SOMEWHAT MUDDLED.-In giving
an account of the various editorial
erows" which occurred in Duluth
on Easter Monday, The Chisago
County Post makes the following
mistake in regard to our little con-
fab:
1.-THE next thing was a tilt be-
tween DIR. D'Unger, editor of The
Herald, and Mr. Douglas, me of
the editors of The Superior Times.
A little sparing was done, and the
DIR. was politely informed by Doug
las that he would publish his name
in The Times as often as he saw fit.
All wrong, Brother Robie, all
wrong! The fellow we had tilt
with does sail under the cognomen
of "Doctor," but as for his name
being D'Unger, or his being editor
of The Herald or any other news
paper, is a mistake; he is both too
mean and ignorant, to belong to
the fraternity, if he is the great and
good CDR" S. s. Walbank, OF Du-
luth.

A Card from Supervisor Soderlund.
SUPEkIol., April 9th. 1875.

oUPEklOn, April 9th, 1870
Estitors Tim s.-As your paper
has teemed of late with staten ents
f1ecting upon my character as an
Lonest man and public officer, as
well as upon the character of my
fellow supervisors, beg room for a
few words in my own behalf, in re-
ply to my traducers.
1t was reported in your paper of
last week that | received S2O6. Is
for experimenting in 1870, s1Ol. 90
for experimenting in 1871, $500 for
supplies and s6.25 for snperintend-
ing in 1874. Such statements are
utterly false. During the whole six
years in which | served as Supervi-
sor, | received but $4,000 for super
intending-s4O.OO for the dock in
Uppertown, $40 90 for the bridge
across Bay street, and $500 on
Sixth street in 1868 or g. As to
supplies" never furnished any,
and never received pay for any.
Having now lived here but few
days short of twenty years, and my
record in all that time being before
the people, is it not surprising that
only just before the last election it
was discovered by the "cheeky
usurper" and his attorneys that |
was a fool and a thief? | was nom
mated and elected Supervisor seven
times by the people, not by these
hlgh-toned (?) gentlemen, (beggars
is more appropriately; but as the
people are largely only ignorant
foreigners what does their judg-
ment amount to? Gentlemen, the
game of bluff and deception never
yet won.
But why waste words. The re-
election of myself and the other
members of the Board by large ma
jorities, speaks louder than words.
As | am only poor foreigner, "an
ignorant Swede," and my vilifiers
"sharp business men," good men at
figures, | would therefore like to
see them make an exhibit of how
much they yand their friends received
from the treasury within the past
twenty years. Will they be kind
enough to do so? All, | know you,
gentlemen, very well, and you ought
to know me. If you have any more
bills for $4,000 or $4,000 Just pre-
sent them for payment now!
am always ready to meet you
before the people at the polls, gen.
tlemen, and when | am disabled for
work will shake hands with you in
the poorhouse.

one of the greatest men in the nation,
and who was early shot by Graves in

before me. la the preceding class
was Frank Pierce, with whom |
have had many a tnsseI to see which

Stowe was the wit You could
generally tell where be was by the
roars of laughter. John 2. Hale, in
lower class, was an incessant joker.
His fund of humor was ezhaustlese.
He had ability to make first-class
scholar, but Lis genius led him in
other directions. s S Prentiss, or
little Prentiss' as we always called
him, was a mere boy in college bnt
