INDIANS TANK UP ON BOOZE
Officers Grab V. Senders Who il
Charged With Selling it to the
Indians.

In one of the boldest bootleggine
ventures ever attempted in this vic
unity v. Senders, resident of Lewis
ton, was arrested last night by Chief
of Police Grant Robbins and United
States Special Agent Crowder when in
the act of leaving town with the pro-
ceeds of a good days business.
1t appears that Senders had followed
the score of Nezperce Indians to Mos
cow from the reservation at the open
ing of the federal court here for the
purpose of keeping them supplied with
whiskey during the entire session. He
was under the suspicion of the offic-
ials all day yesterday who had no
ticed an apparently undue jollifica-
ton among the Nezperces who were
gathered about the federal building
and through an investigation it was
learned that the whiskey that had
been circulating had come from Send
Iers He was seen in the act of ex-
changing liquor for silver with one
redskin and several other Indians ad
mitted that they had purchased whis
key from him.
In some manner Chief Of Police Rob-
bins was informed that the prisoner
had some 43 quarts of liquor cashed |
in his room at the Del Norte hotel but |
on investigation only few empty bot
ties were to be found. 1t is supposed |
that he had learned that he was be-
ing watched and had packed the Ii
luor in the suitcase which he later
to Lewiston. The officials
At Lewiston have been wired to hold
he suitcase until further investiga-
ion can be made.
Vendors was arrested at about 8
,'c]ock when in the act of boarding
he evening train to lewiston He
vas lodged in the county Jail to await
urther instructions from the federal
authorities. !
Crowder did not present the case
o the grand jury this morning, though ,
t was stated that the evidence against
he defendant seemed conclusive. {

Competent to Enter Into Mar
riage Contract.

A complaint entitled Fred E. Rhodes
versus Nettie A. Rhodes has been filed
with the clerk of the district court
praying the annulment of a marriage
between the plaintiff and the defen-
dant. The complaint alleges that at
the time of the marriage which occur
red in Lewiston on December 8, 1912,
the defendant was of unsound mind
and therefore incapable of contracting
a marriage. A further allegation
urges that the defendant is still of un-
sound mind having recently been ad-
Indicated insane by the probate judge
of Nezperce county and committed to
the asylum at Orofino.
In addition to the prayer for the an
nulment of the marriage the plaintiff

liminary Hearing Set for
Tomorrow.

the right of possession of a number
Of hogs, Ralph Patterson and Bert
Ayers, residents of the Aver station
section, came near mixing in what
might have proved a fatal combat yes
terday. according to a report which

afternoon. 1t appears that Patterson
and Ayers who are almost next-door
neighbors have been having consid-
cradle trouble of late over the depre-
dations of the formers swine which
have been given more freedom in their
roamings than is generally allowed
creatures of their peculiar habits in
settled community. Ayers, it seems,
has on several occasions complained
of damages which he has suffered from
the invasion Of his premises by Patter-
sons hogs and has warned the latter
that it would be advisable for him to
limit the freedom of his swine to the
exterior boundaries of his own farm.
But when the hogs of Patterson con-
tinued to root up the fruits Of the la
bors of Ayers the latter Shut them
up" and then the trouble began in
Demanding the release of his
swine but failing to convince his
neighbor that such release should be
Patterson, so the story goes,
resorted to gun persuasion and threats
Of bodily harm. 1t is said that had
not Ayers mother interviewed the as
sault would likely have proved serious.
The sheriff's office learning of the
alterations phoned Patterson that his
presence in Moscow was desired and
without protest he reported at the ap-
pointed time this morning. He was re-
eased on his own recognizance
Ind will report for prelim-
nary hearing before Probate Judge
