MITCHELL SENTENCE DELAYED
Objections Raised to Agreemest Of
Reupendeat to waive Rights.

HeHpondent 10 Waive hsBhss
Justice Wright yesterday did not sen1
tence John Mitchell. vice president of
the American Federation Of Labor, re-
Gently adjudged in contempt OF court.
The committee of prosecutors raised obs
jections TO the form Of the agreement of
the respondent to waive his rights In
the matter.
The objection was based on the theory
that the statement had the appearance OF
having been executed In compliance with
an order Of the court or suggestion OF
the court, rather than being q request
from the labor leader. The court ex-
tended the date of sentence indefinitely
to give Mitchell another opportunity to
make request II he SO desires. 1t
is expected that Mitchell will make the
request at once and that sentence will
be passed within the next week.

like the niger VINO was accused OF
stealing a hot stove. There were so
many white men implicated that the
case against the niger was dropped"
The above remark was made by
Hans Graves, a well known early day
character, when accused Of arson In
connection with one Of the numerous
fires that occurred when the present
Pennington county court house was
under construction.
The building, always a ramshackle
affair, may soon be replaced, IL a move
ment set on foot by President Soule, Of
the Bar association, meets with en-
couragement. Petitions will be cir
culated throughout the county asking
the commissioners to consider the mat
ter when they meet January 2 for the
consideration Of county business.
A committee will also be selected to
review the structure and report upon
it's defects. Among other things the
building as II stands today is unsafe
and the county has grown to such an
extent that the quarters of all the
county officials are congested. The
vaults are full Of collected material
and are inadequate to accommodate the
growing business of the county.
