Judge Yeager Has a Last Word
- To The Times:
" In reply to “A Final Word,” by Mr.
Bullock, I wish to say:
"M That said article is well sprinkled
•with the names of men which I regard
as a favorable augery of a satisfactory
•settlement of our misunderstandings,
—„for they are each capable of reaching
correct conclusions, once they get
their consent to make an effort to do
so, and I include Mr. Bullock in this
statement Each is reputed to be
among our very best citizens.
Now, gentlemen, I wish each of you,
•and appeal to each of you to go with
me on a short voyage of discovery
for a panacea that will cleanse each of
cur systems. I think it is to be found
in part in the field of law. You seem
to have, confounded what is my duty
as an individual with what it is as an
official. These two duties are very
unlike, so please attend while I make
this plain to you:
I Much of our law is known as the
unwritten law, and it is a branch of
this unwritten law that I wish your
minds to encompass. This branch of
the law is founded on the experiences
of the ages, and is so old “that the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary." It is the law of propriety
I that all judges must obey, to hold the
■ respect of the people, for, if they love
■ any one thing above another, it is fair-
ness Hike to contestants and con-
I cestees by any umpire or any judge.
To be absolutely fair every judge
must be able to disregard friend or
I foe alike, or his likes or dislikes. To
illustrate; -a particular lawyer friend
of mine is fighting hard to get up a
case in my court; another lawyer
which I dislike very much is also
fighting hard for delay; I discover
that my friend lawyer will go out of
court, If 1 or some one else does not
give him a word of needed advice, and
there wells up in me almost a com-
Felling desire to help my friend, but
the law of propriety holds me in
check. Which should I obey, my in-
olinations or the law? Firmness and
decision of character demands of me
to follow the law, for to do otherwise
I would lose the respect of my friend
and the bar in general, for no judge
• can show favoritism and retain the
respect of any bar. The same princi-
ple applies to umpires of games. He
cannot assist one side in the contest
and remain an umpire. I could not
under the same law of propriety call
for your petition while a contest be-
tween yourselves and other represent-
ative citizens was up, loking to an
agreement for future action on said
petition. Neither could 1 under the
same rule of propriety have interfered
had said petition been on the table
with jurisdiction in the court estab-
lished, if you had seen fit to join in
the other contest. Had you refused
te be led off and had you demanded
that the court proceed, and had the
court refused to do so, then your criti-
cism of the action of the court would
have been justified and I would not
now be asking for re-election.
The above would have been true
had I‘known the law as it is, viz.: that
two commissioners and the county
judge acting together is a quorum for
ALL business, except that of levying
a tax. I did at the time know the law
as it is, except for the doubt express-

A corrugated
ed by the high authority heretofore
mentioned. After hearing said expres-
sion of doubt, I would not have acted
on my judgment without further in-
vestigation.
There was nothing at that time be-
fore the court requiring me to make
further investigation. Your commit
tee came into the court room with its
mind fully made up that it expected
no action on that day by the members
present, I am persuaded to believe.
One member in particular came in
with a chip on his shouler and an omi-
nous look that portended trouble. He
repeatedly challenged someone to
knock it off. He did not seem to
know, or care much, who should un-
dertake the job. Your attitude on
that occasion did not look to me as
though you placed much confidence in
anyone, present. You had already re-
ceived what advice you thought nec-
essary and asked none from members
present who were there patiently
waiting jurisdiction to attach. Walk
the floor a little, gentlemen; throw
back your shoulders, and those of you
who have hair, on your heads, run
your fingers through it a time or two,
and those of you lacking hirsute ap-
pendage, scratch a little, and see if
you cannot recall the fact that the
direct question as to quorum hereto-
fore referred to was asked of an ex-
judge, who refused to give # nopinion.
That now famous fumbling exhibition
of mine ought not to have deceived
you beyond repair. If it was my good
humor tactics, resorted to on that day
for the purpose of helping to prevent
a breach of the peace, more than once
threatened, had anything to do with
deceiving you, then I plead guilty to
the charge, and am ready to dig up
my thirteen-eighty or help to give the
streets a boost. However, I think
there were other would-be peacemak-
ers present that day who should also
do the like. It may be that some of us
deserved double punishment, and
should be consigned to the “splitting
hair squad." However terrible that
may be, if we are guilty, there is
where we should go to do penance.
Gladly would I have gone that day
with my neighbor to the court house
when he called for me, but I could not
leave home pending the arrival of a
trained nurse for my sick wife. I told
my neighbor to go on and I would
follow in my own conveyance it being
ready. I’did not shun that meeting
and I did not wish the impression to
go out that I was doing so to the ex-
tent that I had to be sent for.
I commend Mr. Bullock for expres-
sions in his last lettercommendatory
to myself and wish to reciprocate the
favor to the full by saying that the
same is, I believe, true of himself.
Far be it from me to wish or desire
to hinder or lessen the good that he
has done, is doing and will, no doubt,
continue to do. Mr. Bullock has been,
and, I am confident will continue to
be one of our most useful citizens,
but notwithstanding this, ne is hu-
man, as I am human, and both are lia-
ble to be mistaken. I have tried to
convince him that he has been in the
wrong, but failed. He has done the
like to me, and failed; so the matter
must rest where it is until one or the
other or both of us, receive further
light.

