The Worthington Journal of last
week devoted Il quarter Of il column to
a news item that any other paper would
have condensed to two lines. While
the Marble company were playing
''uncie Toms Cabin'' in that place
they were disturbed by Ivy i man in tile
audience who had Oh board too much
| bcnZne. Marble requested that the
man be put out, and the Journal proud
| ~ remarks: 'SheEiff Town, who was
in the audience, promptly responded,
and being ably assisted by several citi-
Zens, 4 the two offenders were
promptly put out Of the hail. Good
ness! but the Journal spreads it on
thick. No doubt the '4prompt" sheriff
and his ''able7 assistants now really
think they did eject the offenders. It
! transpires, however, that one of tho Of
1n,, f>x,o t<,l r..
who deticd the sheriff and tho ''seyeral
citizens" who had 80 "ably" assisted
him, and instead of being elected quiet
" walked out, after remaining Il SUI
licieDt time to demonstrate that there
was not Il man in the house courageous
enough to tackle him. This is the sto-
| ry told by others present, and eye-wit-
ness OF the affair. Now were either of
the Journal men there, and where did
they ret their version of the r,mpus?
And wasn't the item really written in
order to get drive at the village mar
shal?-St. James Journal.
| The Journal has the story nearly
straight, only that two citizens, Lieut..
Il. d. Plots and A. E. Grissell, laid
hold OF the two men and went waltzing
down stairs with them. There were
three officers in the hail, either one Of
whom, by particle of tact, could have
quietly removed the offenders and thoSe
in the front seats would not have been
disturbed. As we said 1.-THE time, it
was the most foolish exhibition of cx-
element we have seen it a public gath
ering, a regular '*much-a-do about
nothing" a tempest in teapot.
| Worthington is having so manycrin,-
lnals that the county commissioners
have contracted for the building Of Il
Jail to cost So 600. 1t is to he Supplied
with a patent steel cage. Cottonwood
county has as yet had no use for Jail.
We have had several terms Of court but
never grand jury, and from the ap.
pearance of the people generally it is
not likely we shall ever need i,il.-

That's cause you arc not ''hub. ~
| If Your county were great center and
gateway. like ours, through which the
great lido of immigration pours. you
would find the thieves and criminals
following in its wake and committing
crime ilr your midst. Tho cases which,
have cost us good deal Of money and
made a Jail necessary were crimes com.
mitted by outside parties passing tliro
our territory.
