The Bosses Rebuked

III Judge Ira Robinson is not really
the candidate OF the Hatfield wing of
the Republican party he may have oc-
casion before election day to ask to
be saved from the hands of his friends.
for IL is very clear that the Hatfield
machine is determined to appropriate

from his candidacy The governors

and the Ogden papers I'm this city and
Parkersburg urged the Judge to resign
from the Supreme bench, and they are
committed to his support as against
all the other worthy Republicans who
are seeking or who may seek the CUB
ernatorial nomination.
The friends Of General Lilly and Mr..
Darst are naturally incensed at this
action OF Republican newspapers from
which they feel that they have the
right 20 expect better treatment. and
already there are mutterings OF dis
satisfaction which may develop into
irreconcilable opposition 20 the Hat

tors that II they would saw wood

people want for governor. they would

says:
There are several asplrants for the
nomination for governor. Judge Rob

come near bursting our boiler several

essary stones at other Republicans
comes with poor grace just at this
time. Better wait tin the ring is full
Of hats before choosing"

Sorry for Robinson

The Buckhannon Delta, the leading
Republican paper OF Upshur county,
says:
The many friends Of Judge Ira r.
Robinson regret his determination to
resign HIS judgeship and enter the
race for the nomination for governor.
Not that Judge Robinson is not deem
cd gubernatorial timber; he has been
SO considered for years. The cause
for regret is that Judge Robinson has
allied himself with the Hatfield fac
ton, and thus rendered Il impossible
for many Of his admirers to support
him at this time. We believe Judge
Robinson is too good a man to be
hooked up with that sort Of crowd.

A FINE POINT AT ISSUE.
If Alfalfa is Grass, Killing of Deer Was
Illegal.

| Brattleboro, June l7.--Upon the YER
1 dict of the county court as to whether
alfalfa is grass or crop will depend
the fate, under the deer law, of Morris
| Chamberlain, farmer of the West Brat
tleboro section, who has appealed from
the decision of Judge Z. Barbar of the
municipal court that he is guilty of kill
| ing a deer out of season, the court hold
ing that the deer was not killed in the
act of damaging the crops. A fine of
500 and costs of 1856 was imposed
and Attorney w. R. Daley, who repre-
scented the respondent, appealed. Mr..
Chamberlain was released on his personal
recognizance of $50.
Mr.. Chamberlain killed deer which
he found in one of his alfalfa fields and
reported the fact. Game Warden George
p. Alexander of Saxtons River arrested
him, the claim being that no damage
had been done in that field and that al.
falfa was grass. The law specifically
states that it is unlawful to kill deer
for eating grass. Another alfalfa field
of the respondent had been badly dam
aged.
States Attorney 0. B. Higgins argued
that Chamberlain was guilty because he
had killed the animal for eating grass,
maintaining that alfalfa came under that
head. Attorney Daley, who was called
into the case after it had progressed for a
time, maintained that the animal was
killed while in the act of damaging
crops and that, under the law. Chamber
lain had n right to kill IL and ranorf
the case to the warden, as he had done.
