through the Des Moines tender
loin. That was the beginning
of the campaign in Des Moines.
From then until the present
time the matter was more or
less of public interest and the
reform workers who heard her
and were with her on that trip
in July kept tine matter stirred
u.o until Superintendent Ham
ery's police and detective de-
plrtments were put to work on
evidence.
AWAKENING OF DEs MONIES
Many of the temperance wo-
men not only heard Mrs. Nation
from the platform, but talked
with her personally of her trip
and what she had learned. A
number Of these women were
among the first to meet and
offer advice to Mr.. Hamery
when he finally took his action.
"lt was Carry Nation who
awoke Des Moines to see
what the white slavery really
is" said j. B. Hammond yester-
day. ''It was she who told
fearlessly what she had learned
People knew she was talking
about something she had seen
for herself. She had visited
hundreds of dives in other ci-
ties and she said Des Moines
was second to none. Des
Moines would never have done
anything if she had not told
just what she had learned"

On September Is. 1908, Des
Moines, Iowa, through the eff
forts OF Alderman ]. L. Ham
cry, closed every questionable
house in the city for the first
time since Des Moines was re-
ally a city and also compelled
every saloon in the city to
obey the letter of the law. In
referring to this the Register
and Leader of Oct. 4th says in
part:
Garry Nation is responsible
for Superintendent Hamery's
reform order.
This is the opinion held by
those who talked with the Kan
sas joint smasher when she was
in DeS MolneS last summer and
visited the resorts of Des
Moines in company with re-
form workers and newspaper
reporters. j. B. Hammond,
chairman of the party prohibi-
tionists' state committee, de-
clares that the visit of Mrs.
Nation to the old red light dis
trict of Des Moines was the
first step in the present crusade
and that Superintendent Ham
cry took up the work as out
lined by her, and followed up
the evidence that was first un.
earthed by Mrs. Nation when
she asked the various women;
"How much rent do you pay
for this placer"
"Who do you rent this place
from?"
"When you are arrested and
released on bond, who furnish
es the hond?"
GLOW much do you have to
pay the hondsmen?'
"Much has been said of Mrs.
Nation and much has been said
against her." declared Mr..
Hammond. cit is constantly
charged that her acts have nc
satisfactory results. Ii this
present crusade succeeds and
Des Moines is freed from the
social evil, Carry Nation can
be thanked, for it was she who
started it,"

age Of the K. of P. session last
evening at the beautiful new

most enjoyable evening as a re-

for entertaining purpose as a
variety of amusements can be
indulged in. Several of the
Ladies tried their skill at pool
and billiards but there was no
chance for argument over the
scores as no one succeeded in
making a point. Whist and
dancing was also INDUCED in by
those so inclined. Frappe was
served in the dance hall, at
midnight, refreshments were
served by the committee in
charge after which the social
was a thing of the past. These
sessions are very popular and

RADIO Desert.

san BernardinO, Cal, Oct. S.-Willle
Boy, the fugitive Indian murderer,
who killed his abducted sweetheart,
after Staying her father, has engaged
Sheriff Ralphs' posse in a rifle battle
at an isolated place on the desert
known as Mesquite Wells. 81 miles
northeast of Whitewater, station on
the Southern Pacific. The sheriff lost
seven horses, all but one animal with
the party, and Chas Roche, a deputy
sheriff of Banning, was wounded. De-
putty Sheriff Book rode to the near
est railroad station to summon sur
geon from this city.
Deputy sheriff Roche is shot
through the thigh and badly wounded.
He fell at the first fire from the In
dams rifle. when the. posse suddenly
ran upon him in ambush on the peak
of a hill Willie Boy dropped three of
the officers horses with a rain of bull
let's that drove the men to cover In
their exposed position the sheriff's
men had small chance against the
well-intrenched and well-armed des-
perado.
Quickly the two pursuing posses
combined ana deployed, the men sur
rounded Bullion Peak on the summit
of which the Indian lay concealed. 1t
is believed he has but little water and
only a small amount of ammunition
A battle is expected and unless q
chance shot ends the Indians life it is
likely that there will be moro casu-
alties to the posse.
