muck, sheriff of Cloud county, was in
a more serious frame of mind and he
went to the Office of the county attor-

buy booze right here in his home town.
The sheriffs we're late in reaching
Topeka. 1t was after o'clock before
they reached the court house and the
inquiry was not completed until late
in the afternoon. Beck declared he
was joking when he said that liquor
could be bought in Topeka and didn't
mean it at all. Dunnuck gave out ad-
vance notices before he left Concordia
