W. W. Green who once rattled
around In the position now occupied
by Prosecuting Attorney Burritt,
went to Midland last Saturday on
legal business. Said he to an acquaintance who accosted him:
"They can?t hold Carr in jail a minute—that is, legally they can't, and
we'll show 'em that they can't too.
See if we don't." '"'Why didn't you
bring Canfield along with you?" was
asked of the great jurist, "Oh, we
didn't have any old clothes to send
down this time." responded Green
with a derisive laugh that would
have made Canfield'very angry had
he seen and heard, and were he cap:'
able of comprehending an adverse
opinion of himself. >

It is related of a certain Clare
