The following is reproduced from
Tuesdays Star Chronicle: CAS-
sistant United States District At
torney Joseph G. Williams re-
turned Tuesday morning from
Hillsboro, Mo-, where he made ap-
plication Monday for writ of
habeas corpus to secure the re-
lease from Jail of Mrs. Mary E.
Spaugh, mother of 'Bill' and
Arthur Spaugh, alleged murderers
of Sheriff John Polk of Ironton,
Mo. Mrs. Spaugh is charged
Jointly with her sons of numbering
Sheriff Polk and is now being held
in the Ironton Jail without bond.
Mr.. Williams, who.ha been en-
ployed to represent her in his pri-
vate capacity, says he will en-
deavor to secure her release on
bond pending preliminary hear
ing, which will be demanded fol-
lowing action on the habeas cor
pus writ. The application of the
writ was made to Circuit Judge j.
j. Williams, now' sitting at Hills
boro, and who also presides over
Iron county, in which Ironton is
situated. Judge Williams is ex-
pected to- either grant or deny the
writ Tuesday afternoon. In the
event the writ is granted, Mrs.
Spaugh will be brought to Hills
boro, and the authorities of Iron
county will be called upon to show
cause why she should not be ad-
mitted to bail. Mr.. Williams has
also been employed to defend 'Bill'
and Arthur Spaugh, who, it will
be remembered were run to earth
by posse several days after they
are said to have killed Sheriff Polk,
and who were only taken after a
desperate battle in which Arthur
was wounded. Should Judge Will
liams grant the writ for Mrs.
Spaugh's release and she is given
a preliminary hearing at Hills
boro, an application will be made
by Attorney Williams for writ
of habeas corpus to secure the at
tendance of the two alleged des-
peradoes at their mothers trial,
that they may be able to testify in
her behalf. Prosecuting Attorney
G. P. Damron, of Iron county, and

Teachers Examinations.

The next regular examination
for teachers for this county will be
held in Ironton June 23d and oath.
AT this time all persons desiring
teachers certificates, or teachers
wishing to raise their grades, will
be given the opportunities desired.
| would insist that great many
of my teachers try to raise their
grades, thereby showing that they
are advancing in the profession,
and that they are taking advant-
age of the opportunities within
their grasp, which are offered in
order that our standard be raised.
The teacher who gets the good
position is the one that shows him.
self qualified for the place.
| am greately in hopes that the
records which will be made at this
examination will show a progress
sive move among the teachers of
Iron county. Nothing speaks bet
ter for a community or county
than corps of able and enthusias-
tic teachers. Let Iron county's
teachers do their part to uphold
our banner and retain the reputa-
ton already made.
The position of this board of
education on the endorsing ques-
ton is well known, but for the
benefit of some who may not know
it, will state that no certificates
will be endorsed. By experience
as well as by close observation,
we have learned that it is best for
each county to examine it's own
teachers.
The examinations will begin
promptly at s A. NJ. and 1880 P. NJ,
and the usual order will be fol-
lowed. Any further information
desired may be had by addressing,
