GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST EAMMEI Statements by Attorneys, Messrs Stevenson and Matheson. Who An Outspoken in Their Declaration t( the Courts. Reflects Very Serious ly on the Ex Chief Constable of the State Constabulary. ? 4'The affidavits were obtained by i method of legerdemain, which ir most instances smacks of fraud, anc men like Mr. Tate of Eutawvile were tricked by their former chum, Mr Hammet, into signing ignorantlj what was not true," is the positive characterization of the arts of U. B Hammet, deputy collector of interna revenue for South Carolina and for mer chief dispensary constable fo: South Carolina, contained in the brie! of Messrs. Stevenson & Matheson attorneys for the State dispensary commission in the matter of the assessments of internal revenue taxes against the State of South Carolina. On the strength of affidavits alleg ed to have been secured from various dispensers throughout the State officqprs serving under him and now or file in the office of Maj. Micah Jenkins, collector of internal revenue for the district of South Carolina, demand was made upon the dispensary commission on May 7, for $32,527 foi license fees claimed to be due the United States government as a result of the fact, as alleged, that dispensers had sold beer in greater quantities than 4 7-8 gallons in single sales, making them liable to the wholesale liquor dealers license; $4,527 of this amount^ covered a period of fifteen months'prior to the date when the demand was made upon the commission for settlement; the other $28,000 being charged up for the period beyond that date. The dispensary commission paid the first named amount, $4,527, under protest and on July 2 W. F. Stevenson appeared before the commission oi internal revenue, John G. Capers, at Washington, and argued for the refunding of the amount, his grounds being: (1) That there was no prooi that sales were made in wholesale quantities; (2) that, if the prooi were convincing that dispensers had made sales in greater quantities than 41-8 gallons, the State would not be liable insomuch as any such action would be clearly in violation of the statute law of the State and of inf structions given to the dispensers from time to time by those in authority. Mr. Stephenson submitted numerous! affidavits to the commissioner oi internal revenue from dispensers throughout the State, and, according to those affidavits, Mr. Hammet had resorted to most questionable means to secure the affidavits winch, it is said, are on file at the office of Maj. Jenkins. Several of the affidavit* submitted by Mr. Stephenson contair charges against Mr. Hammet of a serious nature. It? is alleged thai Hammet secured the affidavits in a fraudulent manner, and, not onlj that, but that he made interlineations after the affidavits were signed.?

M. Cunningham.] T Major Henderson of Lone Jack an5 nounces that he will shoot us on sight. . We hope he will pay us the borrowed 1 money he owes us first, p We have a communication from the F Black Hand of New Mexico demanding that we put the sum of $1,000,000 > under a certain stone within thirty T days or suffer death. J j Mine host of the White Wolf hotel has been somewhat perturbed for the last five days. A Philadelphia saddlery drummer who was a guest of J the house kicked because his table knife happened to lack a handle and t . n J iiii! I j KICKED BECAUSE HIS TABLE KNIFE pAPPINED TO LACK A HANDLE. 1 . because the shine had worn off his teaspoon, and in the altercation resulting 1 he was shot through the shoulder. Mine host, who is a new man from I Idaho, shouldn't worry about such i trifles. Tliev are incidental to every , busy community. The old landlord thought times were dull when he didn't pepper at least two kickers per week. t Bill Hope and Jack Downer of Grass Valley fired ten or twelve shots . at each other on the street the other s day without effect and were then ar( rested fbr disturbing the peace. The holy terror is a thing of the past, in' deed. ? , - i We understand that a protest against j us as postmaster has gone to Washington because of the horse race the other day in which we rode our own * horse and came out ahead. It will be 1 in vain. The postmaster general k knows a good thing when he sees, it, - and we are a good thing. i r Mr. William Lee of Chicago was j here the other day looking for his son Henry,i from whom he had not heard for a ^ear. We aided the coroner to look over his books, and it was discovered that the missing Henry was [ reposing under a yew tree over on Wolf creek. He got all mixed up on horses about six months ago. t We believe that if a thousand mar[ riageable young women were brought t; out here from the east each and [ every one of them could find a husband within a week. We also believe t that 090 of the thousand would wish 1 they hadn't before the end of the first J fortnight We did intend to lie about our circulation this week, but one thing and t another has happened to call our mind elsewhere. Watch out for next week. We have got a hair raiser of a statement coming. For the moment it is enough to say that we are hitting the I billion mark again and that the em? press of China is writing us private letters and begging our advice as to how to run her old Empire. On Tuesday evening last at the meeting of the common council Alderman Finnegan denied our ruling that an amendment to a motion must be voted on first, and he started to draw to uphold his contention. He was slow, as usual, and when he found that we had him covered he sat down and subsided. The mayor who can't run a council with Cushing's Manual and a gun i is a dead failure, f j Our esteemed contemporary, whom we have not mentioned for the past two months, claims to have shot at us last Friday night as we were returning from a party on Cochise place. Perhaps he did. This is the first we 5 have heard of the affair, but we don't i ' _t . M 91. 1 1 want to wilt a single ieat 111 ms iaurei I crown. t.

The Lover's Application For the Hand of the Judge's Daughter. The judge's daughter was perturbed. "Papa," she said, knitting her pretty brow, 'T am in doubt as to whether I have kept to the proper form of I procedure. In law one can err in so ? many little technicalities that I am ever fearful. Now, last evening, George"? The judge looked at her so sharply ^ over his glasses that she involuntarily paused. "I thought you had sent him about his business," he said. "I did hand down an adverse dec-ic4r>r? " cho nnexvered "nnd he declared that he would appeal. However. I g convinced him that I was the court of last resort in a case like that, and that ^ no appeal would lie from my decision." II "Fossibly the court was assuming a little more power than rightfully be- % longs to it," said the judge, thought- ^ fully; "but let that pass. What did he do then?" ? "He filed a petition for a rehearing." ^ "The usual course," said the judge, "but it is usually nothing but a mere formality." "So I thought," returned the girl, ^ "and I was prepared to deny it without argument, but the facts set forth ~ in his petition were sufficient to make lj me hesitate and wonder whether his j case had really been properly present- a ed at the first trial." "Upon what grounds did he make ^ the application?" asked the judge. scowling. "Well," she replied, blushing a little, i "you see he proposed by letter, and his = contention was that the case was of that peculiar character that cannot be g properly presented by briefs, but de- | mands oral arguments. The fact that jr the latter had been omitted, he held, | should be held an error, and the point | was such a novel one that I consented to let him argue it. Then his argument was so forceful that I granted his petition, and consented to hear the whole case again. Do you think"? "I think," said the judge, "that the court favors the plaintiff."?Chicago Post. 0 n Womanly Logic.
