REPLIES TO THE CHARGE

In response to the action preferred
against him by special agents, and
having something of the SAVIOR of poll
tics behind it, United States Commits
sioner Theodore Turner has issued
the following statement:
Charges made by field agents of the
department of the interior that ex-
cessive fees have been collected by
me are based upon a theory that fees
paid to attorneys and land companies
preparing papers, which have been
sworn to before me, should be re-
garded as fees collected by me. l
have never at any time collected any
fees for services as United States
commissioner in excess of those al
lowed me by law.
The charge of having improperly
taken testimony in final proofs and
certified as to such taking of testi-
mony is disproven by the govern
ment's own witnesses. The charge of
improper advice is not worthy of any
more serious attention than the other
two charges, and no testimony can
be produced to support such charges.
am not guilty in any sense of the
word OF any of the charges preferred,
as the testimony produced at the hear
ing indisputably proved. I will be
fully vindicated when the matter is
passed upon by the proper officials.

A STRENUOUS
CHARIVARI

Last Monday night Clarence Perct
val Jones and his bride, who had re-
turned the previous night from a
short but very pleasant wedding
trip, were the recipients of an un-
avoidable display Of friendship in the
form of a tin can serenade. The
newly weds had tip as to the noe
turnal visit that had been planned fer
them and left their happy home to
escape it, taking refuge in a number
Of places before they were captured
When the tincan brigade visited the
home of the newly weds and found
they had flown they Immediately went
in search Of them and finally dis
covered them in Mr.. Jones' printing
office, where they were attracted by a
light. When Mr.. Jones and bride
heard the noisy approach of their
friends they locked the doors and put
out the lights, but such precaution
was in vain as the intruders entered
by the rear entrance and a key OF
their own. After listening to the
din of cans until the serenaders got
tired Of beating them, the newlyweds
were escorted to the sidewalk and
rendered a ride home in the Com
mercial hotel handcart Mrs. Jones'
declination to ride was finally &C.
cepted, but her husband was not ac-
corded that privilege and was forced
aboard the cart and was thus con-
veyed by about 100 male and female
friends to his new abode on Pine
street, where the serenaders and their
newly welded friends parted in the
best of spirits.
