LEGATION is contained in an order is
sued by Judge Trieber of the United
States court. ordering a public sale of
the four race horses, the Angora goat
and the two cocker spaniels captured
in tie raid on the mansion occupied
by the arrested men. J. A. Cavanaugh,

ty under attachment. Cavanaugh went

Make Answer to BaIlew's Suit.
j. G.. Maybray, F. NJ. Clark and Isa-
dore ]. Warner, the trio in Jail at Lit
tie Rock, have filled their answer to
the suit brought by T. w. Ballew, of
Princeton, Mo-, seeking to recover $780,
900 which Ballew alleges they extract
ed from him. In the answer denial Is
made that the defendants owe Ballew
$4,000 or any part Of such sum that
they secured from him in October,
1908, without consideration.
The defendants claim also that the
sum Of money, about $4,000, which was

NIT ownership of the personal proper
ty taken at the same time. The "red"
which has figured so
largely and numerously in. the history
of these cases, together with the driv-
ing horse, carriage, ETC., they claim Is
the personal property of Mrs. May
bray. The money they claim belongs
to Mrs. Clark.
Maybray is Guarded Closely.
Acting upon some information which
the court has not disclosed, Maybray,
in pursuance of orders issued by Judge
Trieber, is being closely guarded and
the district attorney has also issued
orders shutting off all visitors to May
bray except his attorneys, the order
including Maybray's wife and other
female members of the party who are
still in Little Rock. Certain develop
ments in Council Bluffs, Little Rock
and other parts of the country, and
the activities of alleged members Of
the syndicate, apparently under orders
from headquarters, is said to be the
leading cause for these orders of strict
seclusion for Maybray.
