TO the Editor of the Globe.
ST.. PAUL, Nov 80, 1871 see an article in
your paper dated Nov. goth, and headed Sequel
to the Orgie, to which, with your kind permis-
sion 1 wish to reply, and will bs as brief as
possible in dong 30. In the first place the
party giving his name as Lowenstein, but bet
ter known rs Lew Nudge land as 1 have since
understood from inquiry from several parties
to be man OF very low character and known as
such about TOWN. was the cause Of the disturb
ance. He commenced in the frst place bv
striking one of the girls, and when he had done
S" the third time demonstrated and aaked him
out of the hack. He came out and
we passed three or four blows between us,
when he put his hand to HIS pocket and drew
something out which I supposed was revoly-
OF. | then drew mine, when he exclaimed, you
are fixed and want to take advantage of me,
then supposed was mist aiken, and that the
man had nothing. l then throw my revolver
down on the ground. We then went together
again, when found that my first suspicions
were right, for the coward had Il billy with
which he struck me twice, ut the same time he
grabbed my neck chain, a very heavy one,
breaking it i. severa! places. Then saw the
mans intentions were bad and had a SLIGHT
idea of his character. 1t i1ashed through nv
mind in an instant, for he had made O remark
In the early part of the evening that he was in
debt to tho amount of $l75, and did not care
how he got even. All this took place IN a Few
seconds, when the report
OF me pistol was heard.
Miss Oleson having picked it Up, and not
knowing it was cooked, it was accidentally dis
charged. 1t cooked or must have as I threw it
DOWN. very natural consequence-as re-
v0lver thrown down in that manner would cock
very easily. Nudge then set up a terrible
howl, and did not know what to make Of it.
That the man was not shot was positive, for
Miss Olesou was some 20 or so feet from US,
ana mad hunted in the snow for the revolver.
asked Annie, Did you fire? She replied no;
the pistol discharged accidentally. Nudge in
the meanwhile had gotten on the drivers box
aud continued to howl. I said to him you are
not shot, what ia the matter with you, are you
scared to dea'h? He then stopped bowling,
put STUCK close to the box, and asked us to get
inside, which Miss Oeson said she would not
do. The hack then drove rapidly away. and
there was no offer made for the hack, Miss
Oleson preferring to walk to town sooner than
roe with man OF that stamp. He had cut
Miss Stella in the hack, which was not aware
OF at the time. He had also shown the billy ct
diamond s, another circumstance l was not
aware or. myself would not quarrel with
any one, and always avoid it if possible At
the same time, l consider myself able to take
care OF and defend myself.
One word more, Mr.. Editor, I have
to say In relation to your
article, and then am done. 1t was stated that
Miss Oleson went into Mysteries, which was not
so; for why should she, as abe knew she had
done nothing wrong: She was as calm and
collected as any woman could be. 1t ia useless
Tor me to say anything further in relation to
this affair, as the character of the man is we'll
known by almost every one in town, and no
person OF any responsibility at all would be
seen in his company. These, Mr.. Edltsr, are
the trne facts IN this case; and as there are al
ways TWO SIDES to story, this is the other side
ana The true one Hoping, sir, 1 have not in
truded too much on yonr space in your paper,
L sign myself your obedient servant,
ROBERT DUNLAP, Fort Smelling.
