Hudson SquabbIe Continues at
White Heat.
Editor Claims He Has Only
Begun to Fight.
GOOD JOKE ON BANK
Compelled to Use BOycOtted Pa
per in Printing Statement.
Three Men Who Figure in Riot
in Jail.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 12--killing
time in cells in the Reno county Jail
are three Stafford county men who
figured in the recent unpleasantness at
Hudson. There were originally five of
them, but two have paid fines and been
released from bondage
These Hudson men were participants
in the riot in which Editor H. b.
AlbertSon of the Hudson Patriot was
assaulted and threatened with mobbing
because of his participation IN p wet
and dry town row.
One of the men now in the Hutch
inson jail, Jess Jennings, still has
pretty sore head from a blow which
the editor gave him with a Winchester
rife.
The men have been in Jail here for
several weeks They may be here for
being held here because the county
Jail at St. John is inadequate to care
for them, and not because OF any rear
of mobbing.
OF the party of five Al Bigiey and
Jess Jennings were each fined $50 and
costs and 90 DAYS in jail and Charles
Mayhne Chef Johnson and Harrison
Butler each received fines Of $50
But Row Continues.
But the arrests of these participants
in the ''mob" and their incarcation IN
the Hutchinson 1ail have not ended the
Hudson episode Editor Albertson is
only beginning to get in the the nsht.
Because of his part in the town row
the Hudson merchants with rev ex-
ceptions are boycotting his paper.
The last issue of the Patriot was
well filed with advertising but with
the exception of a card from II barber
shop, all the advertising came from
ST. John and Stafford. None of the
Hudson merchants are patronl2Ing the
columns of the Patriot.
C. J. Powers, a local deputy con-
stable, who sided in with the town
editor in his recent trouble and who
runs a barber shop is also having his
share of difficulty with public sentt-
1nent in the town and a boycott has
also been declared against his tonsorIai
parlor by his enemies.
The Banks Explanation.
U. G. Charles, who recently was COM
PEELED to resign as mayor of Hudson
as a result of the town row, is cashier
of the Hudson State bank. According
TO law he had to publish his banks
statement in the local paper.
There is but one newspaper IN HuG-
son, and the Patriot, Notwithstanding
the boycott, got the statement. The
cashier sent an explanation, however
with an order that it be published IN
connection. 1t was, 1t is perhaps the.
first time in the history of the state
that g. bank has published anything OF
the kind. It follows:
"Explenation-:We are publishing
hank at the close of business on juno
7. 1911, in the Hudson Patriot, not be-
cause it is the choice of our board OF
directors for publication of the same,
but because it is in compliance with
the law"

GOES CUNNING Fo8 JUDGE.
Now Mrs. Wyant Will Be Tried on
Insanity Charge.

Ottawa, Kan. July LIT is the gen
eraI belief in Lebo that Judge J. Fl.
Sheldon owes an escape from bodily
harm if not the preservation of his life
to the fact that he does not remain In
his office Sundays.
Recently Judge Sheldon presided at
the hearing of a case in which j. n.
Wyant was a party, and the proceed
ings seem to have greatly affected Mrs.
Wyant. She appeared on the streets CT
the town Sunday last, armed with
winchester rifle, and went to the Of
flee of Judge Sheldon. She carefully
removed her rubber overshoes at the
foot of the stairs and made a stealthy
approach to the door, and was evidently
greatly disappointed and excited at
finding the office unOccupied.
The conclusion is that the woman IS
mentally affected, and proceedings vera
commenced to have her sanity legally
inquired into.

she also has a sum of money in the
