The richness of the ore being mined

county, recently purchased by interests
associated with the North American
Smeltsr and Mines Company, and the
safety of shipments over the railroad

mined is running 81 90 per pound.
Production is being made from six
different points in the mine and these
ore shoots average from one to fifty
ounces gold to the ton. There are
points whore the values are 81, 600

yield several millions Of dollars. As
the extension of the mineral down

A sensation of no little magnitude
has been unearthed here in the de,
partment or the county government

other bidders in the award of con
tracts to his son, and has allowed him
to use convict labor on his contracts
without reimbursement to the county,
although maintained at it's expense
during the service of criminal ten
fences.
Irregularities in the purchase OF
food stuffs are also alleged. County
Judge Joe V. Williams has appointed

tigate the affair, and the probe is al

FEDERAL JUDGE IN CHICAGO
REFUSES TO HEAR CASE
AGAINST CASHIER.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-When the case
of Eric A. Lindstrom, former cashier,
accused of embezzling $4,000 from
the Booth Fisheries Company was
called for trial in the criminal court
today, Judge A. P. Petit declined to
hear it, saying he feared he could not
be fair and impartial.
Judge Petits action was construed
as an expression of disapproval OF the
course of the States Attorney of
Cook county in asking only for a
fine, when w. Vernon Booth and R.
Robbins, officials of the Booth Compa-
My, were accused of obtaining fraud
ulently 100000 from the Contin entail
National Bank. Booth was fined
$4,000 and Robbins discharged, while
the accusation of Lindstrom carries
with it a jail sentence on conviction

Edwin Jones would enjoy seeing the
odd dresses of the party. and the next
morning he notified them all that ne
had consulted a lawyer and was de-
termined to return them to the grand
Jury, unless each one would pay TWEEN
ty-five dollars as a compromise. They
need not pay to him, but could pay 1t
to the officers of the church at Dark's
Mill to repair the church, but with
the threat, that if not paid before the
grand jury met he would prosecute
them to the full extent Of the law.
Four of the Halloween party are con
tr'huting members OF sh;s 2aIne
church and are glad to notice the
very recent show of good will by the
Judge toward their church, but they
do not understand how an <ex-judge,
now a private citizen, can find law to
assess an arbitrary fine Of two nun
dred and twenty-five dollars as com
promise for a crime that he says is Il
felony under the laws of Tennessee,
and force that payment by threats OF
for felonious crime
The Judge may have compromised
many cases while he was coun-
ty Judge but there is no record
that any of the money thus collected
was used to benefit any of the
churches of the county.
A more quiet, peaceful and law
abiding party of like number could
not be gotten up in Maury county
than this mob that he reports, and we
can only account for the childish
fright of the Judge by referring to the
we'll known Bible quotation, Truly
the wicked fleeth when no man pur-
sueth." J. N MERONEY.
