THE LYING TRADUCEE 6ORIeALLED.

He may be found on Pixies old farm, on
the road leading from Corvallis to Yaqui-
ma Bay. These are the facts:
There has been number Of letters writ
ten traducing our characters. These let
ters all refer to L. Fl. Barnllart for future
evidence to substantiate their slauderous
statements. Bhrnlnirt took these letters
from the postoflice to Mr.. Kinds, where it
was designed to iujurc us most. The wri-
ter of these letters shows familiarity with
Barnhart. They know Barnhart's, and
learned from them Kinds name; learned
from them that they had Kinds daughter in
thei remploy, md find that they think a
great deal of her, and they direct their
most malicious letters to Barahart for him
to give to Kinds. He tBarnllart) receives,
opens and reads the letters, and then car
ries them to Kinds, knowing they refer to
himself for further eyidenc, and by inuen-
does tries to confirm the malicious ISLANDERS
and lies contained in those letters, yet all
the time claiming to be our friend We
get these letters Into Our possession. and
write to Mr.. Barnilart, asking him why,
As friend, he did not let It's know of their
existence, and why he did not contradict
the base falsehoods himself. Citing his
conduct i'll the matter, we frankly told him
that the suspicion of The authorship of the
letters rested OH himself and Fred, and we
demanded the nime OF the author. At
this Barnllart flew iuIo passion and called
upon the graveyard for witness of his
innocence. Earithart claimed to believe
the writer of the letters WIS q woman.
We give it as onr honest opinion that that
- woman : is now counter-hopper in r.

are perfectly satisfied that B:iruh;tf't liin-

middle OF November. 1-71. and we do not
hesitate to say that we can bring forward
more than Il dozen of the most respectable
citizens OF Linn county who will swear
that they do not believe Earilslart even

give anything decent to the public that
will justify his conduct in this matter, we
shall be glad to see him do so; but if he or
any his friends comes out with any sour

enough of Barnhut's contradictory letters
of May aud June last to prove to the pub

always hold the 'B,rniiart's guilty of writ

them unworthy of the respect or confidence

hold possession of their letters which will
convince all except, the guilty ones, and
any one desiring can see them.
