IN NORTH TOPEKA
BOOtIeggers Are Causing Police
Officers Trouble.
Kaw Valley Grange to Hold
Meeting Friday Night.

The North side police are on the
lookout for two flashily dressed ne
groes who are reported to be bootleg
cling wet goods into Topeka. Several
times this week they have arrived in
North Topeka and got off the train at
the Santa Fe Junction. On one occa-
sion they went into the cattle yards
near the junction and deposited their
stock until jitney called for them.
A resident of the neighborhood
phoned the police, who followed the
iitnev and its occupants and searched
the house where they stopped but
nothing was found A ruse was work
ed by the purveyors of iquor-they
went into the house and left by the
back way. Several houses in the
neighborhOod were searched but no
liquor was found. The OriginatOrs of
the plan arrive on the same train each
time and use the same method to
dodge the police officers and reach
the south side.s
Kaw Valley Grange Meeting.
A meeting will be held Friday even
ing July 8, by the Kaw Valley Grange,
at the grange hall in Granville. The
program will be in charge of three of
the grange officers, Ceres, who is Miss
Agnes Detlor; Pomona, who is Miss
Gertrude Yenkey, and Flora, Miss
Nora Beeler.
Road Needs Repairing.
The county road leading east from
Central avenue, four miles north of
town, is causing much trouble to
motorists and teams. One spot about
fifteen feet long is nothing but deep
ruts. There is no way a team or
auto can drive around this bad stretch.
In some places it is nearly impossible
for a car to be driven through. The
ruts allow the wheels to sink SO deep
that the running boards of the auto
scrape the road. The farmers having
to travel this road are wondering what
is the matter with the road overseer
or township officers that they have
done nothing to remedy this place.
