Leavenworth Prosecuted and NIaligned,
Her Mayor Says.

Leavenworth, Kan. Aug. 28.-"I
see," said Mayor Doege, that We are
being criticised about the liquor situa-
ton in Leavenworth again. When
things get a little dull over the state,
it occurs to somebody to point to Leav-
enworth and deplore.
fright now, with regard to violation
of the liquor laws, Leavenworth is as
clean as it ever has been and ever viii
be- Liquor is sold, but it is done by
stealth. There are none of the joints
that used to exist.
1T is a fact that men are picked up
drunk on the streets of Leavenworth-
That does not signify that they bought
their liquor here. There are cars run
ming to Kansas City every hour. and
the supply of liquor there is unlimit-
ed. I shall not be in the least afraid
to make a comparison of our police
court records with those of Wichita or
Topeka. I haven't a doubt they viii
show less drunkenness in Leavenworth
than in either of the other cities, popu-
1ation considered.

ing its duty. Nobody is being given
any immunity. If there is such case.

SURPRISED AT KEMP.
Lawrence Understands Mrs. Sinclair
Has Taken Boarder.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. est is
simply frame-up for advertising pur-
poses" said a well known Lawrence
man while discussing the sensational
charges made by Upton Sinclair, the
author. who is about to bring suit Tor
divorce against his wife, naming harry
Kemp as correspondent.
Both Sinclair and Kemp are crazy
over publicity, which is meat and
drink to their souls. and if Mrs Sin
clair is about to go on the stage, as
the charges state. she is probably in
terested in the publicity. which Is a
valuable asset when it comes to the
footlights.
'sWhen it comes to naming Kemp as
a man for whom a woman would de-
sert her happy home, it is to laugh
Some of his fond admirers might pick
him out for Milton, a Socrates, or an
Emma Goldman, but never for a gay
LothariO.
kemp never had more than one
pair Of trousers at a time in his life,
and they generally were decorated
with skylights in the rear. 1t has been
a question with him to bet meal tick
cts and the support Of Wife would
necessitate work something which
Kemp abhors. If Mrs. Sinclair has
actually chosen Kemp, it means she
has taken life boarder, and viii have
to do the providing for the family.

THEY NEARLY SAW WALSH.
Two Kansas Women Fixed Up Fine
Tale for Warden.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 2s.-Two
women visitors at the federal peniten-
tiary were nearly successful in catch
ing a glimpse of John r. Walsh by
means of a. clever ruse.
Nearly every visitor at the big prison
asks to see Walsh and several attempts
have been made to gain admittance to
the record clerks Office where the
noted prisoner works.
The women are Mrs. Anna Jarkin
and friend from Oskaloosa, Kansas.
BY applying for visitors passes they
were allowed to enter the prison, and
We're shown around by a guide. once
inside they inquired for Walsh but
were informed that visitors We're not
allowed to see prisoners without a pass
from the warden.
They Immediately requested an
audience with Warden McClaughry-
He consented and after telling him
plausible story about the friendship
between Mr.. Walsh and the dead faith
ed of one Of the women. he sent word
to Walsh that the women wished to
see him and that he might come down
to the office.
Mr.. Walsh OWNED the purpose of
the women and he refused to see the
visitors.

on the Chisholm Trail.
Mr.. Anderson used the main CHS
holm trail as did the other Texas
drOVers in bringing their herds north
The Chisholm trail was so named
because it was first used and broke
through" by Texas cattleman named
Chisholm.
There was good money in cattle
driving in the latter sos and early
'70s.' remarked Mr.. Anderson. I
bought cattle in western Texas Tor
from 81 to IS a head. 1t would cost
US about 81 a head to drive them
through to Kansas. We would get
from 81 to $50 a head for them at
Abilene. In 1868 the price that cattle
sold for in Texas was spoken Of as
dollar a head
1T took two to three months to
drive a herd through. We would let
the cattle Craze and fatten along the
trail. There was a world of space
as the whole country was open, and
the cattle drovers were always willing
to give the other fellow a chance at
the water.
the average sized herd was 1900 to
1500 cattle. Sometimes herds would
be driven through of not more than
500 or 1000. 1 saw one herd brought
through by d man named Hutchinson
consisting of 1000 head. It was the
largest herd I ever knew of. But it
was TOO bulky to handle.
No Trouble With Indians.
I'VE had very little trouble with
the Indians Some times we would
run across big bands of them but by
using good Judgment and giving them
presents we avoided conflict with them.

enne warriors stopped my herd. The
chief demanded six beeves. 1 gave him
them and some presents beside l
asked him in turn to see that his
young braves didn't do any stealing.
He kept his word. I never had any
further trouble
There was big money in the cattle
droVing business and Mr. Anderson
amassed fortune. He had lost every
thing during the civil war, as did so
many southerners. but he came to
Kansas in the early '70s, left the old
Chisholm trail to engage in ranching

men who tried the replevin suit of
Thomas Mccoy against DIR. Adam Fl.
Kalbach, in October last, was unduly
Influenced in arriving at the verdict,
and the court was asked to issue a
rule on the defendants to take testi-
mony concerning this matter. Judge
Bittenger said he would grant the
rule, but would withhold the formal
order until Monday morning.
The suit in question was one insti-
tuted by Mccoy against DR.. Kalbach,
Of Lancaster, to recover the value of
six-mule team, which Mccoy claim
ed to own and which was taken from
him by Constable III. X. Fickes upon
the assumption that Mccoy had stol-

tried last fall and the jury decided
that DR.. Kalbach was the owner and
Mccoy was not entitled to damages
for its detention.
