Many other funny incidents have
occurred in the federal court as well
as a great number of pathetic ones.
The present term Of that court has
been a very important one and a
large number of serious cases has
been disposed Of.
General Wright and his assistant
deserve great credit for the efficient
work they have done and while
protecting the governments inter-
ests in every way they have also
guarded the rights of the citizen,
and although the laws have been
enforced no man has been done
an injustice.
AS much can be said of Marshal
Austin and his splendid corps OF
depuli' s.
Judge Charles ID. Clark, who pre-
sides over the court and who holds
the destines of the "moonshiner" in
his hands, grasps the merits of each
particular case in way that is re-
markable. In addition to his learn
ing in law he thoroughly under.
