Pritchard Dlsmisses Fine Against Daniels.

Raleigh, N. c., June 3.-The contempt
proceedings of Federal Judge Purnell
against Editor Josephus Daniels, of the
News and Observer, who has been in
custody since Monday for refusal to pay
$4,000 fine, were dismissed to-day and
Mr.. Daniels has been released.
The habeas corpus writ was heard
by Judge j. r. Pritchard. tho new JUS
tice of the Fourth District, who came
from Washington for that purpose.
United States Marshal III. G.. Dockery
brought Mr.. Daniels into court at 8
O'Clock. A great crowd was present to
hear the case.
Justice Pritchard sat alone. Argument
was made for Mr.. Daniels by ex-Judge
X. w. Winston, and, by instructions of
Judge Pritchard, District Attorney Skin
ner represented Judge Purnell
After argument, Judge Pritchard dis
missed the case and released Mr.. Daniels,
saying that he failed to find anything in
Section 725, revised United States stat
utes, that warranted the action, and
hence ordered the respondent dismissed.
Mr.. Daniels was fined by Judge Pur-
nell for editorially criticising the Judge
Tor his actions in appointing receivers
for the Atlantic and North Carolina rail
road. The appointment of receivers
was overruled by Chief Justice Fuller,
and now Judge Pritchard has released
Mr.. Daniels. kilograms of congratula-
tions are pouring in on Mr.. Daniels.

A "BIazed-Face" Negro.

There is a colored girl about two
months old on p. G. Smiths Bailey
place, in Newberry county, that is a
genuine curiosity. It's parents are
both black-the father decidedly 80.
The child has a white spot in it's
forehead just in the front hair that
is perfectly white, larger round than
a silver dollar--the hair and skin
there both being white. From this
round white spot white streak an
inch wide extends along the center
of the nose, down across the lips,
chin, chest, stomach--in fact as far
as the trunk extends. This white
mark does not fade gradually into
the black, but is as clear and distinct
as if made wit, brush of white
paint. Both arms of the child from
elbow to shoulder are perfectly white.
The child is healthy and strong

A Sunday Ride.

"Shortly after l began the practice
of law" said Colonel Ingersoll, 81
had o. occasion to make western trip
and incidentally to look up some re-
cords in the country Offices of cer-
tain town.
"When my research was finished
| had some hours of leisure on my
hands and naturally drifted into the
courtroom, where case was being
tried.
at was a damage suit for a
wrecked buggy and foundered
horse. 1t appeared that the de-
fendant, a young man of about
twenty-one, had taken his best girl
out riding on a Sunday afternoon.
They came home, the girl on horse
back, the fellow leading disheveled
beast considerably the worse for
wear.
"The girl was in court, but in a
bad temper, and the most reluctant
witness ever saw. 1t took some
time to get the facts from the young
man. 1t seemed that, being very
warm day, the horse wanted drink,
and as there was track through q
stream where the animal was accus-
toned to 90 he took the bit in his
teeth, waded in knee deep and
stopped.
"The checkrein had not been let
down, and the horse couldn't get his
head free TO drink. Not being fa.
miliar with such gear, the pair did
not know what to do. Finally the
youth leaned over the dashboard and
unbuckled the crupper.
"That didn't work, so he got out
and, securing rail that lay by the
roadside, placed one end under the
rear axle and tried to life the hind
end of the buggy 80 that the horse
could get his nose to the water.
"The buggy lurched, the horse was
frightened, began to paw and back,
broke and overturned the vehicle and
spilled the girl into the stream. The
fellow dropped the rail, leaped into
the water and caught the bundle of
muslin and saved her, but, oh, so
wet and bedraggled
"The young man and the girl
blamed the horse, and the jury after
mature deliberation brought in a
verdict against the plaintiff on the
ground that a man who would let
turnout to an idiot must expect to
take the consequences"
