Scores Prosecutor Mills.

Newton County Enterprise: The last issue of the Brook Reporter contained an interesting statement regarding the failure of Prosecuting Attorney Mills to prosecute a number of liquor law violations in that place. As Mr. Mills either could not or would not prosecute, the people of Brook sent for Deputy Prosecutor Kassabaum, and as he had not been “mesmerized,” lie proceeded to vigorously prosecute and convict eiyht violators of the law. and was preparing to carry on the work, when ho received from Mr. Mills on Tuesday morning a curt letter of dismissal. No cause was assigned for removal, and so far as that is concerned, none need be given. Mr. Kassabaum was so indiscreet as to jump in and push the law r after his chief had passed up the cases, and his official head pays the penalty for his temerity. There will be a new prosecutor after twe coming election in November.
