den Russell. it can be safely stated
that neither the warden nor the menu
TDers Of the prison board OF control
will be removed. The fight on Mr..
Russell was mainly conducted by the
Detroit Journal. which persistently
attacked him and presented in its coll
umns all the testimony against him
1t could gather. 1t seemed to be pure
ly and simply a political fight, in
which the Journal was out to get the
warden. This, apparently. was recog-
nized by the governor. who has re-
peatedly stated that Warden Russelrs
conduct of the prison has met with
his approval AS TO corporal punish
ment he believes that in some cases it
is necessary to maintain discipline.
Just what action may be taken by the
legislature regarding contract labor

lecturer for a collection of portraits of
Indian chiefs and finally he landed in
the dry goods store of his uncle, ID. ID.
Baxter, in Lowell. That business was
not exciting enough for young Den
man and he soon returned to the
