have attracted at
tention in Washington for several days.
All wear their hair long, and moccaslns
on their feet. Despite the torrid weather,
Okuma, who halls from old Mexico. wore
"a heavy red blanket, draped from his
waist so that il resembled an abbreviated
petticoat
The raid made by the trio on the
Treasury was authorized by an appropri.
alton bill passed by Congress. The MeX-
can Kickapoos are divided into two
bends. one of which lives in Oklahoma
and the other IN old Mexico. The govern
ment has owed the Kickapoos money
the debt growing out Of a treaty signed
many years ago. and after long-continueC
negotiations, the Indians agreed to set
tie for S2l5OOO. which Congress appro-
priated, and it is to be divided among
them.
The three Indians who received ,h(
money were appointed by council OF theil
