All this while he claimed he wanted
no office, but was only a reformer. But
he helped to create the district and then
run for the Office, though some claimed
he was not eligible for the bench. Did
he honestly submit his case to the SUI

let me tell you
STORY OF FACT.
The council decided to lay sidewalk
in front Of lot owned by him. He was
treated as other citizens are, no worse, no
better. He tore it up, and his followers
applauded. Arrested and brought before
young justice, Eugene b. Crane, his
manner was so offensive that Mr.. Crane
righttully
FINED HIM FOR CONTEMPT.
This high'minded judge said 1t would
be the "dearest five dollar fine" he ever
imposed, And it has been. How did he
revenge himself? He hish-mindedly
sues Mr.. Crane at Pleasant Valley, and
doesn't appear. He nobly sues him at
Racine, and no appearance. And then at
LIE Roy he sues him in a noble-mindeG
manner, and there, by some means, got
judgment for SIS. And if any christian
man can tell how he did it without PER
JURY, I will give him S. on the spot!
And yet he and his followers pray, and
are precious good christians!

derby; but he wanted to send the lockers
on home, and be himself promenader.
So he went to organizing posse, and
ordered Mr.. Beiseker to assist. Beiseker
refused. "Beiseker, come here " II
shan't." "Bieseker, command you to
come here" II won't" "Sheriff Baird,

but a warrant was issued and Beiseker
and others were taken before his Honor,
and put to great expense in defending
themselves. Judge Page called it riot.
I was the attorney for the defense, and as
charge Of riot requires many witnesses
for defense, many were subpoenaed to
answer to this trumped-up charge, and
then Page "howled the fees for subpoena

But, 10! in the late impeachment trial,
our noble-mlnded judge carries greater
number, and at greater expense, clear to
St. Paul, to prove that it was a riot, but
says nothing about a steal On tie state.
But when we did the same thing we had
''combined to rob the county," Some
one is always "conspiring" against him.
But now he has been "vindicated." Yes,
26 of them voted him guilty, but he says
every man Of brains voted him not guilty.
We hoped he would bury the hatcher, but
he was vindicated, and instead of quiet

feeling. If he would be still all would
meet him in kindly spirit, but no sooner
