Foreigners beware Of the double black
Republican blood; thirsty, officials Of the
city Of Red Wing, Minnesota. The decision
Of their courts is governed by the politics Of
the suitors, and their laws arc only made
to enable them TO l'arass and injure Demo-
Gratis, and especially Foreigners Of that creed
keep . saloon in tbs city Of Red Wing,
to the laws Of said city at the
time. I paid tho City Marshal the sum Of
seven dollars, and toox receipt from him
for the same, giving INC the right to sell
liquor up to the LIST day Of July. 1855, an'
3 bond which was filed and accepted at
the time. On the 9TH inst. the City
Marshall j., II. Brand, came To- ME ant: said
l was to go over to the Council room to
give another surety to- my bond.4:'>l went
over and found Justice Gaylord and; ESQ
Mcclure. l was asked If I had sold liquor,
on such day .(the 6th>1 said ! believed /
had. The justice then entered judgement
Of ten dollars and costs against me and T
was charged with violation Of the !av.
knew not before that 1 was considered to
have plead guilty, had no opportunity to Oh.
tain counsel, and found myself in the Gala
boose, without knowing how came there.
] found more than that, l was manacied and
chained to tho ground like murderer, al
though had offered no resistance. For
three days and nights was kept in that po-
sition, with food not:tit for dog, and not
enough for mouse, and that although was
S ok and under the Do tors care, and al.
though vas physicked by the i'octor, while
there. no conveniences were furnished me,
and I was obliged the same as brute IT,
turn the calaboose into an "arboreum," and
then not able to move one yard in conse.
luence OF the chains. .,..3 t.,.~ :.
Thus I was kept for three days. till by
the doctors orders the chains were removed
and I was furnished with few conveniencies
and food Of a little better quality. '"'; "
know that the City Counc never intend
ed that their, boarlerx should receive sucl
fare or enjoy such lodgings. ! know that
the Marshal performed his duties in An in.
human and fal1manner and probably
without, their, connivance I therefore call
their attention to i. in this p'lbic manner
and state that am able to substantiate every.

isss. To my fellow; citizens, ! would say
that many other PERSONS are conducting
saloons in Red Wing, in the same name
las l was, or even without any license whatev
Grand that the City Marxha',daily. sees then
selling liquor, knowing this fact, and pays
no attention to il, What is the reason
Simply because, they are Republicans d
have the money and Influence 70 defend
themselves, while am an; Lishman and &
poor man. This is the City, Marshal, ap
pointed by the Council; let US: see If they
are willing 70 sanction his acts. II. se,.
