MEssRs HOFER & Sons, in their last
issue of the McGregor Ne,cs, attempt
to justify their action in coming into
our territory to secure job work, and
the arguments they adduce in palliation
are, not to be disrespectful, thin. They
convey the impression that we are rich
and can afford to have our neighbors
depredate upon us. Suppose we were
worth 81 100000, would that fact war
rant any one in justice, taking what
rightfully belonged to us? They also
offer, in apology, that if their Mr. Fris
bic had not been engaged to solicit fol
the Neus, he would have engaged him
self to Palmer, Winall & Co., of Dubu-
que, or some other large printing house
and have come to Independence at any
rate. In that event, the Necs says, the
BULLETIN would not have opened its
mouth in protest. We leave it to any one
acquainted with our files, to say if We
have not always given vigorous warfare
to any piratical craft found cruising in
our waters. The Ne,cs shows poor
code of morals, when it excuses itself
for doing evil, on the ground that if il
didn't, some one else would. But We
do not wish to court controversy over
this subject. We believe that the &C
ton Of the Ne,cs men is contrary to the
principles for which the Bird District
Publishers Association was organized
and further, we do not believe that
there is another member Of the Associa.
ton that will endorse their views on the
subject.

An Undeniable Truth.


You deserve to suffer, and if you lead
miserable, unsatisfactory life in this

you,-your unreasonable prejudice and

reasoning will soon show you that
Green's August Flower will cure you Of
Liver complaint, or Dyspepsia, with all
its miserable effects such as sick head

After the resolutions were adopted,
more speeches were made, each of them
having the same tenor-inciting the peo-
pie to rise in their might, and put their
foot on all such outrages. At the close
Of the meeting, committee waited up
on H. W. Holman, Esq, the attorney
for the driven wells company, at his Of
flee, and demanded that he cease to
act as the company's attorney, threat
ening him with all sorts of dire vengence
should he decide not to comply with
their demand. Mr.. Holman is a man
who is not easily scared, and told the
committee that he could not be driven
to comply with anything, and that he
would use his own counsel in the matter
The committee then left. Mr.. Holman
has since, however, by counsel of
friends, resigned the agency.
The feeling throughout the county
against the well company is at fever
heat, and it is still further infamed by
the warning recently issued by a barbed
wire fence company, to the effect that
all persons hereafter using wire not
manufactured by them would be SINH
larly prosecuted.
In the southern part of the county, as
will be seen from communication in
our columns this week, strong talk is
made of organizing vigilance commit
tees, to first punish the collecting
agents, then the lawyers who assist
them, and last, the editors Of the papers
for publishing the notices Of acarning!
This is serious talk from ordinarily
quiet citizens. We sincerely wish the
thing will be settled to the satisfaction
of all concerned Our sympathies, of
course, all lie with the farmers, and
those who have been using the wells.
On our second page will be found an
interesting article on this subject, writ
ten by some person at Des MONIES, to
lilC SHlCdSO hhCHlilS couIHtt. II 10
claimed that since the recent decision
by Judge Dillon, new evidence has been
discovered that would set aside the first
decision, and cause it to be reversed.
Numerous instances are cited Of per-
sons in all parts of the country using
the drive well, made upon identically
the same principles, as the Green pat
ent, for years before patent was given
to Green. If this fact alone can be
proved, it will throw the patent we'll
swindlers out of employment. The
patent was granted to Green in Jan
uary 1868. Some Of the wells in this
city, upon which royalty is demanded,
were in use prior to that date. The
Supreme Court of the United States
would soon decide for the people, were
a case carried up, but we think there is
no need for this. Without doubt, were
another case taken before Judge Dillon,
with all the newly discovered evidence,
he would unhesitatingly reverse his
former decision.
