papers Just read.
Mr.. Elvans said he appeared here last Mon
day night a the accuser of the nominee for
School Trustee from the Third District No
one could say the gentleman had not had an
ample opportunity 10 defend himself.
The gentleman had sheltered himself behind
a perfect frame work of Il don't remember -
He had shielded himself i'm every case behind
these words. In the case of the charge about
the medal, IL il claimed that a mistake was
made; that the gold medal was not taken from
the neck of the little girl thai by some arrange
ment-that is the only word-the medal was
gwen to Mellis instead of Lizzie Stromberger
and the whole blame OF the mistake is laid on a
subordinate of the Board of Trustees. Ii il now
claimed that Mr.. Clark did not know the medal
received by Lizzie Stromberger from her teacher
was a silver medal, but he himself virtually
admits that he did know it. He must have
known il.
Mr Noyes asked il the gentleman lid not saw
last Monday that the gold medal, inscribed " ith
the name OF the little girl, was ruthlessly torn
from her neck. :
Mr. Elvans said IL IL was understood thar he
asserted there was violence used, il was mis-.

the neck of the little girl.
