AN OPEN LETTER.
Duluth, Sept. 18th, 1906.
Hon. j. B. Middleton,
Duluth, Mimi.


Dear Sir
In your letter to the ELY Miner"
explaining your Connection with the
Clark Mine Case you plead abso-
lutte ignorance of the Sale" in your
effort to shift all the responsibility on
Judge Harmon and clear yourself and
your office of that case. l quote from
that letter in which you say: son
account of ill-health. l left Duluth
May II, 1903. and returned about July
10th, 1903" & "My attention was
first called to the case several months
after the sale was made"
You refer to the Sale" as if the
order confirming sale was the only
transaction in the matter in the Pro
bate Court, and as you were absent
when such order was made that you
were therefore absolutely ignorant of
the whole case.
Ash understand the record, the
petition for license to sell was filed
with you, May 1st, 1903, and on that
date you made the order for hearing
on such application for license to sell
the interests of the minor heirs in
these lands, at private sale, and YOU
fixed the date Of hearing for the 25th
of May, 1908, and then absented your
self from your office and the city, as
you say, ION account of ill-health"
on May 18th, 1903. just eight days
prior to the date of hearing fixed ''by
you" and eleven days before the con-
frmation of Report of Sale. You
afterward made the order for the re-
moval of the funds, and must then
have reviewed the whole case. You
thus conducted the initial and closing
proceedings of such sale, and could
not have been as ignorant of the case
as your explanation would imply.
When you went away on May 18th,
1908, you knew from the records of
your office that the case would come
up, on May 18th. and you also knew
that Judge Harmon could only be
| present between trains, at noon and
3:15 D. M, so that he could only spend
short time in the office, and had TO
and did rely on your office in prepar-
| ing the orders and arranging the
business OF the Court. In the Rogers
case he found that the papers had
been prepared awaiting his ar
rival, and he evidently acted in
good faith under the explanations
made to him. He received no COM
pensation for his services in holding
Court for you, and his actual expenses
of $47 90 during such time were paid
by the County. You received the
emoluments, but evidently iwish him
to bear the responsibility Of your
Office in this particular case. You
have frequently been absent, and
other Judges have officiated for you.
1t is now a pertinent question, in
case you shall be elected, whether you
propose to assume the responsibility
of your office in safeguarding the in
tepests of minors, or whether you will
be absent and shift the responsibility
on Judge of another County as In
the Rogers case?
am writing this an an open letter
to you, in view of your published ex-
