PINE CITY, Sept. II, 1875.
Anti Monopolist:
DEAR S1R:-Once the time was that had
an organ of my own to defend myself from
tn. assaults OF such animals as olfacterate
the Office of the Chsiago County Post; but
seeing l am temporarily deprived OF my
| proper weapon of defence, allow me to state
| briefly, my ide Of the question.
1st, owe no man for my Office, Or on my
Office.
I'd, The first day of July the sheriff levied
an execution, whole sum S2225 on bogus
Judgment, or 900 worth OF property, to
satisfy it, although | informed the sheriff
that it was exempt from such levy, and for
bid him making it.
Sd. On the Sd day of July another jndg
melt was rendered against me, for $3.50,
and transcript taken from said judgment
and fled with the Clerk of the District
Court, " no issued out OF said District Court
that same Sd day OF July, an execution and it
was lev ed on top OF the previous execu-
ton.
| of course appealed from the judgment,
which appeal was allowed. The justice,
either the fool or knave OF these men who
were trying 20 break up my business, issued,
as his docket shows, an execution alter said
appeal, contrary to law, an4 this execution
the sheriff and clerk of court solicited, and
the sheriff returned unsatisfd, no goods
being found ON which to levy in his said
county, which was filed by that uttterer OF
fraudulent naturalization papers, Don. L..
Willard, Clerk OF Court, Treasurer and
, Deputy-sheritf, &C., of Pine county, and
who issued another execution out OF the
district court, Notwithstanding an appeal
had been taken in the case, and all these
illegal acts were. by the advice Of Morris
Lambrey and W. H. Grant, St. Paul, law
yers, who enlisted to do their dirty work,
Grant being kept here to watch and fight
: me, and Lam: at the other end OF the
line to sec what excuse he can have for
sitting the liberty of the press.
On the Goth day Of July | applied to
Judge Crosby for relief, under sections lie
: and Ill, page l2S, Of the general statutes,
and the Judge issued an order to the sheriff
/, to appear on July 10Th and show cause why
e said property should not be released.
t The judge held these papers till the 10th
q Of August, and hen issued an order vacatine
II his order to show cause, and this OF course
LETT the thing where it commenced.
His failure to act was construed by the
|, ring As deciding that my office was, first, no
u exempt; second, that any hind OF process:
< the sheriff may hold, protects him in practic
{ ing all manner of fraud, deceit and oppres
: sion on those debtors against whom he hold
n process. Third, that the liberty Of the pres
is a small matter, about which so exalted
person as district judge need concern him
e self, provided the officer has an execution
II regular on its face. Fourth, that the judg
II has no power over the officers of his cour,
IS even though the matter is brought beior
: him by affidavit Fifth, that these ring mel
- being republicans, the judge being a repub
lean, and | being only renegade republi
can democrat granger-anti- monopolist ha
no rights as newspaper man that the regu
lar Bill Kings, ct al, of this county, wer
bound to respect, and hence they go on an
T. SELL
Accordingly on the Goth day of Angus
n before ever the judges decision reache
II here they had posted notices to sell M
l. office on the 30th of August, then went :
VI the aforementioned fool or knave of in.
tiue, got him to issue an execution on a SAT
- lsted Judgment, and readvertised to sell o
- The district court execution, issued on an al
d. pealed suit and Their Brawley, auditor, Glen
j. OF the county board. coroner, court cou
missioner, squaw-doctor, &c, purchased
tn note against Inc, and swore out a writ of .
he tachment which was piled on top of ii
50 aforementioned executions.
!, would state that these sales had bee
~ postponed from the Soth of August to Il
"a eighth OF September, and then til the Sil

keep me out OF my office so that | cam

y. my stuff was stored, packed it up, and too
