wounds, saw that they had been inflicted
by slug shots from a gun or pistol, and,
after much persuasion, the wounded child
told the story as above narrated.

MIA. We have never seen any such com.
plaint in any of them and we know no
one of them which has been disap-
pointed in expectation of pecuniary re-
suits that were to follow Governor Pat
tison's election. The Evening Telegraph
ought to be more specific.
1t tries to be more specific, perhaps,
when it points out that Senator Sutton
has complained that "the executive
will not advise or consult with him. -
Senator Sutton has done no such thing,
and nothing that can be SO construed.
1t having bsen charged in the public
prints that he was the mouthpiece of the
administration and spoke byits authorit y,
he simply explained as matter of fac,
and not of complaint that this was not
the case.
The Telegraph is an able newspaper
sometimes. Occasionally it is very
stupid.
