depart from the land in peace with
their families. To those who were
filed with fearful forebodings fol
their future fate, and all were panic
stricken, these assurances brought
great relief. Clark gave the GROWING
touch to their happiness when he told
i the parish priest, Father Pierre
Gibault, in answer to a ques
ton as to whether the Cath
Ollie church could be opened,
that an American commander had
nothing to do with any church save
to defend it from insult, and ths by
the laws of the republic his religion
had as great privileges as any other.
History tells us that with this they
all returned in noisy joy to their fam
lies, while the priest. man of ability
and influence, became thenceforth a
devoted and effective champion of the
American cause.
Clark next sent small force to
Cahokia and took possession of the
place. A little later Father Gibault
went to Vincennes and induced the
entire population there to take the
oath of allegiance But Clark could
not spare any troops to garrison the
latter place, and it was captured on
the 18th of December by a British
force of III whites and sixty Indians
from Detroit. The taking of Vim
cennes by Clark by force of arms is
too long story to repeat in this con-
nection. On the 18th of February at
the head OF ITO men he started over
land from Kaskaskia for Vincennes,
distance of 240 miles by the route
he had to travel. After suffering al
most incredible hardships and over
coming apparently insurmountable diff
ficulties, he reached vincennes and
captured the place after severe fight
ing. The British commander left on
record his bitter modification at hav-
ing to yield the fort 'to set of I'M
civilized Virginia woodsmen armed
with rifles
Clark's capture of Vincennes is de-
clared by historians to have been the
most memorable of all the deeds done
west of the Alleghanies in the Revolu-
tionary war. 1t was likewise the most
important in its results Had he been
defeated we would not only have lost
but Kentucky also. Clark
soon received some small reinforce. |
ments and was able to establish per- /
garrisons at Vincennes, Kas-
kaskia and Cahokia 1t is said of him .
that his own men worshipped him. !
the French loved and stood in awe of I
him, while the Indians respected and I
feared him greatly. Alone and with
the very slenderest means he con-
quered and held a vast and beautiful
region, which but for him would /
have formed part of foreign and hos |
tile empire. He clothed and paid his /
soldiers with the spoils of his enemies, |
spent his fortune and risked his life, /
and the only reward he received for |
many years was sword voted him |
by the Virginia legislature. That re- !
publics are ungrateful was conclusive I
Iy demonstrated in the case of George I
Rogers Clark.

TUCKER HEARING IS ON.
Second Indictment Attacked Before
Judge AmidOn.

H. H. fuckers fight to down the in
dictment returned against him last
January by federal grand jury for
using the mails to defraud commenced
this afternoon at 2 o'clock before Judge
Charles F. Amidon of North Dakota In
the United States district court.
Tucker filed a demurrer to the in
dictment and the hearing was had hrst
on this demurrer.
The indictment was attacked at ev-
cry turn of the road.
IT claim that the defendant is due
to know the exact date when he made
these fraudulent statements said AL
bert Wilson, fuckers attorney.
when did he know that this COM
pany was not the owner of oil pro-
ducing property of great wealth. The
exact time should be given.
rs not the indictment SO vague ano
uncertain on the face of 1T that the
defendant should not go to trial?
This allegation does not state how
the scheme to defraud was devised
There is no description given of the de-
that shows a scheme OF converting the
money to his own use.
IAN Indictment must be definite ant
| certain-the law so states it. And thl:
| indictment is not definite or certain
| Wilson then attacked the indictmen
| because it failed to state in giving thu
history of the company's organization
that the SIS, 900, 900 capital was capita
| stock That because the statement wa
| made that it was capital implied tina
| the company had that much money O
assets and could therefore not be
| fraud.

One for Use As Fire Truck in Second
Ward.

A war is going to be made on the
cigar slot machines, about thirty OF
which have been instaEed IN various
business houses over the city, by the
city council.
focal manufacturers or cigars are
hacL Of the movement which they say
cuts into their trade here IN an unfalr
manner. :. ~
The machines are owned in the
east and are placed In free OF cnaise
already stocked with cigars with
every merchant that cares for them.
THE merchant for the privileges
which he extends, receives IL IL per
cent on every sale made.
There is no way by Whlcn the
machines can be assessed as property
locally since they are owned py par
ties living outside of the state. The
cJoar manufacturers say that the
council should impose some sort OF a
license tax on the machines whlcn
would bring them within the barrier.
Councilman Lannan or the SECOND
ward will present the matter TO the
city council this evening.
Topeka may have an automobile
chemical engine at the proposed new
fire station in the Second ward. A
new type of automobile fire hghtlng
apparatus has been evo1ved which re-
sembles touring car In appearance
out fires in their incipient stage. 1t
carries several large tanks charged
with fire extinguishing chemicals, nose
and all the other requisites. Whie
the first cost is considerably greater II
is believed that the maintenance cost
would not prove to be IS expensive,
and IL Is further believed by some OF
the councilmen interested that the
number of employees would not be
necessarily as large The cost OF the
fire station could be somewhat re-
duced since not so much room Is
needed where an automobile is used
as where stable room for horses mus
be provided.
The estimate on the cost of the new
station has not yet been maze
Though Chief Wilmarth announced
today that he would make an inspec
ton of the territory and desirable
sites and submit an estimate shortly

are talking of Offering two lots as

already pitched and won one game for
the Colonels and is regarded as one OF
the best pitchers on the staff. He held
Milwaukee down to a to 1 score ana
would have scored a shutout but Tor
his own wild pitch. Olson is still re-
tanned by the Louisville team, contrary
to the reported transfer to Denver, and
will play utility role or else be placed
with some other team. Olson has won
a home there and the fans are clamor-

FIRST Pure DRUG CASE.

which contained almost pure cocaine.
The alleged sale was made to a

who suspected the trips made up town
by the trusty, met Dutton on his re-
turn from one of these trips, and thor
oughly searched him. In buttons hat

envelop bearing the legend. Or.
