NOT ON TIE BILLS.

A Register Man Assaulted Yesterday at
the Fair Grounds by one OF the Drec-
tors.
On Tuesday morning last the REGIS
TER contained the following:
1t was runored last night that Squire
Ankle had issued warrant for George
R Jingle, who is charged by NJ. L..
Wright with interfering with him in the
discharge of his duty. Wright was a
special policeman at the Fair Grounds,
and in attempting to make the arrest he
alleges that Mr.. Jingle interfered.
This information was given to the
pubic on apparently the most substan-
tial information, but as will be seen it
was technically incorrect, from the sub
joined and published Wednesday mora
ing.
A CORRECTION.
Eiitors Register:
Please say that there is no truth in
the rumor that warrant was sworn
out before me by NJ. l.. Wright for the
arrest OF Mr.. George K Tingle.
RALPH AIKLE, J p.
Nothing more was said about the
affair until yesterday afternoon, when
Mr.. G. 5. Howell, OF this paper, hap.
pened to pass through the Main Build.
ing in the fair grounds he encountered
Mr.. Jingle, when the following CONVEX
sation ensued:
Tingle-"Well, you see from Mr..
Ankles card how you misrepresented
me-"
"Weli, sir, | corrected it."
Tiuglc-"You didn't do anything OF
the kind. Ralph Arkle did it."
"But, Mr.. Tingle, that card passed
through my hands, and could havs
suppressed it if had cared to do So"
Tingle-"TEe whole thing is here
Howell, you have to do, the bidding OF
that dirty.dog you work for. you have
TO write just what he tells you to-"
"Mr. Jingle, Mr.. Baker has never a
any time indicated to me any line OF
conduct toward you or any other man,
and he had nothing Whatever to do
with the squib in question
Tingle-"But | tell you, your bread
and butter depends on him and you
have to write as he tells you, and what
ever thing malignant and mean you can
write You do. But remember these
things and will appreciate Them"
"Mr. Tingle," Mr.. Howell again re-
monstrated, "there is not a word Of truth
in what you say, and repeat that Mr..
Baker has never mentioned your name
to me-"
Mr.. Jingle turned around in threat
eniug manner and repeated more EN-.
phatically his two former assertions and
again Mr.. Howell characterized them as
untrue. when the former made threat
ening demonstration and the latter
closed in with him. when
ground scuffis ensue'. which
however, WAS barren OF results
with the exception Of two very dusty
coats. Mr.. Tingle directly upon regal
ing his feet made another attempt TO
get at Mr.. Howell, hut was easily With.
held by Officer Thompson. Where
hpon he said "Put that dirty dog out
the building, he shall not stay in here"
Mr.. Tingle's very moderate and we might
say, modest direction was not executed,
as the other gentlemen objected in the
first place to be assaulted by director
Va bhC auu kbO oCNNhN ptdOC W uc-
ing elected from the grounds because
Mr.. Jingle had failed in his very laud-
able and manly undertaking.
In regard to the matter OF Mr..
Wright, that gentleman did attempt to |
swear out warrant for Jingle because
ia the exercise OF his duties as q police
man Tingle had interfered with him,
but for some reason or other the war. |
rant did not issue. A warrant |
was issued by Squire Arkle
for Mr.. Tingle on oath of
Peter Wendell. Jr., who charged him
with using abusive language toward
lim on the fair grounds, but it has not
yet been served. 1t is a matter of re,
yret that the fair lost its identity in:Mr.
Jingle, as otherwise it was an enter.
Prise of considerable merit, and the
REGISTER has taken great pleasure in
living it all the encouragement posi-
BE.
