SPlKING EAGLES
PUNCH REMAINS
DEEP MYSTERY

If Bert Oliver spiked the punch at
the Eagles ball a year ago last Feb
ruary, Mr.. Goppert vas unable to
prove it. After n few infants like
Carl Armstrong and the McEachron
kid had told conflicting stories as to
what happened and the prosecuting
ptt9rney saw his ease fizzle, he made
n notion to have the case dismissed
Ia Wednesday and the Judge readily
.yreed thot il was the proper thing
TO do in the circumstances. Judge
Metz st-ted. however, That the time
honored custom Of saiking the punch
at Cody functions was re~prehensible
and should be discouraged.

II. c. Bronze, of Basin, tried his
first criminal case in 10 years when
last week he defended Mike Mucklow
charged with grand larceny, and OBJ
tanned his acquittal.
We wish to state that this elderly
attorney is what is known in our
set as a "humbinger." He dignified
a COW stealing Ease into something
worth anybody's while to listen to.
Polished, logical, his mind working
with the sureness and rapidity of per-
feet machinery, each sentence edged
like a steel blade, he was a revelation
to many present who never had heard
an attorney of his ability and expert
ence.
With the joy of battle cleaning and
sparkling in his eyes when he warmed
to his work in earnest, and a funny
little quirk at the rne of his
as much entertainment in it all as
anybody; light, and with a peculiarly
forceful grace of gesture and move
ment, he was nearly as fascinating to
watch as to hear.
And when he had finished his
speech to the jury, we could have
wept-sobbed in our handkerchief
to think that anyone could yer have
believed for a moment that Mike
Mucklow stole that brindied steer and
the cow with the ring around its eye,
from Joe Ganguet.
Mr.. Bronze vas reckoned one of the
leaders of the bar in Omaha, and its
most brilliant trial lawyer at the time
he practiced there, so there is good
reason for u quite unusual outburst
of enthusiasm and our emphatic dec
laration that he is a "humdinger."

present at the recent Buffalo Bill
banquet thought they heard a hollow
sound, something like a groan, when
our estimable fellow townsman, Dave
Jones, the local haberdasher, propos-
ed a toast to ]. M. Schwoob, in ice
water. 1t may not have been the
ghost of the Colonel giving vent to
its anguish, but, nevertheless, we
shall always believe that at that mo-
ment Buffalo Bill turned over in his
coffin on top of Lookout Mountain.
Another honorable profession has
received a setback as a result of the
present mania for regulation. From
perusing the New York Clipper we
learn that wild men who travel with
circuses are no longer allowed to eat
raw meat in public to prove their
wildness.
B~ootlegging is an occupation which,
like raising mushrooms in the cellar
or operating a knitting machine, may
be carried on by delicate women and
invalids to earn pin-money or add to
the family income. Down in Birming-
ham, Alabama, a paralytic who has
not moved for years as a result of an
accident, was taken to the county Jail
on a stretcher charged with boot
Logging.
Speaking of penitentiariesj and pro-
hibition officers reminds us that the
former proprietor of the Alamo Hotel,
in Greybull, who is now in Leaven-
worth for violating liquor and mar
cotic laws, has for his cell-mate a fed
eral prohibition officer who was given
years by his Uncle Sam for be
ing naughty. Prohibition, ike poll
tics, make strange bedfellows.

He u.s." Peck said.
Senator Wheeler asked if "a man
named Todd, former law partner of
Mr.. Daugherty," hadn't been working
on the case. Peck refused to say,
remarking the report was hearsay."
Asked by Chairman Brookhart to
suggest witnesses the committee
could call in the Miller case, Peck
again named Senator Harreld.
Asked of Net Result.
Senator Ashurst slted Peck if the
net result of the transactions de-
scribed did not mean that the Miller
group obtained land worth a quarter
Of million or more for "a $4,000
fine"
"That's it," said Peck.
What was the price originally paid
by the Miller brothers for these
lands to the 1ndians?" asked Senator
Ashurst.
Peck explained that the Miller
charge against each Indian, making
an exact computation difficult. The
witness then left the stand.

by j. Van Vechten Olcott as having
suggested a payment for "the boys"

Wilson described conversations
with Olcott regarding the judgeship
and said he also saw" certain dis

ment for Olcott.

that Olcott had said $4,000 was de-
manded from him in consideration
for an appointment.
Nothing like that was said" Will

Expected Civil Suit.
THE United States Judge in SEN
fencing them said he made the pen
alties fines because the government
would undoubtedly bring civil suits
to recover the lands for the Indians"
Peck said. and for that reason the
penalty would be adequate. How
ever, the civil suits were never
brought. The Miller brothers are
sun IN possession of the land. Oil

places"
Counsel for Daugherty asked if a

not IN course of preparation"
That would be news to me-. Peck
replied
Peck said he had no personal
knowledge as to why the civil suits
were not pushed. He wrote a report
TO the Department OF Justice, he said,
saying that Oklahoma people felt the
Miller Brothers were able to cscap pc

Peck agreed that suits to recover
the lands could be brought at any

agreed, saying he expected to show that
large sums of money had been spent
to obtain a "complacent" Secretary
of the Interior for exploitation of
the public domain, and especially the
oil lands. Replying to specific
question from Senator Stanfield, Sen
ator Walsh said he expected to show
there was a conspiracy for the ap-
pointment of a Secretary of the In

That led to a long wrangle.

Senator Walsh wanted to know
what Hamon expected as a result of
such an expenditure. and the witness
