Mr.. POTTER, OF TEXAS.

There was something about Mr. Pot

lence to fall over the three thousand
rooters. The classicness of cultivated
Boston breathed forth from his every
movement. He took the sphere and gazed

"What shall be said of president Of

d. r. jones. Lansing, Kans.

For eight years, unless otherwise
shortened by good behavior, the above
will be the address of d. r. Jones,
twice elected clerk of Barton county,
and found guilty of forgery by jury
of twelve of his peers, in the district
court. When the suit was commenced
there were twelve counts" or specific
charges against him, for raising
county warrants while he was county
clerk and fraudulently obtaining the
money thereon. Eight of these counts
were thrown out of court on &C
count of some technically, and the
trial proceeded on the remaining four
charges, with the above result.
County Attorney Hotchkiss had
charge of the prosecution, and E. G.
Cole and d. A. Banta were the
attorneys for the defense.
The verdict was no surprise to those
who had closely watched the case and
informed themselves of the evidence
and circumstances surrounding it; and
the general comment is, that while it
seems hard that a man of his age
upwards of 90 should be confined at
hard labor for the next eight years, it
is but justice, and should serve as a
warning to all eyildoers that the trust
imposed in a public Office is one OF
the most sacred and should be kept
with honesty and integrity.
