Mitigating Circumstance.

A Scotch baillie recently advanced to
the bench had a criminal placed before
him accused Of some very modest VIC
lation Of the law. OF course the baillie
knew the prisoner well. He heard the
charge stated.
John, man, I'm sorry to see you
here. Well just fine you half crown"
The clerk here interviewed.
But the charge is not yet proved;
we have not heard the evidence"
Then the benignant baillie:
"Ah, well, John, my man, as tho
charge is not proved we'll just fine you
IN eighteenpence."- London Telegraph

Lynch Spirit Gone Mad.

8 +
The hanging and burning Of
three negroes by a mob in
Springfield, Mo-, is another ex-
ample Of the inevitable result of
a liberation Of lynching under
certain conditions. There are
MAJ men, mostly in the south
ern states, who justify the unlaw.
ful seizure and hanging of negro
assaulters when they are known
to be guilty. The southerner
argues that the terrifying effect
is necessary to protect the
women Of the negro states.
But abhorrers of lynching in
any form have but to point to the
Missouri outrage to prove their
case. The southerner ssjustif-
able" lynching leads to atroci-
ties which the most prejudiced
must brand as murder. There
was nothing but mere suspicion
against the Springfield negroes
and it has now been proven that
they were not the guilty men.
But to cap all, the third victim OF
the rope and stake was not even
a suspect. but a prisoner held
on another charge and seized
from the Jail by a mob thirsty
for more human gore. .-

Tne sale of 1000 acres of the
$4,000 and more of state land in
Beltrami county offered for sale
by State Auditor Iverson, is a
good showing and compares to
advantage with other counties
where sales have been he'd
Much Of the sta e land in this
county is swampy but vi h
drainage it will be as valuable as
any acres in the state. The
amount bought shows that this
is appreciated by the public. :

That the city charter Of Lewiston
does not permit an ordinance directing
the city treasurer to deposit city
moneys in banks offering certain rates
OF interest 10 the gist OF the decision
rendered by Judge Steele yesterday In
the case OF the city of Lewiston vs..
Treasurer Thompson.
The case In question was brought by
the city against City Treasurer
Thompson to compel him to deposit
the city.s money In such banks as
would allow the greatest interest to
the city, and bids for the city deposit
DRY were submitted by the banks sew
eral weeks ago.
Treasurer Thompson refused to
listen to the mandates OF the city coun-
Gil which resulted In an action filed in
the district court compelling him to
follow the orders of the council In the
matter. The case was one known as
friendly test case to determine the
power Of the council in the matter
and general understanding had been
reached whereby the case would be
carried to the supreme court regard
less Of the decision rendered by Judge
Steele. In conformance with this un-
derstanding the appeal In the case
will be filed within the next two weeks
according to statement by City At
torney Cox.

DEPOSIT Law INVALID SAYS
JUDGE STEELE

1.-THE charter OF the city Of Lewiston
does not give the city the right to take
money on deposits" said District
Judge steele, when seen this after
noon. "And while Lewiston has the
same rights as other cities under the
general law there is no provision by
which any city can dictate to what
banks its money must be taken for the
purpose of deriving revenue.
"The charter, after enumerating q
number Of powers given to the council.
states that the city shall have the
same powers as other cities under the
general law, and while the general
law gives the cities the power to order
the city treasurer to deposit the money
in particular banks. It does not say the
city has the power to arrange to draw
interest on this money. And the fact
that the city would be Influenced In
designating to which bank the money
should be taken would be in conflict
with the spirit Of the law. which means
they should select good safe place Of
deposit"
IN making the decision Judge Steele
states that it was with an understand
ing the case would be carried to the
supreme court and the same consider
| alton to the matter was not given as
would have been done had it not been
test case.

An pretty soon he said he guessed

Well. that's right where I seen my

! An told him all about his ways, an
all the things he did.
An said that when he brought him

The mourning of the world will not
