Mule Team a Deadly Weapon.

San Diego, CAL, Jan. PA Judge
held that a team of Missouri mules
may be considered a deadly weapon
for the reason that "the vicious high
kicking animals led toward a Suppos-
ed enemy, may do bodily harm with
their hind heels. y The decision was
rendered in the preliminary hearing
of Cleve Walsh, arrested on a charge
Of assault with intent to commit MUIR
der by shooting +. w. Zilba.
Walsh pleaded self defense and
said he had a quarrel with Zilba, who
is a teamster Among the various
weapons used to settle the score as
stated to-day were whips, shovels,
pitchforkS, shotguns, revolvers and
last but not least a team of mules.
After the fight Zilba, driving a team
of mules, met Walsh, who swore
Zilba drove the animals straight into
him. AS the long cared Missouri
products were about to raise their
hind legs to kick him Walsh sidestep-
ped and drew a revolver and shot at
Zilba.
The judge said no jury in Cali
fornia would convict a man who was
defending himself against the attack
of vicious mules and ordered the de-
fendant discharged.

Why Not Higher Up?

Four employees of the sugar trust
have been sent to Jail. The sentence
of each of these men was for one
year. The sugar scandals showed
that frauds on a large scale had been
carried on to the great financial ad-
vantage of the sugar trust. Surely
the employees who helped to carry
out these frauds did not devise the
plans for robbery from pure anxiety
to see their employers flourish. Surely
the already rich men who grew richer
through these bad practices had
Something to do with the frauds;
yet they are to escape while four en-
ployes go to prison.
1t was so in the insurance frauds.
The investigation of those frauds
brought fame to Lawyer Hughes and
made him governor of New York.
Although enormous frauds were un-
covered the rich and influential in
Surance magnates went scot free
while an obscure clerk received a
prison sentence.
Will the American people ever
have such an administration of pub
lie affairs that they will not be treat
ed to lot of buncombe as an excuse
for the non-enforcement of criminal
law?
Does it not seem reasonable to be-
lieve that they will never have such
an enforcement of the law so long as
they surrender the reins of govern
ment to political party that is finan-
ced by the monopolists?-Commoner
