JUMBO HUNTER ON THE RACK.
THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM FAR
FROM PROVEN A. YET.

The Main witness Against Him Sus-
Pcctcd of Being Jealous of the
Widow smiths Good Opinion OF
the city Marden-The widow

Accused-Mr. Rice Pays Hunter a
High Tribute.
Atlanta Ca. March city Warden J.
X. HuQter was arrayed to-day before a
special committee OF councilmen to an
sWer a series Of formal charges against
his official and private character. The
main charges were that he was too fire.
quently visitor at the house of one Mrs.
Lou Smith. and that he gave her prov.s-
ions that should have gone to the poor,
which she sold. pocketing the proceeds as
the price Of her relations with Hunter.
The city warden was also accused of bru-
tality TO his children and Of reserving to
himself a "takeout' in handling the funds
appropriated for the burial of paupers.
Besides these acts he was accused Of be
ing the oppressor Of the poor and a specu-
lator in railroad tickets on the strength
Of his position by means of which he
bought tickets at half rates and sold them
to various parties.
The council chamber was crowded dur
ing the investigation. At the point where
Hunters relations with the widow Smith
we're sought to be established, Chairman
Hirsch asked a number of ladies present
to leave the hall. so rough was the ques-
tioning Of the lawyers. When Mrs. Smith
was put upon the stand she denied indig-
nantly all that had been charged with
reference to herself and Hunter. The
city warden, she said, had merely acted as
q good man and her friend in distress A
number of witnesses, including several wo-
men, testified to Mrs. Smiths good char
acter. Hunters good character, official and
private, was also proven by q list of wit
nesses, both male and female, including
ex-Alderman Rice who said when he first
went into Office he despised Hunter and
wanted to Gust him. but after a long close
watch he became ashamed Of himself for
Hunter was a splendid officer.
J. b. Johnson appeared as the star wit
ness against Hunter, claiming to have
witnessed the unbecoming conduct be
tween him and Mrs Smith, but before he
was done with 1t. it became apparent that
johnson was Jealous of the widow Smith s
good opinion Of the city warden, and like
"Sansey SMILES. undertook to play for
even by getting up the council investiga-
ton by the circulation of the reports lead
ing to it.
The council committee finished up the
Hunter investigation tonight by com
pletely generating him of every charge

contains continuation of the Private

very clever one-act comedy entitled
'Bentley's Beat" graphic article
descriptive of a woman's life at Vas

interesting complement of short stor-

etc. The whole is set off with seven
ty-tive superb illustrations, a large
proportion of which are from origi-
nal drawings.
Godey's fashions for February
have taken on several distinctively
new features. Besides the regular
fashions, there are articles on femi-
nine fancies, new dishes, house deco

In the house proceedings of Thurs
day we note: During the discussion
of the Russian thistle resolution yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Grondahl, tn
member from Red Wing, who would
not be taken from appearances to bt
over II, although he has proved him
self to be a bright and efficient rep
resentative. spoke against adopting
the resolution. Soon after he had
spoken Mr.. Holeman, of Murray
county, took the floor to favor thu
measure. During the course of hi
remarks he addressed the member
through a slip of the tongue, as boys
Soon after the discussion was o7e1
Dan: Shell, who loves a joke better
than meal of yictuals. introduced
the following resolution with the ut
most candor:
Whereas, the member from Murray
county, in his speech this morning on
the Russian thistle made use of indec-
ent and uncomplimentary language
by referring to one of the representa-
tives from Goodhue-Hon. Jens K,
Grondahl-in the following language,
towit: 81 desire to call the boys at
tention, etc.," therefore
Be it resolved that it is the sense OF
the house that the honorable member
from Murray (Holman) should at
this time apologize to the house fol
such unbecoming language.
When the clerk finished reading
the resolution Mr.. Feig created a
storm of laughter by moving that it
be referred to the committee on legis-
lative expenses. Mr.. Grondahl evil
IDENTIFY took the resolution seriously,
for he took the floor to move that the
resolution be laid on the table. Mr.
Holman took matters seriously, but
he at length "tumbled." The event
created Juror of laughter.
