Yet i wonder what other petty fault

The queer thing about our slavery

FROM LOCAL COURT RECORDS


Baker Walls, who was taken with
the blind tiger opefds6sssto Dam
vile by Deputy U. S. Marshal Cole
man, last week, was released under
bond furnished by c. Z. Tate for ap-
pearance before the Commissioner
on February 8. Those who know
the history of this case, know that
he will be released when the Com
missioner hears the evidence. Bill
Murray, the negro who was con-
victed, for selling whisky to Abe
Gum, was also bailed cdt by Denham
Bros, his employers, for whom he
drives a coal wagon.
It develops that U. S. Marshal Sc
cured all Of his evidence upon which
he swore out warrants for the ac-
oused from the records of the city
court, the prisoners having been
previously convicted there, and that
he did not ferret out the "tiger" OPP
orators himself as was the common
impression at the time he made the
arrests here. Moreover, there are
many other cases on the records
which he did not consider, or swear
out warrants for, one or two Of the
offenders being in Jail at the pres
ent time, the arrests having been
made by Chief Of Police B. d. Car
ter and the convictions by Judge
Menefee. Mr.. Carter recently land

under SIS fine for selling whisky,
but had skipped town. Saiter slip

possible, without being seen. and the
Chief picked him up. Chief Carter
says that if the good people of the
town who want the "tigers" cleaned
up will only cooperate with him, he
will do everything in his power to
wipe them out.

The sensation in political circles
last week was the break between
Gov. Wilson, Of New Jersey, Col.
Harvey editor Of Harper's Weekly
as reported by Col. Watterson edi-
tor of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. Gov. Wilson has not given his
version of the incident. He has been
both criticised and eulogized for his
action. What effect it will have up
on his political fortunes remain to
be scent Col. Watterson thinks
that the incident shows Governor
Wilson to be more Of schoolmas-
ter than q statesman. Perhaps a
schoolmaster would not be a bad
thing for the nation at the present
time, if he should teach the right
political lessons in the right way.
