SALOON MEN ALL PLEAD NOTGUILTY OSKALOOSANS SAY THEY ARE IN NOCENT OF SELLING LIQUORS TO INDIANS. In pursuance to indictments return ed against them yesterday by the fed eral grand jury, thirteen Oskaloosa sa loonkeepers appeared before Judge Smith McPherson this morning and each of them pleaded not guilty to the crime of selling liquors to Indians. Bonds in the sum of $500 were impos ed upon each by the court and the thirteen dispensers were admonished by the court to appear upon the first day of the next term of court for trial. The men against whom indictments were returned are James Deboard, Da vid Blackburn, Edward D. Nugent, James K. Black, Homer McMains, \V. J. Doyle, Robert Milner, H. D. Nu gent, A. E. Greenway, J. D. Dow, A. L. Stolar, A. Roesch and A. Menden hall. According to the evidence presented to the grand jury, the Indians who purchased the liquors were from the Tama reservation and it was through the cleverness of E. E. Van Wert, a special agent from the department of the interior, who was called to the state by O. L. Green, the Indian agent at Tama, that the Oskaloosa saloon men were suspected. The red men had been giving the Tama agent consider able trouble, a great many of them be ing under the influence of fire water all the time, and therefore very abus ive. Van Wert took several of.the In dians' to Oskaloosa clothed in blan kets and in every way decked out so that the men who sold them liquors could have no excuse for not recogniz ing them as real Indians. They had no trouble in getting the liquors in many of the cases the sales being made in full view of Agent Van Wert. The revised statutes show the sale of intoxicating liquors to Indians to be a criminal offense, for which the maxi mum penalty is three years In jail.
