She then left town and mar- tlal law was declared, all the saloons war« eelxed, and the olty officials placed under arrest. Miss Fern Holibs, Governor West's private secretary, did not declare mar tial law. Her only connection with the case was to demand of the mayor and other city officials that they sign blank resignations. This they declin ed to do, and then It was that Colonel Lawson took control and read to the assembled multitude the proclama tion of martial law which he had brought with him from Salem. Colonel Lawson flatly refused to recognise an Injunction against Gov ernor West's martial law order, which had been sent by telegraph to Bpeclal Deputy Sheriff U. 8. Jackson by Clr- oult Judge Anderson, of Maker. While a lone deputy sheriff waa en gaged In serving Injunctions on mem bers of the militia to prevent them shipping confiscated liquors and bar fixtures out of the town, the troops, under Colonel B. K. Lawson, kept right on loading the contraband goods on the train. Not only were liquors and bar fix tures shipped to Baker, but there waa a wealth of gambling paraphernalia, constating of cards and dice, three roulette wheels, one "monte" layout and three money slot machines with the 'money, It. still In them.
