Perhaps the other bills which are re-
garded as OF most interest and import
ance are those by Mr.. Bruce to re-enact
the Wharton anti-compact law and by
Mr. West to abolish the three-fourth

Chances at this time would seem to ia
yor the passage OF the former and the
defeat Of the latter.

Now, Judge oampbell.'' said Major
Conrad. "go more into detail with refer
ence to your personal relations with Mr..
Day, It is in testimony here that Mr.,
Day was endorser on notes for you. Not
that this part would influence or control
the judicial mind ,
"Mr. Day. came from the stand. us
a personal friend, who. as stated, has
not always been a political supporter of
mine, 1t Is true that he has endorsed
paper for me- that he Is probably now
endorser on paper for mo. Three years
ago had tho misfortune to DO burnt
very heavy. When some of the people
mixed up In this prosecution were brag-
ging around the county that I was
broken up and wiped out, Mr., Day came
to my rescue and put me on my feet
again. It was simply q business trans
action. Mr., Day endorsed paper for me.
There wac nothing to be ashamed of,
Mr.. Day is a gentleman. It would be-
impossible to find reputable citizen In
Amherst who knows me who would be
willing to say that the fact OF the en-
dorsement OF my notes ever influenced
me In my official acts toward Mr.. Day.
You might bring down some of my per-
sonal enemies who would say It, hut I
mean reputable people"
ANOTHER CHARGE.
Tho sixth general charge against Judge
Campbell-that he has prostituted the
process of his court In proceeding

Last night Deputy Jackson brought
in two men-One an American and
claimed to be a physician, the other
a German, not long in this country
The American was named X. L..
Moore and was arrested at Pauls Val
ley with a gallon OF alcohol in his
possession, hence he was bound over
by Pfeiffer for introducing liquor
The other was a young German
named Joseph Rosnik and was charg
ed with larceny. 1t seems that Ros.
mix stayed all night with a man by
the name of Taylor, near Elmore, and
after his departure the next morning
Taylor missed a pair Of his good
pants. He knew the stranger had
them, so he pulled out after him some
seven or eight miles on his way.
When Taylor came upon Rosnik he
had donned the pants over his old
ones
Judge Pfeiffer gave him thirty days
la jail and fined him so.
