DO you know when your brother

Il don't know that he stopped wear

1t was contended by the prosecution
that Captain Hans had stopped wear

cause of his near sightedness, this
would account in a manner for the pc

Auditor, Made Victims of His Wrath
-Stonebraker Arrested.

Special to Times-Republican.
Rockwell City, May 3.-On Saturday
evening, B. e. Stonebraker, ex-county
auditor, viciously assaulted George w.
Spencer, who has from time to time
related things apparently irregular in
connection with Stonebraker's official
record. Spencer declined to fight, but
parried Stonebraker's blows, and soon
had him arrested, and Mayor Noel
fined him.
Report has it that Stonebraker then
made an attack on T. w. McCrary ex-
county treasurer, but Constable Hart
ley prevented, or rather stopped this
assault.
The third man to be assaulted was
Byron Mattison, editor OF the Calhoun
County Repulic Jean. Mattison, like
Spencer, refusud to fight back, and
suffered some cuts and bruises before
friends interfered and took charge Of
Stonebraker. Editor Mattison has
been outspoken in his exposure OF
Stonebraker's official record 1t is an
unhappy affair all around and much
local excitement prevails.

charges against Federal Judges John
F. Phillips and Smith Mcpherson, of

troduced a resolution today to invests
gate their conduct in the litigation be-
tween the state and railroad compan-
les over the maximum freight law

law.
The preamble claims the two Judges
accompanied certain railroad attor-
neys on fishing trip, on which oc-
casion members of the party were ar
rested for violating the game laws of
the state. The resolution charges that
Judge Phillips neglects his duty by
continued absence from the bench and

session for only four hours each day.
The resolution recites the various
phases Of the litigation, including a
statement that the railroad companies
agreed to establish certain rates with
in Missouri in violation of the state
anti-trust law. 1t is stated the two
judges rendered certain decisions
which in effect usurped the legislative
powers Of the legislature.
