News OF the Courts
DEMANDS WITNESS BE
SEARCHED FOR REVOLVER
Complainant Throws Off Coat and
Insists on Search, but Court
Refuses to Allow Such
Proceedings

An assertion by former Judge A. ].
King that Louis N. Rain, one of the
principal officers of the Rain Con-
solidated Oil company had made
threats of violence and demand that
he be searched for weapons created a
sensation in Justice Pierce's court yes
terday.
Rain, who had just taken the witness
chair to testify concerning a charge
he had filed against Burdette Chand-
Ter, the well known oil man, jumped
to his feet, throwing off his coat, told
Chambers attorneys to go ahead
with your search"
Justice Pierce prevented any further
demonstration by commanding RAIN
to don his coat.
Major John A Payne, secretary Of
the Rain company, and associated
with Deputy District Attorney NC
CartneX in prosecuting the case, called
on the court to demand an explana-
ton from King, whose remarks he
declared were a base insinuation, but
Justice Pierce refused to hear any
thing more on the matter.
Chandler was arrested several days
ago, charged by Rain with embezzl-
ing SIS. After testifying the money
has been given to Chandler to aid him
in perfecting beach oil claims in July,
the complaint was ordered dismissed,
Justice Pierce ruling it was defective
because it stated the money was the
personal property of Rain while the
testimony showed it belonged jointly
to Rain and his father, S. K. Rain.
Later another complaint was issued
and Chandler was again arrested. He
was released on bonds to appear Sep
tember % for preliminary examination.
According to H. B. White, attorney
for Chandler, the trouble is due to a
quarrel among the stockholders of the
Rain company, the first break oc-
curing when Chandler filed suit
against the company sometime ago
in which he demanded an accounting
of the affairs of the concern.
"We understood Rain had made
threats to kill somebody and that is
the reason why Mr.. King made his
assertion" said Attorney Wood.

Backed BY No Faction
Owned By No One

Indeed, 1t is reported that one Frost
burger told him he would be a danger
Gus man to send to the Senate that the
county had no business with represent
ative who could not be handled" etc.
If correctly reported, this is a singular
to hold.
The good man in the Legislature who
cannot be swayed from what he thinks
right is the ideal representative.
The good man-if he errs, as all good
men sometimes do, is a better "trustee
of an express trust" than the man who
holds his vote as proxy from lobby
ist, promoter, faction, or even party.
An unintentional mistake by a good
representative is most often redeemable;
nominal one, corruptly made, hardly
ever.
Enough is stated to warrant the lesson
to men of all party inclinations support
those candidates who have 1.-THE courage
of their good convictions, who make
their patriotic StatuS known fully as they
can beforehand.
Under no circumstances bestow coun-
tenance upon the corrupt theory that a
representative of the people is the custo-
dian of the other end of a button connec-
ton which only faction, or individual
or corporation can push.
Mr.. Mullin does the honestly proper
thing. If no faction backs him, he is
right in saying so. If he belongs to no.
body, he does nobly in asserting his
freedom.
For quoting the great Ralph Waldo
Emerson on one occasion
Nothing in politics astonishes the people
more than the TRUTH and nothing astounds
politicians more than declarations of indie
pendence.'

Not a Complete Case.

\ broken pitcher was offered as testimony
that EphraiIn Jackson, the colored prisoner,
had whacked his wife on the head.
The testimony doesn't hold water" said
the learned Judge Boheneinp.
That is an infringement upon my
theory" said ex-ump. Gerlach. Pitch
ers do not break When a bat gets
busted, it is the batter who does it. Be-
sides that, the pitcher does not hold
water; ne holds the ball until time to
unwind his superstructure, and then he
makes it a pebble of curling woe to the
gent who wants to press agin it with his
little wooden comforter. And then if
there is any one thing the honest ump.
doesn't want it is testimony"

The JOURNAL has an invitation from
Historical Pageant, at Bath, England, an
outdoor function which will begin Mon
day, July 10, and close Saturday, July
n, next. Bath is one of England's old
towns. Ruled by the Romans nearly
400 years, it was, early as 100 A. D.,
"full of beautiful buildings and place
of ease, wealth and culture" In Eng
land it is known as 1.-The City of Fash
ion" but i'll July the people will call it
1.-The City of Pageantry.' The mana
gers point with pride to the fact that
Bath has l3 namesakes ION the 10 them
other side of the Atlantic 1t must be
a pretty town-nearly as pretty as Frost
burg, for as early as l19l Fanny Burney
wrote of it looking like city of palaces
"a town of hills and hill of towns.
The JOURNAL is open for election as
private secretary to any rich Allegany-
county Englishman who wants to see
the biggest display under Royal patron
age ever proposed on English soil. In
this event alsoit illpledge itself not to
run next fall for "any office within the
GIFT of any clique, faction or party"
To James A. Wood, director of ex-
ploitation, the JOURNAL is indebted tor
an elegantly embossed and printed in-