THE AFTERMATH OF
YESTERDAY’S FIGHT
From Tuesday’s Daily. _
TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON.
Marine Corps Man is Stabbed in Fight
With Negro.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., July 5.—As a re
suit of clashes between negroes and
whites over the championship battle
at Reno, Thomas, Muddle, an enlisted
man in the United States Marine
Corps had his throat cut and is in a
serious condition. Another white man
sustained concussion of the -brain in
a free-for-all fight.
MANY DISTURBANCES.
Fights and Riota Numerous In New
York Yesterday.
By Associated Press.
New York, July 5.—The police are
still keeping an active patrol in the
"black belts” of New York to check
any further outbreaks of race trouble
caused by the Jeffries-Johnson fight.
A score of street fights, negro hunts
through the streets and petty out-
breaks occurred all through the night.
One negro was killed today. His as-
sailant escaped. Several negroes are

SORROW FOR JEFFRIES.
And Admiration for Johnson Is Senti-
ment at Reno. •
By Associated Press.
Reno, Nev., July 5.—The big battle
was the one topic of discussion in the
calm that followed the previous en-
thusiasm here. The big man’s decis-
ive and thorough whipping seems a
personal sorrow to men of the sport-
ing world. There is no animosity
against Johnson, but rather a keen ad-
miration for his ability as a fighter
and beautiful sparlrng, but most of
the men apparently believed that Jef-
fries. who entered the ring yesterday
was the Jeffries of six years ago.
The fight had not gone five rounds
before they began to doubt and lu
the eighth round they felt sure that
they were mistaken.
With Johnson, the one undisputed
world's champion, the next question
is who can wrest it from him. The
lowest estimates of the gate money ia
$230,000, and the highest, 3270,000.
Guesaers place the attendance at from
18,000 to 20,000. It is estimated that
it was the largest crowd that ever saw
a prise fight.
Johnson stated to a newspaper man
after the fight: “Jeffries never could
hit me. He was not able to penetrate
my defense."
Corbett said: “It is simply the old
story of the pitcher and the well—
once too often. It happens to a lot of
us and must happen to Jeffries just
as sure as fate. Jeffries didn’t box
enough.”
Johnson left here at two o'clock this
morning and is due to arrive at Chica-
go Thursday afternoon.

thinks it better to have the matter
censored which is displayed. He de-
clared if the right sort of pictures are
shown he is in favor of permitting
them to be open Sundays as in some
other cities over the state, but assert-
ed that showing the scenes of the
fight would have a bad influence and
engender feeling which is likely to
cause a repetition of the disgraceful
scenes in various places of the United
States as a result of the fight.

Texas News Service Special.
St. Louis, Mo., July 5.—Local sport-

pitch of excitement for awhile this
morning by rumors flying about the
city that Jack Johnson, the world’s
heavyweight champion pugilist, had
died of lockjaw, that Jeffries was
bleeding to death internally, that one
of Jeff’s trainers shot and killed John-

other rumors equally „as silly.
Investigation of these reports by the
Texas News Service correspondent
proved each to be false.
Definite reports were received from
Reno, saying that Johnson is prepar-
ing to depart. Jeffries" manager and
physicians say he will not suffer any
serious results of the punishment re-
helved in the fight and that beyond
the bruises on his face and general
soreness the ex-champion is all right.
