EMPokIA TITLEs.-Under several fiaShy
headlines, two weeks ago, our neighbOr OF
the Tribune told what he knew about thelaw
suit brought by Bsrzilia Gray TO obtain title
to the north half OF the Emporia town site.
The article was only noticeable for one fsa-
ture, and that was it's entire ignorance Of the
matter It attempted to explain. The Chase
county Leader gets after the Tribune as fol-
lows: "The EmporSa Tribune, OF last week,
gives an account OF the defect in the titles TO
the north half of the town OF Emporia. A
gentleman who understands the whole ques-
ton says it is like the description that = GER
tain academy OF sciences gave OF the crab, viz:
the crab is a fish, OF red color, and walks
backward! Cuvier, the naturalist, said the
description was correct except this, the crab
is not fish, is not red in color, and does not
walk backwards, otherwise the description ID
perfect So with the Tribune's account OF
Emporia's titles" '--fe

We have found out about &c. V. W." who
wrote the falsehoods to the bloomington Pan
tdJrGph, which we noticed last week. He has
been living below town for some months, and
Is regular sardine. A neIghbOr informs US
that he raised corn this year that will yield
seventy bushels to the acre. He was mad be-
cause he could not buy farm adjoining town
for about $40 an acre. On Wednesday morn
ing he took the cars and went back to Illinois.
We are glad he has gone. We don't want any
men OF his stripe here. A man who will de-
Iiberately tell such falsehoods a. he did in his
letter to the Pantd0rGph, is an injury to any
country he lives in.

As nothing new is produced by q. v. Esk-

ditIOnal amount Of personal abuse, and some
very amusing and flimsy charges, all that is
necessary for me now to say, in vincicatlon OF
myself, is simply to announce that these
charges are baseiv- false, and that in duetime
the necessary proof will be forthcoming TO
