The Enterprise Man Will be Invited
to the Base Range.
The Territorial Enterprise, after snatch
ing the case of George J. Reek out of the
hands of Justice in this community, and
taking it to the Comstock for a re-hearing,
is not content with convicting the defend
ant of murder, and publishing him as such
to the world in startling and sensational
language, but goes further in its unac-
countable fury, and seeks to so prejudice
this community against its victim as to
deprive him of the opportunity of earning
living for himself and wife. Shouts the
little monster from its tripod: "a school,
master with his hands dripping with the
blood of a fellow creature teaching the
young Can it be possible that the pa
rents of pupils who sit daily at the feet OF
this red handed pedagogue approve OF the
act which permitted him to return to his
employment % This is an appeal to the
School Trustees of Ruby Hill (north) to
pitch the bette NOR Of the Enterprise head
long out Of the schoolhouse as e pleasing
sensation for the children. Perhaps
the editor of the Enterprise would
like to be appointed School
Trustee, and take a hand in the job him
self. We would not be surprised at his
arrival here at any time within the next
day or so, with that direful purpose in
view. Such an act on his part would be
but the natural impulse Of a stranger who
has usurped the authority of our courts
and declared himself the dictator of the
schools. In the matter of MI. Reek's
being continued in his pedagogic labors
by the Trustees of Ruby Hill (north), the
SENTINEL has no comments to make. they
are presumed to know their own business
best, and any advice from the EUREKA
SENTINEL, or the Territorial Enterprise,
would be in bad taste and impairment.
The question, however, as to whether MIR.
Reek is a murderer, the question upon
which the very existence of the Territorial
enterprise seems to depend, will be an
swered, doubtless, to the entire satisfao-
ton of that autocratic journal. 1t will

Quoted strictly according to the statutes,
IN which it will be able to determine, to
its own complete satisfaction. whether Mr..
Reek is a murderer or not. The case VIII be-
in the nature of a libel suit against the En-
~terprise Publishing Company, for damages
in the sum of S25, 900. The Enterprise
editor criticises the course OF Justice IN
Eureka at u distance of 800 miles away.
He will be given an opportunity for more
intimate association with the blind god
dess Of Eureka. In the District Court at
this place he will be called upon to attend
in person, and then, if everything goes 80
as not to suit him, he can knock the
Courthouse down. or crafty himself in
any other style of gymnastics that may
please him better. Messrs. Baker IL
Wines, who have the ~olesrest case that
could be desired for q libel suit, on behalf
OF Mr., Reek against the Enterprise. have
It under consideration whether or not
they shall institute u criminal suit also
against the editor OF the Enterprise. 1t
Woald bs a pity ii these aantiemen should
not start such "a criminal suit, and cause
