The end Of the sensational mining
suit Of G.. d. Morrison VS. Alyiras H.
Snow. the Morrison Mining company ct
al, appellants. IS not yet The supreme
court today, IN an exhaustive and forci'
bic opinion, not only affirmed the judg-
ment OF the lower court, which was In
favor of plaintiff, but ordered. that AL
viras f. Snow. w Il. wilkins and j.,
NJ Bowman appear before the court on
oct, and show cause why they should
not be disbarred from the practise of
law IN this state on, account Of the
false. malicious and lmpertinent
charges" which they made against JUS
tice Bartch in their answer in said
case.
THE ORIGINAL ACTION.
The action was brought by Morrison
In the Third district court to recover
from Snow $4,000 shares Of stock In
the Morrison Mining company. valued
at $3.50, which Snow had induced Nor
rison to sell TO him, by false repre-
sensations, for the sum Of $500. The
complaint alleged that Snow falsely
represented that the stock could not be
sold at any price; that an assessment
would have to be levied on the same
to meet the running expenses of the
mine: that the company was Indebted
ito Snow in the sum Of 1000 and that
the ore In the mine would not pay
to ship. BY reason or such false repre-
sensations Morrison sold HIS stock to
Snow as stated above.
SHOWS DENIAL.
In his answer TO the complaint, Snow
denied all of the allegations and fur
Their made sensational charges against
Justice G. W. Bertch who is president
Of the Morrison company He charged
that Justice Bartch conspired with
Morrison in bringing the action and
that he was TO receive one.half OF
whatever Morrison recovered. Snow
also charged that Justice Bartch in

charges.
IN FAVOR OF MORRISON,

issues In favor Of Morrison and further
ordered that the answer Of Snow con
tanning the charges against Justice
Bartch be stricken from the flies In
the case as being false, malicious and
impairment

he had received the S14 back salary due

Brother Watkins was Il good husband
and Il fond father and that his favoritc

Grated nor denied this but looked out

After an hour of rather solid enjoy
ment we took Brother W. by the nose
and lifted him up. and then we took
him by the ear and led him outdoors.
His wife and two children had ap-
peared upon the scene. but they took
our word for 1t that we didn't intend to
deprive them of husband and father.

editor of II dishrag of a weekly
called the Lone Jack Recorder.
has vilifed and slandered US in almost
every issue. A hundred times over our
friends have asked why we paid no
attention to his ebullitions, but we have
gone our way and let him have full
swing and been rather curious to see
how far he would carry things.
Two weeks ago, determined to make
us take notice of him, he devoted one
full page to us, and we must admit
that it was rather racy reading. The
picture he published over our name
was that Of an Ohio murderer, and in
the so called history he gave of us we
counted up 24O lies. 1S4 ISLANDERS and
21S libels.
If we had had business at Lone Jack
last week we should have visited the
Recorder Office and taken Brother Wat
kins by the nose and led him slowly
up and down the main street of his
town, but we had matters to see to at
home and paid no attention to his at
tack This probably encouraged him to
believe that we were afraid to move In
the case and that his chance had come
to make a strike.
Notwithstanding that we were the
insulted party, he sent us a challenge
to fight duel, and we understand that
he made bet of $40 that we would
refuse to accept the honor. He had our
answer within ten minutes after his
challenge had been received. The day
was set for Wednesday last, and the
place was at Johnson's Ford. We We're
on the spot with our second ten min
utes before the hour named, and after
we had been kept waiting a full hour a
messenger brought word from Brother
Watkins that as he had boil on his
leg the affair must be postponed for
two weeks.
Our action in the case might not have
been strictly up to the "code." but 1t
was the best we could do under the
circumstances. AS first move we
took off our coat and gave the messen
ger a humping he will remember TO
the end of the year and beyond. We
did not wallop him because he bore Il
message, but because he grinned in a

not disappointed. He sat in his sane

face as he thought of us waiting at
Johnson's Ford for him. We entered
his presence unannounced. and as we
stood before him that look of compla-
cency faded away into one of terror

We made inquiry as to how he was
getting along in financial way and
whether the circulation of the Record

pursue that particular vein of humor.

Passing of Story Tellers.

According to The Atlanta Constitution original story-tellers in the United States Senate are returning to private life.
 Among the members of the distin- guished body whose constant wit and witty stories have enlivened the cloak room of the Senate and who will soon retire gre George Graham Vest of Mis- souri, and John P. Jones of Nevada. Their public careers will end with the passing of this Congress.
 It is said that while these Senators were brilliant and earnest in their argu- ments and speeches on the floor of the Senate, they never kept t1;eir fun under a bushel, and at times would tell stories and make jests for hours.
 Senator Morgan and Senator Pettus. too. it is said, are when not on duty, at all times winding the watch of their wit'' but they are in the Senate to spend the remainder of their days.
 It is told of MT. Pettus that just after his recent reelection to his seat, he sub- stituted a new and fitting suit of clothes for the well worn frock coat and baggy trousers which were characteristic of him. and when twitted by jokers who pro- claimed him ''an eighty-two-year- old dude" he said: Gentlemen, I'm a new Senator. and I consider I'm entitled to a new suit of clothes. I expect to pur- chase new suit every time I'm re- elected"
