Sinclair Says Why Two Commissioners w.r.

Executive Displeasure Some Point
ed Remarks In Court.

ed Remarks In Court.
We quote the following items
from the .Sbokesmaa-ReDiev and
Lewiston Teller:
"It was necessary to break up
the meeting Of the county commits
sioners' and therefore Commits
sioners Boyles and Stimson were
placed under arrest. With them
in the bull pen, quorum Of the
board would be impossible and
that organization would be pre-
vented from passing any orders
pernicious TO the public safety"
declared Bartlett Sinclair in an
swer to questions as to why the
two men were detained in the
bull pen here.
"Why wasn't Simmons, the
chairman Of the board, also ar
restedF"
MIR. Sinclair smiled slightly.
"That was one Of the incom-
prehensible instances of executive
clemency," he added. He wasn't
around when the other two were
seized and it wasn't necessary to
get him. Perhaps that explains
it.
"Was the liberty of Stimson
and Boyles dangerous to the COM
munity?"
"Yes, we thought so. They
might meet and incite the people
of the county to overt acts, and
they might order the disburse-
ment of public moneys Illegally"
"Could that have been stopped
by ordering the treasurer not to
recognize their authority in mat
tiers of county funds?''
ayes, that might have been
effective, but we considered it
better to place the two in Gus
tody,"
If Sinclair is correctly reported,
Governor Steunenberg ought to
get out a permanent injunction
against the silly mOuthings of his
official representative at the seat
of pain,
The type of the Mullan Mirror
was seized on the pretext that it
was being made to say seditious
things. An order of the court
was obtained commanding the
man Sutherland, who held it, to
turn it over to one Heney acting
sheriff because the real sheriff
was busy washing dishes in the
governors bull pen and couldn't
be spared. Sutherland refused to
turn over the type on the order Of
the district court claiming that he
held it by virtue of higher pow
er-an order from Governor
Steunenberg himself. Jones, the
attorney for the accused types
discussing this matter in court il
reported by the Revve7v as fol-
lows:
"Attorney Jones said this was
both refusal to obey the process
and contempt on the part of the
courts own officer. Then he
startled the court by saying

was destined 10 attain an exalted PIN
nacle of eminence ana also that he
should encounter bloody end. Mrs
Crawford never wearied of narrating
that when he was a boy, with little APP
parent promise, and was acting out the
clown in her kitchen, when remon-
strated with and asked what he coula

course confidently replied that he was
going 10 be president of the United
States.
When he was at New Orleans, in
1881, he visited a voodoo fortune tel
Ter and listened to her absurd prophe-
cies (as they then appeared) with
eager attention. When his son Robert
was bitten by dog, he took him to
Terre Haute, at much inconvenience,
TO have the virtues OF a maidstone, as
1t was called, tested as an antldote.
When in congress he refused to be one
OF a party of - at table, and Robert
Toombs, who really liked him, with
some asperity tolu him that he would
rather die than to be so superstitious.

Veronica noticed that the girls face

SHE was really cold Still It was q

girl to herself. what can she want a
fire for? There is something mys-
terious about it"
At last the fire burned brightly; and
then Veronica fastened the door and
seemed TO her as though she held it in
her hands, looking first at the parch-
ment roll and then at the flames, It
seemed to her as though she held
something living. Wealth, honor
fortune, position, the honor of a noble

Then she parted the Goals and placed

few moments there was a thick smoke,
and, seeing no more Of the parchment,
she thought it was destroyed She
watched the thick smoke as it
rose, what did It bear with 1t Of hers?
There was some one at the door;

Contrary to custom. she is not going

When the beautiful singer finally
married Tonic Terry the son of the

strict Roman Catholic, objected

that her wardrobe was the most la

Sybil Sanderson is only thirty-four,
and still rayishingly lovely Her
life has been one continuous romance.
She had a wonderful voice, a lovely
face and a perfect form to start with.
She made tremendous hit on the
stage. she became engaged to an
Italian TO whom she could not speak

was forgiven. She went abroad, and
was successful everywhere. One
Gar fell in love with her; several
other potentates indicated their re-
gard in divers ways. One prince
killed himself for her. Massenet and
Saint-Saens fell at her feet.
In 1895 she appeared at the Me-
