WON. OUT !
CASE AGAINST CANTON
MAN DISMISSED.
(. D. LANG Ex0NERATED
Congratulated by Many
CarrolIton Citizens.

r. ID. Lang, the marble dealer of
Canton, who was sued by Will Steen,
of Carrollton. for sending a threaten
ing letter through the mails. went to
that town Saturday to hear the deci-
sion of Justice E. M. Adair, before
whom the hearing was had several
days previous. Steen did not show
up, but was represented by his attor-
ney and Prosecuting Attorney Thomp-
son. Attorney H. J. Eckley was coun-
sci for Mr.. Lang.
The decision of Justice Adair was
that Mr.. Lang in the letter had simply
demanded his own and threatened
prosecution If the property was not
forthcoming. There had been no vio-
lation of the postal laws. no extor-
tion or anything that looked like
blackmail. He held that the Canton
man had not offended the law in any
way and the charge against him was
dismissed.
The trouble grew out of two con-
tracts for tombstones which Steen
took while in the employ of Lang as
an agent and which he afterwards
turned to his own account. Lang
wrote and demanded them. Steen had
him arrested upon the charge of
blackmail.
At the conclusion of the hearing
many Carrollton citizens went to Mr..
Lang voluntarily and Congratulated
him upon the termination of the case.
