purpose of United States Marshal Dun.
ham and his deputies, acting under the
orders of Federal Judge Philips, to
effect the arrest of the st. Clair
county judges when they met here
yesterday in regular session to make
the annual tax levy. According to the
clerk of the court the judges came
into town stealthily on Friday night,
met in the court house, made the tax
levy and returned to the brush.
It was stated that the long fight OF
the people of st. Clair county against
the levy of a special tax to pay in
terest on bonds of a railroad that was
never built might end in bloodshed
yesterday when the three fugitive
judges, who had been in hiding to pre-.
vent the United States officials from
compelling them to levy the special
tax or suffer arrest, should come hers
to open the regular term of court. It
was stated that the Judges would be
protected by mob of 500 farmers.

kenney have been nolle pressed at
the request of Attorney General
Robert c. White. The sensational
developments that ensued and in
which Senator Kenney was one of
the prime actors in the United States

quashing of the case. 1t shows to
what trouble an editor can be put
in Delaware when he is charged
with libel, especially criminal libel.
The minions of the law can put the
editor in Jail in default OF bail be-
fore any crime has been proven

Such should not be the law. as no
editor will run away and leave his
property when charged with libel.
Then, again, such charges are non
sensical, when the party assalled
cannot prove malice with intent to
iniure the business or character OF
the person or persons assailed. The
liberty of the press should not be
abused and editors have no right to
