DULUTH, Mimi, July 14.-Quite a COM
motion was created here this morning by
the arrest of R. c. Mitchell, editor of the
Bracket, of st. Paul, charged with fraud
ulently dealing in pine land. The charge
covers some two columns. Mr.. Mitchell
was lately appointed receiver of the land
office here, and it was quite surprise to
many and did not seem to be ap-
proved by them, and it is said
| they entered complaint against him charg-
ing him with fraudulently dealing in pre-
| emptions, also involving Hon. II. L. Cor
| Minneapolis. Mr.. Mitchell had a hearing
| at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and waived ex-
| animation to the October term of court,
giving bonds for the sum of $4,000, H.
| Truelson, G. R. Stutz and B. Dilberstein,
| all of Duluth, going on his bond.
The Tribune of this morning has
the following: "If it can be
shown that we ever took
presumption ourself, or that we ever
bought or sold or owned one, either di-
rectly or indirectly,o or that we ever wronged
the government out of penny in"regard
to one or helped anyone else to do so, or
that we were ever guilty of any wrong
doing in regard to any presumption matter
whatever, we are very willing to have an
investigation"
Mr.. Mitchell seems to take the matter
very cool, and says he don't intend to lose
any sleep on account Of it. He had not re-
| ceived his commission from Washington,
| and his arrest to-day will upset it. 81 H. L.
Gordon will be arrested MondayAto an
swer for the same charges. 1t is hard to
say what the termination will be. Mr..
Mitchell feels confident of proving his in
| nocence, while others claim that they have
plenty of af1idayits to prove him guilty of
all the charges.
