MYSTERIOUS MITCHELL CASE.

Some time ago Mr.. ". II. Mitchell.
says The Ocala Banner. one OF the
most prominent and best beloved
men CT Tholnasville, Ga, was arrest
ed. charged with an attempt 70 ab-
duct a Miss Lucille Linton, n beauti-
ful and accomplished young woman
OF that city.
The evidence disclosed the fact that
Mitchell had sent a wire TO Miss
Linton from a nearby station 10 which
vas signed her brothers name. The
message stated that he had been hurt
in a runaway accident, and wanted
her to come To him. Re sent a We.
hicle for her and said that she could
trust herself with the driver.
IL Is alleged that Mitchell was IN,
driver OF the vehicle. and had dis.
guised himself as a negress.
In the progress OF the drive Miss
Linton became suspicious, as she
was satisfied that she vas not on the
right road to the little station.
She finally heard an approaching We.
hicle, and made an cutlery. and the
occupant came TO her assistance and
rescued her. In the confusion which
followed the driver escaped
II was in evidence that Mitchell had
a country place nearby, and in a
search which followed. the gown and
bonnet the disguised negro woman
wore were found hanging on a nail
near the bottom OF a well on the
place and il was discovered that the
house had been wired with electric
warning bells.
While sitting in chair at his
home some time afterwards Mitchell
was shot from ambush. and was bad
ly wounded in the foot.
Mitchell claimed that the whole
thing was a plot to ruin him. Public
sentiment was and Is still divided.
Mitchell up TO that time had been
a man OF irreproachable character.
He was popular in the community.
He was married and had grown chill
dren. He was a model husband. and
in his troubles his wife stood Loyalty
by him.
Mitchell was convicted and after
a hard-fought battle in the courts TO
reverse the jury's decision he lost
out. and the pardon board and Cover.
nor refused TO interfere, and he is
compelled to serve his sentence on
the chain gang and in stripes.

A PERSONAL CRITICISM.
An Appreciation of 1.-THE Lion and
the Mouse" Coming TO the
Grand Saturday.
o the patrons of the Grand:

To the patrons of the Grand
l am particularly anxious that
theatre goers of Winneshiek county
snould know exactly what sort of an
attraction THE Lion and the
Mouse" which is to play here Sat
urday evening, is. | simply want TO
give the readers of this paper my
own opinion about it, as / have seen
it played in New York, at the Lyce-
um Theatre, where it has run for
nearly two years. | have seen a
good many good productions, during
my travels to New York, but never
has it been my good fortune to see
anything quite as good and all salts
flying, as this great play. The cast,
which comes to Decorah is almost
the identical one that presented the
play in New York, and | recommend
that all those who possibly can,
should attend the theatre Saturday
evening, because the play teaches a
lesson the like of which, only can
be otherwise learned by experience.
There is not one single Objectionable
character or line in the whole play
1t is pure and wholesome. Its theme
is, the bad effect that wealth has on
politics. The play also unfolds a
most delightful. interesting love
story. 1t is play for the people of
all classes except the big financial
crook. / would like every citizen of
our county to see the play, as l have
no hesitancy in saying that THE
Lion and the Mouse" is the strong
est drama of social and financial life
ever produced on the Amc"ionr
stage.
The above is my criticism of the
play, and l am willing to stake my
theatrical reputation on it.
Very sincerely,
BEN BEAR.
