as his flying horse, carried him off be

Lillian Clar, negress, wife of John
on $500 bonds for selling liquor to In
dians,' at a preliminary hearing De
fore United States Judge Neely Tues-
; day morning.
Willie Free and Peter Whitegull,
Indians, testified that they bought
two pints of liquor from her for $11.
Lillian denied their story and de
clared that the Indians had told a
different story before Police Judge
Fitzgerald in South Omaha last week.
"They are trying to shield some
one else, your honor, by placing the
blame on me," she insisted.
Testimony of the same Indians re
, cently caused Sam Sing, Chinaman,
to be held to the grand jury on $1,000
bonds. The men said that Sam sold
then a pop bottle full of liquor for
' $2.50. i
Peter Whitegull is himself under
. federal indictment for bringing liquor
from Sioux City, .Ia to the .Winne
bago reservation.
