refused. She then left town and mar
tial law Wg declared, all the Baloons
were seled. and the city officials
plai ed undi r arrest.
Miss Kern Hobbs, Governor West'e
private secretary, did not declare mar
tial law. Her only connection with
the gggg was to demand of the mayor

blank resignations. This they declin
ed to do, and then It wiib that Colonel
Lawson took control and read to the
assembled multitude the proclama
tion of martini law which he had
brought with him from Salem.

gaged In serving Injunctions on mem
bers of the militia to prevent them
hipping confiscated liquors and bar

right on loading the contraband goods
on the train.

tures shipped to Maker, but there was
a wealth of gambling paraphernalia,
consisting of cards and dire, three
roulette wheels, one "monte" layout
and three money slot machines with
the money, IS, still In them.
The city officials who have been
under arrest were released by Colonel
Lawson, hut the town remained under
