decided that lawyer who is also an editor
cannot be disbarred by a Judge for criti-
cisms in bis paper upon the Judges con-

however, that the article which gave rise to

Justice SuARswOOD declares it to be not

1.-THE decision very clearly places the
bench, the bar, and the press in their just
positions under free government. 1t bril-
dies judicial license without in any degree
unbridling the license OF the bar or the

coined by the most reputable journals OF

Well might the good people OF Dsle OF

the air when John Goode, In eloquent and
powerful speech. referred In reply to his
services in behalf OF the people OF this dis
trict as compared with the policy and politl-
cal creed OF Major Dezendorf, were but an
expression of the devotion and affection OF
people who knew too well the services
that he had rendered in redeeming the dis
trict from the rule of Plat. II John Wise

Sam HOustOn'S Duel.

A correspondent of the Bowling
Green (Ky.) hatellige'acer unearthed an
old man of the vicinity who remembered
all about "the sensation of the year
1926" the old man being one of the
participants in the duel that caused the
sensation. To settle spat that came
Of hot blood Gen. Sam Houston, then a
member OF Congress from Tennessee,
and Gen. White, of Nashville, agreed
that on "Sept. %, 1926" they would
fight a duel on the Tennessee line /;
time, sunrise; distance, fifteen feet;
weapons, holster pistols" Houston got
out of bed at 3 40 q. m. on the 23d, and,
sitting in his night clothes, nodded two
bullets. AS the first fell from the
mold o dog named "Gen. Jackson"
raised a triumphant howl under the
window. When the second bullet
dropped game cock crowed long and
loud from aneighboring tree. Houston,
who was supersitious, cut the figure of
4 dog on Que bullet, and that of cock
on the other. The principals stood al
their posts on the second and to the
inch. Whites lead cut a whistle
through the sharp air, but Houston
stood unhurt. At the same instant the
bullet with the dog mark passed clean
through Whites body, so that silk
handkerchief was drawn from one side to
the other. After the duel Houston select
ed as his coat of arms the famous
"chicken cock and dog"
