We find i'm the State Register an article
based upon representations of one Roberts,
which does, we believe, great injustice to
one of our citizens, Mr.. Frank O'Neil.-
The facts in brief are that Mr.. Roberts left
fur collar at the Depot one day, and Mr..
O'Neil took care Of It, for the owner when
he should be found. Mr.. Roberts, was
vexed at the loss, got mad, abused Mr..
O'Neils wife, and posted off to Des Moines
add got our friend. of the Register to give
through their extensive circulation, his
version of an affair, entirely innocent on
the part of Mr.. O'Neil. We are requested
to copy the article. We know Mr.. O'Neil
pahle of a dishonest or dishonorable act.
And we may add that nobody here who
know Mr.. O. Neil would believe a word of
1.-THE fact as we believe it is, Mr.. Roberts
was mistaken and our friends Of the Reg
lister have been induced by him to injure
upon these facts being made known to
them. that they will hasten to make the
amend honorable.

that Mr.. McCulloch is determined to secure

indeed, to take just care that the fall is not

oil and salt in Village township, Van Buren,
