Judge +. G. Mitchell Of Harrison Re
SCENTS Charges Which Have Been
Circulated Against Him in a
Manner Most Emphatic.
Harrison Ark, Feb. 8, 1904,

jeff Davis, Little Rock, Ark:
Sir-You write secret letters
about me, ! write an open letter
to YOU. You have sought a quar-
rel with me for years, at last you
have succeeded. Your reasons are
obvious. You could not gain
seryility from me, and in your
cunning mind, you rightly eonclud-
ed that | had enemies, aud that
these enemies wOlld be cOugenial
company to you. There are some
eX-cOnvicts in this district, who
probably hate me for enforcing
the law and love YOU for your par
dons. There are others, who ought
TO be cOnvicts, and knowing this
to he true, they dread me; they
love you. There may be criminal
lawyers who know positively that
they cannot use me; and know,
with equal positivencsS, that they
can use you. There are mothers
Of bootleggers to bless you; there
are hundreds Of gray.haJrcd moth
ers who, on their knees, pray that
the men who sell their bows whisky
will quit the business. My oppOsi
ton was easily found. 1t is limited
exclusively TO the criminal eIc-
ment. lnSamuch as your friends
now, and since the general break
up came into your forces, and not
before, consist of all the criminal
classes, with not more than ten
per CentOf the law.loying element,
You can be entitled to no special
praise for so easily finding men to
circulate your ISLANDERS against
me.
Governor: If You so much de-
sired my ruin why did yon not in.
vent better falsehoOds 7 Your
admirers say JEFF is smart; and
your experience as a slanderer has
certainly been general, varid and
exhaustive. ! believe YOU claim
that Geo. Crump, Bud Mcconnell,
Reese Higgins. Gen. Murphy, Alex.
Hull, j. W. Crockett, T. g, Monroe,
Dan w, Jones, j, &. Fletchrrand
a hundred others were thieves. !
believe YOU have stopped making
that claim about Murphy. Why I
Was it because you were afraid
that the next time he looked for
tobacco YOU could not find q con.
venient table to run udcr2 | be.
lieve YOU say that all the supreme
court are brlbe.takerS, and that il
is especially true Of Judge Battle
and Judge Wood. | believe You
say that GOV. Eagle is uotan hon.
est mau-SO dishonest that YOU
could not have him on the capitol
commission, so YOU removed him,
| believe You say, too, that Gov
Eagle and Judge Wood are not
the right kind of Baptists, why
They have never been turned ont
Of the church for being IN negro
brOthels, for drunkenness, for
swearing, nor ever for bHbc.takiug
or for anything else, | believe
when You say that they are not
the right kind you say they are
not the cusSing kind, not the
quart.hottle kind. You have lied
about these men with real ability
You have slaudcred me for years
lou have done 80 without cause

Action to DisbarAttorneys Sub.
mitted to Supreme Court

Arguments were made before the full
bench of the state supreme court yes
terday in the Dodge disbarment pro-
ceedlngs, and the case was taken under
Amusement by the court. The testi-
mony had been submitted some weeks
ago by Referee Hitchcock, Of Mime
apolis, before whom the testimony had
been taken.
Eli Southworth Shakopee secretary
of the state board of examiners in law,
made the argument for the state and
w. E. Hale and H. c. Golden, of Min
neapolis. spoke for the respondents.
The arguments, which occupied the
greater part of the forenoon in their
making, were devoted largely to an
analysis of the testimony. The case
was very fully presented to the court
by both sides, but the evidence is
quite conflicting in important essen
tials.
Col. w. E. and Vernon M. Dodge,
Minneapolis lawyers, are accused by
the complaint of Southworth of i'm
proper professional conduct. They are
charged with representing that in set

took the ground that the companys
holdings are not improved and that the
owners of the homes want the sewer
and should have it. The other MEM
bers of the board took the same view.
The sewer will cost the property own
ers $1.41 per front foot
The final order for the Woodbridge
sewer system was received and sent to
the city engineer for plans and specffi-
cations. This is the order vetoed by the
mayor and passed over the veto by the

BURGLARS RIFLE
GROCERY STORE SAFE
Knew the Combination and Get Awav
With $500 in Cash and JeweIry

Burglars made a haul at Lynch e
Glancy's grocery store, 426 South Rob
ert street, when they broke in Sunday
night and robbed the safe of its con-
tents. About $500 in cash and ieWeIrv
valued at $3.50 was taken.
The thieves gained entrance through
transom over the rear door, and haY-
Ing knowledge of the combination of
the safe opened the strong box and
rif1ed it of its contents.
John j. Clancy said yesterday that he
could not tell exactly how much money
had been left in the safe, but that there
was between $500 and $500. Several
articles of jewelry, which had belonged
to Mrs. CLANCY who died a year ago.
had been left in the safe and are also
missing
The jewelry included four rings. a
watch and chain and several small
trinkets, which were highly valued by
Mr.. CLANCY on account of the associa-
tons connected with them. The jew
elry had been kept in cigar box, the
lid OF which was nailed. The robbers
pried open the cover and left the box.
The police We're notified yesterday
morning when the robbery was dis
covered, and Immediately placed detec-
tives on the case. The fact that no
violence was used in opening the safe,
and that the burglars evidently knew
the combination of the safe, is the clue
on which the police are working.
