SUFFERS FROM THE HUMPS
Stephen Davis, eldest son or Mr.
and Mrs. Searl S. Davis, has been
confined to his home since Tuesday
with the mumps, that malady that
has affected so many of the house
holds of the city. The Davis family
had planned a vacation trip but the
illness of the son has made necessary
the change in the plans and the
remaining at home for the present at
least. Corbin, a younger son, has
just recently recovered from the
malady.
TROUBLED WITH DOPE FIENDS
Ths police ofT;cer3 have been
troubled in the past few day3 with a
number of canned heat and drug
addicts that have visited the city and
kept the officers busy in rounding
them up. The police have ordered the
men to leave the city and in most
cases the addicts hae complied, but
several have continued to remain and
making it necessary to round them
up and escort them to the city limits
and supervise their departure to
other points.

Mitchell Freed
of Income Tax
Fraud Charges
Jury Trying Banker Gives Verdict
in 24 Hours Mitchell Is
Deeply Moved.
New York, June 22. Charles E.
Mitchell was acquitted today on all
counts in the indictment which
charged him with income tax eva
sion.
The jury which had heard the gov
ernment charges that Mitchell, for
mer chairman of the National City
bank, had cheated the government in
1929 and 1930 of more than 850
thousand dollars in income taxes,
took the case at 11:25 a. m. yester
day.
It returned the verdict a little
more than 24 hours later.
The charges against Mitchell, who
for many years was one of the most
powerful figures in the banking
world, were briefly that he had il
legally failed to report a payment of
$66,666.67 from the National City
company in 1929, and that he had
made sham stock sales to make it ap
pear that ho had suffered such heavy
income loss that he owed no tax in
1929 and 1930.
The stock sale in 1929 was to
Mitchell's wife, and the one in 1930
to W. D. Thornton, president of the
Greefie Cananea Copper company,
The jury had been instructed that
it could convict or acquit on all the
charges together, or could convict or
acquit on any one charge.
The jury returned for instructions
three times, once yesterday and twice
today. It was at the conclusion of
the third appearance of the jury in
the courtroom that the verdict of ac
quitting Mitchell on all counts was
returned.
Leaps to Feet.
Mitchell leaped to his feet as he
heard the words, "Not guilty" pro
nounced in a low voice by James K.
Campbell, foreman, and grabbed the
hand of Max D. Steuer, his counsel
His face was fiery red, his eyes filled
with tears. With Steuer he left the
ourtroom while the jurors were still
n the box.
Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard
requested the jurors not to discuss
the case publicly and dismissed them
"I can't talk now I'm too moved,"
Mitchell said as the crowd pressed
around him as he left the courtroom.
In the brief moment before Mitchell
left the court room, Mrs. George Z.
Medalie, wife of the federal prose
cutor, crossed over and smilingly
shook hands with him and his attor
ney. "With Steuer, he disappeared in the
anteroom where he had spent the
hours waiting for the verdict.
Hits Mob Psychology.
Steuer made this statement:
"This verdict proves that in the
state of New York justice can still
be had by the verdict of a jury; that
neither mob psychology nor emotion
will enter the final determination.
"Mr. Mitchell was absolutely inno
cent of the accusations made against
him as a result of what was deemed
popular demand.
"After a prosecution which fol
lowed a most exhaustive search and
the exercise of the greatest diligence
on the part of the prosecutor, who
presented his case with as great abil
ity as I have ever witnessed, the jury
nevertheless saw the truth and de
cided accordingly." World-Herald.

HOPPERS UNDER C0NTB0L
Grasshopper infestation in the
western Nebraska territory this year
will not be serious, and local peo
ple will be able to handle any dan
ger of damage to crops, says O. S.
Bare of the agricultural college ex
tension service.
The entomologist had been in the
west end of the state, holding bee
keepers meetings sponsored by local
county farm bureaus. While there
he investigated hopper infestation.
The insects are hatching in some
scattered areas but the situation is
far from serious, he said.
Bare will be dispatched to the
northeastern sectio nof the state Mon
day by director Brokaw of the exten
sion service to co-operate with other
authorities now there to help farm
ers control hopper infestation. A
carload of poison bran mash was to
arrive in Ainsworth Friday to be
distributed to Keya Paha county
rmers. Bare will hold meetings in
that county and explain proper
methods of spreading the poison.
In the western Nebraska territory
prospects for a good 1933 honey crop
are good. Bare reported. The yellow
sweet clover bloom is out and honey
flow is just starting. Practically none
of the 1932 crop is available in that
section.
