commissioner at Jefferson City the
other day of dozen more citizens
of Camden county the charge of
cutting and selling timber on govern

that they had committed the act
charged, and they were held in the
sum of 5000 each on their own recog-
nizance to await the action of the
grand jury One of them explained
that the timber was cut last summer
and fall, after the failure of the crops
had left them absolutely destitute and
starvation was staring them in the
face. They had raised nothing and
they had no means of support, so they
cut some timber and made ties and
sold them. If the government wanted
to punish them for that offense, he
said, they would not complain
