INNOCENT MAN
WIN 8 BATTLE
FOR FREEDOM
Sentenced to Life Term,
He Gains Liberty After
Ten Years.
SENT UP FOR ROBBERY
Fugitive Held Him Up;
Posse Caught Both;
Jail Stormed.

Lincoln, Neb., April 20.-R. G..
Lukens is to be freed from the Ne
: braske state penitentiary today, it is
reported.
Ten years ago he was sent there for
life on a charge of completely in a
murder and bank robbery at Sunol,
Neb., and during those ten years he
has kept up his fight for freedom and
to prove that he was guiltless of the
charge.
His sentence was committed by the
state board of pardons and paroles to
ten years, which expired today after
the county attorney, who helped prose-
cute him and many others. including
former Governor Sproul of Pennsyl-
vania, had helped him in his effort for
freedom.
Fight for Freedom.
No sooner had Lukens been placed
in prison than he began his fight for
liberty, but he needed money, so he
resorted to study to get it, taking three
courses of advertising by correspond
ence.
These he completed, and he began to
realize profits from his advertising
skill.
Lukens was sentenced with Frank
Council. According to Lukens' YER
sion of the affair, he and Council
drove into Sunol thu day of the bank
robbery in an automobile from Colo
RADIO.
Lukens, a photograph salesman,
started out to call on some prospective
customers when he learned that the
bank had been robbed. He joined
posses that were formed.
Cornell darted out of corn field,
damned a gun into his face and or
dered him to jump into an automobile
and drive him up the road, he said.
Two farmers had been shot.
Mob Stormed Jail.
A posse caught both as they fled
down the road. That night a mob
that stormed the Jail nearly succeeded
in getting its hands on the men, who
received their sentences after trial
short time later, Lukens pleading not
guilty. =,

with an attempted appeal to the State

Newest Daugherty Injunc-
ton Intended to Stop
Speculative Juggling.
COURT DECISION AIDS
Disturbing Fluctuations"
Not Responsive to Sup
ply and Demand.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. by The san Antonio Light.
Washington. ID. C.. April :0.-An-
other Daugherty injunction, destined
to become as historic as the famous
process employed TO get transporta-
ton for the American people a year
ago, has just been filed to enable the
consumer TO get a lower price for
sugar.
This marks a departure in the use
of the injunction process and while
the Department of Justice feels that
its case rests on solid ground, the
federal judiciary will have to deter
mine whether relief for the public
from speculation in sugar cal be af-
fordcd through the courts.
TIE action taken by Attorney Cen
cral Daugherty through his assist
ants in New York and Washington
was of course, thoroughly approved
by President Harding and the cabi-
net and represents the administra-
tons answer 10 the cry of the La
Toilette group and the Democrats
WHO lately have requested that the
tIuLts -.hSSuAuuCl ldAlAL VI buS
speculative operations of sugar trad
ers were sending the prices OF sugar
sayward.
Spurred on by the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
few days ago UNFOLDING the consti-
tutionality of the act of Congress re.
lating to speculation in grain futures,
the Department of Justice feels that
its petition TO stop sugar speculation
is based upon logic and law equally
forceful.

ton and that the speculative process
did the rest, but the administration
hopes by its legal action TO put all
end 10 speculation altogether so far
as it relates to sugar. Criminal
prosecution is under consideration,
too. and the strategy of the govern
ment is to obtain a drop in sugar
prices by psychological if not by court
action. for the argument over the lat
ter will take many months and may
ultimately have TO be carried to the
highest court in the land as, no doubt
the sugar spectators will contend as
did the board of trade in Chicago,
that dealings in futures is done by
spectators who make n study of the
market conditions affecting price and
trade to profit by their judgment as
to future prices.
The evolution of the injunction in
Americas economic and industrial
history ever since the Sherman law
was put on the statute books in 1890
is significant. First. the injunction
was used to stop the Pullman railway
strike of 1894. Then Attorney Gen
eral Palmer used the injunction to get
coal for the American people, basing
his action on the wartime Lever law.
Attorney General Daugherty went
back TO the Sherman law to stop the
shopmen's STRIFE and insure trans
portation for the American people.
Now he is trying to use the injunc-
t:on 10 give the consumer food at n

The FUR MARKET

More than $50 buyers represent
ing the strongest fur interests of the
world entered actively into the bid
ding at the opening of the recent
spring auction sale of furs in st.
Louis and continued buying not only
late into the evenings of the two days
set aside for the sales but remained
over an extra day to get an oppor-
tunity to bid for every type of fur
listed.
AS usual the keenest interest was
shown in the bidding for the Alaska
sealskin offering of the United States
government. The large offering of
1918 dressed, dyed, machined and
finished skins brought a total of
$4,000 in less than three hours
selling. The ever increasing demand
for Alaska sealskins is a tribute to
the efficiency Of the government in
the management of it's extensive fur
properties on the far-off Pribilof
Islands. Incompatible in beauty and
ease of handling, these skins natural
ly command the favor not only of
the manufacturer and designer, but
of the discriminating of furs
we'll.
P. B. Fouke, head of the Fouke
Fur company, st. Louis, personally
auctioned the offerings of the United
States government. Henry O'Malley,
commissioner of fisheries, and Ste
phen B. Davis, solicitor for the de-
partment of commerce, were present
at the sale in the interests of the
government.
Following the sale of government
furs, the Fur Merchants Sales COM
pany took the auction stand and pro-
ceeded with the sale of furs from all
over the world. The skins of musk

