We have received a note from Rev. G. NJ.
Binks in reply to the statement Of our Dell
Rapids CORES pendent that Mr.. B. had sold
tickets to a lecture and then failed to deliv-

Binks SAYS: "Why l did not lecture Tues
day evening, April 9, was owing to the
storm. l told some of the parties that
bought tickets l should return in the month
Of May, and complete my lecture, or said
parties can have their one by returning
their tickets to me at Sioux Falls"
The Sioux City Journal makes it appear
that Deputy Edmunds and Mr.. Boyles were
arrested at Fort Thompson because they
persisted in attempting to enter the stockade
after they were ordered to stay out, The
truth is: No objection was made to their
entering the s,ockade; Deputy Edmunds
was not told that he must keep out Of the
stockade; he was arrested becahse it wa:
suspected be had civil papers to serve Mr.
Boyles was not arrested at all. The Journa,
also conveys the idea that Hammond mad,
Boyles and Edmunds leave the agency the
next morning, when the fact is they ttait
there two days and came away when they
got ready. We have a heap Of trouble late
ly keeping the Journal i'll the straight anc
narrow path.
