THE CHARGE WAS eRouNoLEss.

Case Against Attorney Mitchell, Of Man
dan, Falls Through for Very suaicient
Reasons.
MANDAN, OAK, Aug. s22 The charge
of embezzlenent against Maj. T. ].
Mitchell was thrown out of court by
Judge Rose and the prosecution not al
lowed to give any testimony. It is true
that the major received the money in
yolved on behalf Of his client, and has it
now, but the fact develops that his client
has never applied for the money. The
client is in the South, and his wife has
applied to Mitchell for the money, but
for excellent reasons the defendant de-
clined to pay it over to her, as she had
no authority to receive it. 1t looks as
though it was a trulnped up charge for
the sake Of injuring Mitchell, who has q
good many political enemies. The de-
fendant is the president of the Mardan
board of education, to which office he
was reelected several times.