sum from the country districts and

got the copy and the address was in
type, the proofs read and corrected
and the matter made up before the
celebration.
There were less than twenty-four
hours remaining for me to fit my
self to take the address in short
hand. I got note books and learned
to write a half dozen or more char
acters, and when the judge arose to
deliver his address I sat at a table
just back of him and made pot hooks
as fast as he spoke. The note books
were as ineligible as the letters the
three-year-old kiddies write, but that
was another secret. AS soon as he
had finished, I told the judge that
the notes would be transcribed at
once, give the copy to the printers
and send him the proofs. These
we're sent and came back with his
o. X.
There was a man in the audience
who came to me after the speaking
to ask what system I wrote. When
told, he said he regretted that he had
not come prepared to take the speech
and further informed me that he
wrote the same system. I lost that
chap pronto, and was very careful to
see that he did not get an opportun-
ity to look at my notes.
When the Courier came out with
the story of the celebration, includ-
ing the address, Major Anderson was
the recipient of compliments, and my
friends of the Chronicle were among
the first to congratulate me.
The manne of my getting that
address would have remained a se-l
cret until now were it not for the
that at a banquet some six
months later at which the publish
ers of the Chronicle and Judge Ma
guire were present, the Judge grew
reminiscent and told of newspaper
scoops, and among these was the
story of how his railroad celebration

mere were two newspapers pub
ilsned in Bozeman when the North
ern Pacific railroad was under con-
struction in Montana, and the Gala
TIN valley metropolis was the end of
the track for some time. Order was
preserved as a whole, and yet the
town was wide open. Railroad
workers, soldiers from Fort Ellis and
soldiers of fortune from everywhere
and residents of the valley we're
dairy and nightly visitors. They
were good spenders when they had
the price, and they got action on
their money at the gambling tables
and in other ways. Captain John
Smith came from somewhere and
erected the largest building of its
Kind in the city, for the sale of Ii
quid groceries and for gambling.
The rooms were lavishly furnished,
thousands of dollars having been
spent for fixtures and among these
was a large statue of Mercury, which
stood at the end of the bar over a
large safe.
AS editor of the Avant Courier at
the time, a part of my duties con-
sisted of gathering local news. While
on this quest one evening, / went
into Smiths place and stopped to
talk to an acquaintance. We were
standing close to the statue of the
son of Jupiter and Maia, when two
shots rang out. I saw at a glance
the men who were doing the shoot
ing, and this was obtained as 1 vault
ed the railing and took refuge back
OF the safe, where two other men had
preceded me. AS I recall there were
two more shots fired, and then fol-
lowed the quiet which always comes,
and we who were in hiding ventured
forth. The principals in the affair
were named Hoppe and Walters.
Patsy Walters lay upon the floor.
A cursory examination showed that
he had been shot, in the abdomen.
Hoppe was unhurt. His first shot
had hit the tripper guard on Wal
ters' gun and rendered it useless.
The latter shot but once, and it SEEM
ed that the first shots were stimuli
1t was the second or third
shot that put Walters down. He was
to his room nearby and Doc
tor Foster called. The doctor was
my next door neighbor, and when he
made a second visit to the wounded
man he asked me to accompany him.
Walters was unconscious and beyond
human aid, according to the physi-
clan. He was bleeding internally,
Ind death was imminent. The end
came in a few hours.

When the coming of the notables
to witness the driving of the golden
spike was announced, the special
trains carrying the visitors from the
east were scheduled to arrive in
BOzeman at 900 a. NJ, and prepara-
lions were made to receive them and
entertain them during their stay.
The two weekly papers, the Courier
and the Chronicle, arranged for the
full Associated Press dispatches for
the day, the headings were changed
from weekly to daily, and large edi-
lions printed. We had all the latest
world happenings in type for our
visitors and this called forth many
favorable comments regarding the
enterprise of the publishers.
The trains were to make a stop of
three hours, and a display of Gala
tin valley products was made at the
depot. With the other exhibits was
that of Spieth & Krug, brewers, and
a number of cases of their bottled
goods were exhibited. Carter Harri-
son, mayor of Chicago, was among
those present. AS he walked along
the platform he saw the Spieth &
Krug section, and said: "Ahi Sam
pies! Well, well; we'll see how they
TASTE" and a bottle went into each
of his ceat pockets, two others were
tucked under his arms and two adj
ditional ones carried in his hands.
There were co%nveyances in waiting
to carry the visitors through the city,
and many availed themselves of the
opportunity to view the business and
sections. General Grant
was among these.
When the date of the driving of
the golden spike was announced, the
Bozeman people decided to celebrate
the completion of the railroad in a
manner. Judge H. N. Ma
guire, who was the publisher of the
first newspaper in Bozeman - The
Pick and Plow-was to be orator of
the day. He was a fluent, graceful
and a speaker of ability. He
wrote out his addresses and
memorized them. He was possessed
a wonderfully retentive memory
and his speech was a reproduction
