of Hunters White Sulphur Springs which
appears in this issue. A fair trial has new
er failed to convince the most skeptical of
the wonderful curative properties of these
springs. DR.. Hunter, accompanied by his
son Davis, left town on Tuesday with a
load OF supplies, and will remain at his
springs throughout the summer. We be-

his district and is prepared to try all cases
that may properly be brought before him,
thereby saving his neighbors the expense
of having to travel to Boseman to adjust

JACKSON Miss, Feb. l2.-Ihe log
cases in the district court here are
now on cal, for trial. The dcien'
dants are here pressing for trial,
represented by Major Price, OF Mos
bile. The United States is represen-
ted by District Attorney Lea aGd
Special Agent Carter, WHO are ask
ing for a continuance, not having
summoned a single witness, ana
having none present, and not beng
able to show any kind of effort to
get ready for trial. Judge Hill was
compelled to refuse a continuance.
This is thought to be a remarkable
state OF things. Most of the log
cases are in the circuit court; these
district court cases are Tor small
amounts, against very poor men,
whose expenses to court have to be
paid by friends. a general desire
is expressed to have a special court
at Scranton to try all these cases.

We have information from Jacks
son TO the effect that Judge Hill
has dismissed the log cases against
Messers. Faulkner, Mills, Colmer,
aud others. Carter and his horde,
under the pretence Of not being
ready for trial, insisted upon Judge
Hill continuing the cases to the
May term, but the honorable gem
tleman seeing that Garter had
made no effort 10 have his witness
es present, threw the cases out of
court. 1t may now be safely pre-
sumed that the government will be
unable TO prove a single case, and
that in the end our people will

to it, and il was telegraphed TO

it. Mr.. Hayes further states that the
returning board comes under this

to it when he asked for political
immunity for political offenders.
