4 Continued Source Of Systematic
Falsehood About the Concern,

Grant place Is a quiet and unprelending by-
way situated In tho polar regions Of tho North

remain mostly indoors. Hence 1t Is, doubtless,
that 20 little has been known lately Of tic opcr-
sttons of the Good sarnatltan Home, an instltu-
tio0 which fs q distinguishing trait Of Grant
place. The revelations In The TRIBUNE ycs-

causcd q great duttering among the inhabitants
thereof.

became even more dfsdafnful. Chill blasts came
akurryIug from the lake, blown from the dis
tended checks OF the someWhat-my yth.cal fellow

About that time, when dusk was settling orcr
the city and making great black spaces between
the afckeriug- etsect-lamps, solitary figure
| plunged through the snoxlrfts Of Grant place,
| carcened pcrilously a1ong the uneven sidewalks,

steps leading into the Good Samaritan uomc

The question of Whether Constable
Peter Josiah HeveEling would have sunk
or not when he fell from Johnson's mill
dam few days ago" has caused con
siderable discussion among the cltizeLs of
Milan, and THE ARGUS has published the
opinions of several of her citizens, all claim
ing that Peter" would not sink. Peter
thinks that he has an enemy in Milan, and
that his name is Alvin Green, Peter
thinks that Alvin, not having the fear of a
constable before him, wrote the articles
and had them published in order to ruin
Peters character. And so we learn from
a citizen, that Peter bounced Alvin and
threatened libel suit, and then il is said,
Alvin appologized to Peter for what he
had never done by bouncing" the worthy
constable out into the street. with the re-
mark, to use the words of our efficient
county clerk. IF you don't let me alone
I'll put YOU out of this ere office quick er en-
