A LAWFUL MISSION.

| came here to do my part in the con-
duct of legitimate business enterprise;
my afTiliation was without the slightest
reference to you or the people whose
collar you wear. I do not, never have
and see no reason why shall ever have
occasion to fear either you or any OF
your ilk. When you intimate that
any of my movements have been made
with the slightest regard to yourself.
with the exception of writing this
letter, you arragate to yourself an i'm
portance that is false and that con-
vinces me that you are a braggart and
an ass.
For the benefit of the public I will

Fifth.-YOU ARE EITHER A THIEF OR
RECEIVER OF STOLEN GOODS.
In the issue of your journalistic in
cubus of November 25, you published
a letter written from New York by
Lieut.. Aired Hampton to Nogales
friend. Where did you get that letter? ?
1t reposed in its envelope in the pock ct
of the overcoat of the addresse hang
ing in the office of the Montezuma
Hotel. The letter was extracted from
the envelope and the pocket. Do you
know how it was done? Moreover,
what right have you to publish private
correspondence without permission of
the owner thereof? Are you SO lost to
all sense of propriety and decency. are
you so low, such moral leper that
nothing is sacred from you; has no
one any rights that you are bound to
respect? II you did not steal that
letter yourself, the natural conclusion
is that you received it from the thief.
Therefore you are either thief or a
receiver of stolen goods.

descriptions. Looking over an old pile
of postal cards he found one from f.
]. Weir, sheriff of Humboldt county,
dated September 81, where Stroll had
been arrested for burglary and indicted
by the grand jury. He was awaiting
trial in the county Jail there when he
made his escape. Sheriff Weir was tele-

STATE NEWS.
MAKE "A PROTEST.
The Iowa Afro-Americsn Leasue
Urges That Steps be Taken to Pre-
vent Outrages Against Negroes.

The Iowa Afro-American league met
In Des Moines with about 100 colored
persons in attendance. r. N. Hyde, of
Des Moines, presided. The entire sesA
sion of the day was devoted to speeches
on resolutions denouncing southern
and Illinois outrages.
The resolutions adopted declare that
the unrebuked liberation of these
crimes, with their attendant barbara
ties, demands immediate and vigorous
punishment on the part of the govern
ment; that the Iowa Afro-American
league urges congress, inasmuch as the
states of Mississippi, South Carolina
and Louisiana have by constitutional
enactment disfranchised more than
half their population, to reduce the
representation of these states in con-
gress and the electoral college, and rec
ommends that such amendment to the
national constitution be adopted as will
empower the president to use federal
authority to protect the property of all
citizens of the United States wherever
the governor of any state refuses or is
unable to do SO. The league also
recommends that congress pass law
that all persons injured or damaged by
riot be Unidentified by the government
and the United States be reimbursed
out of the state or county treasury in
which the riot occurred, and that right
OF action accrue in the federal courts.

MALIGNs A WITNESS.
like to Him and Vents His Spite
Most vigorously.

In trial of damage suit against
the city of Sioux City d. H. Sullivan, an
attorney of that city, appeared for the
prosecution. He took particular dis
like to one of the witnesses for the
city, and took occasion TO say few
things about him when he came to
make his argument to the jury. He
said he could not say bad enough things
about this man, and here is about the
way he put it to the jury:
Gentlemen of the Jury: When God Gre
ated this earth He simply put His hands
out and said: This is the earth. When He
created man He said: This is a man.
When He created the horse He put out His
hands and said: This is a horse When
He created jackass He put His hands out
again and said: This is n jackass.' But,
gentlemen of the jury, when He created
that fellow lie marked on him: Without
recourse me. :"

NEW LAW QUESTION.
An ottumwa Judge Says That Debts
Must BE Paid Out of Legacy
Before Divided.

Judge Eichelberger, of the district
court in Ottumwa, handed down an en-
sirely new decision in regard to the
payment of debts out of the legacy of
debtor when the debtor has preceded
the original owner of the property in
death, Alvin Lewis died several wears
ago in Ottumwa, leaving an estate val
ued at $4,000, one of the principal heirs
being his nephew, w. H. Lewis. The
latter preceded his uncle in death sew
eral months. After the death of Alvin
Lewis the creditors of w. II. Lewis filed
claims against the share of the estate
of Alvin Lewis, which was about to be
divided among the formers children.
The case was contested, the children
claiming the debts should not be paid
cut of the legacy. The judges decision
is that the debts of w. II. Lewis must
be paid out of his legacy before it is
divided, for the same reason that he
would be compelled to pay his debts If
he We're alive at the time of the death of
his uncle. The case brought up ques-
