COL. PEARSALL APPEALED TO.

1t is a dangerous thing for a man
to win a reputation d~eservedly OF be-
ing an encyclopedia of history and
tradition unless he wishes to give all
his time to the public, but when a
man gains a reputation of any sort he
must pay for 1t and the penalty for
greatness is service to the public. our
friend, Col. p. M. Pearsall having en-
lightened the world on the origin Of
the saying .Huckleberry above your
Persimmon' must now be ready to
answer all questions that puzzle the
less diligent students of history and
tradition. The Rockingham Post,
which started the Huckleberry and
Persimmon inquiry, is now seeking
Information upon another important
matter. It gives the story of a very
remarkable man in that community
and ISL Col. Pearsall a question that
would puzzle anybody except such an
authority. The question of the Post
is as follows:
do you know Sam McMullen? He
is the tall, erect, gray-headed fig
ure that you have seen ten or fifteen
feet down in the water main ditch or
sewer pipe ditch. He is 85 yeas old.
He was born in West India. He ays
his father was an Italian and his
mother an Indian. One cold Friday
in 1845 Prof. Johns stole him from
his mother, and kept him eight years,
when General Jordan stole him and
carried him to Tampa, Fla. He lived
with him thirteen years. He has a
wife and four children. But what we
are talking about is the wonderful
endurance of this man nearly ninety
years Of He walks five miles out
of town and cuts his two cords of s.
foot wood, gets his $50 and is at
nome long before the sun disappears
IN the west. Why this cross should
produce such vitality and longevity
we do not comprehend, 50 We refer
the matter to Col. P. NJ. Pearsall, OF

It is just as easy to go through life

hopeful instead of the despairing-to

opened up making it more convenient
for the farmers to get to town. The
business men put up about $400, or
half the cost of opening one road to

O'NEIL GETS JURY TRIAL.
Value of Stolen Goods Means Much
to Defendant.

After pleading guilty TO a charge
of grand larceny J. O'Neil will be
given jury trial. O'Neil was arrest
ed at Tekoa last week charged with
stealing carpenters tools, said to be
valued at $50, from Henry Fritsche.
When arraigned in superior court
the defendant said he did not wish
an attorney and entered a plea of
guilty" Judge Thomas Neill was
not satisfied as to the value of the
tools stolen and asked to have the
prosecuting witness brought in. At
ter the witness testified to the value
OF the tools the Judge appointed At
tOrney c. F. Voorhees, to defend
O'Niel. Voorhees, asked for a jury
trial and the case was set for No
vember % at 1:3O o'clock.
When the value of stolen articles
is less than $25 the offense is petty
larceny, punishable by Imprisonment
in the county Jail for term not to
exceed one year. If the value of the
stolen articles is more than $25 the
offense constitutes grand larceny,
which is punishable by term of not
less than six months in the peniten-
tiary.

JUDGE And ATTORNEY
SAY REPORT IS FALSE
IMPRESSION or THEIR .ATTI-
TUDE on BOONE PARDON.

Judge H. w Garfield takes excep-
ton to an article which appeared in
the COmmoner of October p in
which that newspaper states it has it
on the best OF authority that Judge
H. w. Garfield has written a strong
letter urging a pardon for H. NJ.
Boone. The Judge says:
Il, myself, am the best authority
on what | have written. Any state
ment that / have either by letter or
otherwise urged, advised or request
ed executive clemency for Mr.. Boone
is unQualifiedly false"
Charles Chamberlain, who was
prosecuting attorney of Whitman
county at the time Mr.. Boone was
tried before Judge Garfield, says:
my attention having been called
to the article stating that ! had join
ed in the plea for clemency in the
application for the pardon of H. NJ
Boone, l deem it fair to myself to
state that the writer of the article
was in error in SO stating, as / have
not done so and do not intend to do
So"
Neither Judge Garfield, Attorney
Chamberlain nor the Gazette wishes
to strike a man when he is down.
These statements are given publicity
simply to enlighten people who are
being imposed upon.
