iberia, July 9Th. 1879.

Editor ReuieaO:
The editor of the Wide Awake is
furiously mad at Jason for exposing
him. It was no doubt his intention to
play the same game at Sleepy Eye he
did at Eyota and therefore he boils
over with wrath at lis for putting the
people on their guard against being
fleeced by this shallow fraud. Mr..
Busted is innocent enough to think
that drawed largely on my imagina.
ton when made so many damaging
charges against him. Istated nothing
but facts. He has called us liar in
his last issue and says the good ma
tured gentleman has filed state
ment in his office that would prove us
a liar. We have been favored with a
view of copy of the statement by the
good natured gentleman, and in place
of making a liar of us it confirms our
statement in every particular, except
lie payed six dollars afterwards. The
rising (liar) editor dare not publish it.
He says called on him when he first
came to Loreno and wanted to write
for his paper. He states falshood
there again. He asked me. where I
lived and I told him at Iberia. He then
asked me who wrote for the Review
from Iberia. told him / did, where.
upon he requested me to write for his
paper. told him did not have time,
but the next time I saw him he asked
me again. He says he had no idea
who l was till lately. The fact that,
as l have already stated, I told him
the first time saw him that I wrote
for the Review brands him as 4 liar.
He says it is impossible for me to
write an article for newspaper with.
out lying. Now, Rising, you know
you lied shamefully when you made
that statement. I never wrote a lie
for a newspaper and neither the lying
editor of the Wide Awake nor any one
else can point out one, I might be mis-
informed sometimes. He says / lied
about the number of Wide Awakes
coming to this Office. / saw the POST
mistress last Saturday and she told me
there were only three when she told
me, but there was four now. He says
/ got mad at him because he would not
publish an article / wrote. Now I did
not care whether he published it or not,
as / only wrote for his accommod ation
and not for pay nor cheap notoriety.
He says it would have been an insult to
every business man in Sleepy Eye. I
challange him to publish it and
it will prove him to be q liar.
! brand Mr.. Rising as notorious and
infamous liar and I challenge him or
anybody else to point out one instance
when ] have distorted the truth.
brand him as scurvy, low, degraded
sneak. If he had spark Of honor or
any Of the racteristics Of q gentle
man he would not with fiendish malig-
nifty fabricate and coin willful false
hoods, and ceaslessly traduce an limo
cent woman, who never injured him
nor any one else. Ny better-half is
not responsible for what / write and
no one but 4 degraded BLACKBOARD. will
willfully give offence to an innocent
female. The sensible people Of Loreno
must feel Disguised and ashamed Of
the fraud that runs their newspaper
One Of the leading men of the town
told me that Rising put him IN mind
