MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
Tart Reply OF a Sheriff to the Governor
OF Idaho.

Moscow, IDA, March 10.-Governor
Mcconnell on Sunday telephoned Sher-
if Campbell, OF this county, that he
had heard rumors that mob was or
ganizing to take murderers Smith and
Gordon out and hang them, and that II
the sheriff needed aid he would fur
nish him a regiment to protect the
prisoners and county property, holding
the sheriff responsible for the same.
Sheriff Campbell Immediately sent the
following reply.
ssThere is and has been no foundation
for your statement. The sheriff 3 office
will be conducted rigidly in accordance
with law. The unbounded gall you
exhibit in seeking to direct my office
is no doubt surprising to those unac-
quainted with you. Obey the instruc-
tions you gave Grover Cleveland,
Mind your own business hereafter,
and keep your nose strictly out OF my
affairs. Salt Lake Tribune.
Wv EsfbkNoEt
To the above caustic message OF
Sheriff Campbell the governor replies,
part Of his letter we give below:
My opinion IL that you feel offended
at the action OF the State Eoard OF Ex-
aminers, Of which am chairman, in
cutting down bill which you recently
rendered for bringing prisoner to the
penitentiary. You did not wire out
the fact, though, that we interfered
and prevented you from robbing the
State.
II wish TO assure you that ! will, as
you suggest, mind my own business,
and, in doing so, | will look to it that
you perform your duty under the law,
and that when you render bills for SER
vices performed for the State, you will
not be allowed anything in excess OF
your legal fees.
II have personal knowledge that you
thought from the start that these men
would be mobbed, because you told me
yourself when you were down here
with prisoner to the penitcntiary. +
advise you TO cease making gallery
plays; confine yourself to the perform
ance OF yonr duty under the law, and
you will reflect more credit upon your
county and party than by the course
you are pursuing at present.
Very respectfully yours,
w. J. MCCONNELL, Governor.

Detective Richard Amour arrived in town
Saturday night, having in custody one D. W.
Gise, who is charged with embezzcment
Amour went to Wilkesbarre Friday evening
armed with a warrant sworn out by one
Walter Z. Hall, of Reading general travel
ing agent for the Pease Piano Company, of
New York, charging Gisc with having
feloniously appropriated to his own use about
81 500, the property of the company while
acting in the capacity of agent for the COM
pany.
Gise is well-known here having sold many
pianos in this vicinity during the past few
months. His father was a veterinary surgeon
here for several years. About three weeks
ago Gise was brought here from Wilkes. Barre
by Detective Amour on similar charge made
by another New York piano company The
specific charge in this case was that Gise had
appropriated SiOO to his own use but the
company claimed the real amount was almost
$4,000. Gise was prisoner at the Ferguson
House over night and the next day went
with the agent prosecuting him to Wilkes
Barre where, it is said, he succeeded in affect
ing a settlement on giving securities.
Mr.. Hall, the prosecuting agent in the
present case, says that Gise made returns to
the Pease Company stating that certain
pianos were out ON trial and others would be

The Lawyer Saw From His Face That
He Was UncOnvinced.

The Lawyer Saw From His Face That
He Was Unconvinced.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
DIR. Robert D. Sheppard, business agent
of the Northwestern University, relates
story of how he once won lawsuit which
illustrates the manner in which lawyers
sometimes adapt themselves to their jures.
There was no question" said DR.. Shop
pard, "but that was in the right Of the
case. The evidence was conclusive. the
law was on my side, and when my at
torney arose to make his opening address
he thought he had the case won. He
briefly reviewed the evidence, stated the
law in the case, and was about to close
his argument when he noticed that one
Of the jurors, a stolid old farmer, did not
seem to be with him. The other eleven
men had already decided the case in their
gish, set expression on his countenance
which BODIED no good for me or my case.
Again the lawyer reviewed the evidence,
addressing his remarks entirely to this
The same stolid expression still occupied
the mans face, and he seemed as little
likely to be moved as the court house in
which the trial was taking place. The
attorney tried all kinds Of arguments, and
finally, when he was about giving up in
despair, happy thought struck him. He
repeated again tho bare facts, and when
he came to a place where the person OPP
posing me had made an egregious error
In judgment he leaned over 10 the old
farmer and said:
And 1 want to tell you, my friend, that
there's where he dropped his Watermelon
1.-THE old farmers face lighted up, and
from that moment the case was won. The
jury was out less than five minutes, and
brought back q verdict for all that I had
asked"
