Latest Kansas Events.
In Jail for Keeping still.

Wylie Hooper, farmer of Geary
county, was placed in Jail at. Junction
City charged with contempt of court
for refusal to give the names of per
sons from whom he had purchased
liquor in violation of the prohibitory
law. This is believed to be the first
case in which a man has been sent to
jail since the new state law author
izing the county attorney to conduct
inquisitions has been effective. Hoop
er was subpoenaed at the order of J.
V. Humphrey, county attorney, to tes-
tify at an inquisition conducted for the
purpose of locating the source of sup
ply from which a great many persons
had been getting whisky. Hooper
testified that he had bought whisky
several times within the past week,
but he refused to give the names of
the persons from whom he made the
purchases. He was taken before JUS
tice Dinsmore and sentenced to Jail
for contempt of court. Under the law
he can be kept in confinement until he
concludes to give the county attorney
the information of which he is in
search.

liar case of religious fanaticism which
has been called to his attention by
H B. Grubbs, trustee of Grove town
ship Out near Langdon there has
sprung up a religious sect calling
themselves the True Followers" the
chief tenet of whose creed is the
alteration of serpents. According to
Mr.. Grubbs these people fondle even
the most poisonous reptiles and do
not hesitate to allow the snakes to bite
them. One man, John Atkinson, is
said to have a Shriveled arm as a re-
suit of a snake bite. The leader of the
peculiar sect is James white, who
came to the county lately from Grant
