The Evening Wisconsin, of Friday
says "The Sentinel has heretofore
alleged that The Republican has been
guilty of f!ching special disp atches
from its new midnight edition. In
order to prove this assertion a trap
was set last night. The Sentinel
wrote up glittering account of the
imaginary capture of portion of the
James brothers gang at Waukesha.
using names familiar to all, of
the hotels, banks and places in
that village. This article, made up
without particle of foundation, was
inserted in ten or twelve papers of the
midnight edition by The Sentinel, and
was then thrown out, and the regular
edition printed with other matters in
its place. The Republican secured
one of these ten papers and made
such use of the bogus account as its
readers noticed in this morning s
edition of that great paper.
The various correspondents in The
Republican Office ''bit'' also and sent
the false account to the Chicago, St.
Paul and several other papers.
The trap was well set, the bait was
eagerly swallowed and The Sentinel
accomplished just what it attempted
to do"
