IN MUSLIN. WOMEN AS “BOOTLEGGERS.” —| Indian Territory Offenders Sel- dom Caught And Con- victed. A Pr . ‘ Sekogee, I. T., Nov 4—The most persistent class of ‘“bootleggers” that ever inf-sted Indian territory is composed of women who have made {t a vocation Marshal Bennett, who has had many years experience with the outlaws of this country, says a woman bootlegger can sell whisk-y longer without beingcaught and is harder to convict after she is caught than any other person. There are two especially persistent women “bootleggers” in Indian territory. The officers have been watching them a long time. The officers are certain they are selling Hquor all tne time, but it has been impossible so far to catch them orto find liquor in their possession, The cunning of the women in this dangerous business is remarkable. In ten years experience Marshal Bennett says he knows of only seven or eight cases where women “boot leggers” have been caught and con- victed in the courts of Indian terri- tory. This isthe case even in the districts where the enormous dockets ot the courts are burdened with liquor cases, The number of cases of this kind exceed two to one all other cases on the docket, but these cases are all against men, The only woman who has been convicted of “pootlegging” “in the Western dis- trict for along time is Mra. M J. Wade. She was arrested in Wagoner and sentenced toa year and a day in the federal prison in Columbus. The offices aver that she had been selling liquor at Wagouer and other places in Indian territory ten years before she was captured. There is another case now pending in the courts. Mrs. Beale was ar rested at Sapulpa and is now under The woman is a $3,000 bond. “good looking,” and came from Kansas. The officer had long sus- pected her of “bootlegging,” but could never catch her with the whiskey in her possession, although her house was searched many times. Finally a close fitting pannel was found in the woodwork in the kitch- en, When this was opened a stock Rear Admiral R j-stvensky’s coni- of bottled liquor was found in the : wall.

When A. T. Stewart & Co. sought to replace their stock of muslin they found the price almost prohibitive, and Mr, Stewart be- came very angry. He sent for Jeroloman and the farmer went over to see him. Onarriving atthe store Jeroloman found that Stewart had given his partner a raking over and had berated his muslin buyers for letting the stock go. Once Jeroloman was in Mr, Stewart's office and the door was shut, the mer- chant tried his best to get the Jerseyman to give up the goods. He asked Jerolo- man what he wanted of so much muslin anyway, since he was not a dealer. Jeroloman replied that: although he wasn't in the business, he had sense enough to see that muslin was bound to increase in value.
