What the Shreveport Times of the 9th
instant has to say Of one Of our citizens
who Is candidate for mayor. "The cleo,
ton for mayor Of Dallas. Texas, comes of
on the first Monday Of next month. There
are several candidates tor this position, and
among them Colonel Wylie, formerly of
this city. Nothing we could say would be
likely to have any influence upon the result
of the election, but we nevertheless
venture to suggest, without any disparage-
ment of the other gentlemen who are can
didates for the office, that the young city of
Dallas conld not select mayor more in &C
cordance with her progressive spirit than
Colonel Wylie. He is thoroughly live"
man--enterprising. intelligent and liberal.
In addition TO these qualities of the head
there is no kinder-hearted man alive, and
his many friends in Shreveport would be
gratiiied to learn that his merits are appre-

Gle asserting that the professor
committed adultery with female
patient from Tilsonburg, Ontario who went
to Ann Arbor for medical treatment and
was placed in his care. The article went
quite into detail about the matter
and alleged several repetitions of
the crime. The defense plead justification
and propose to prove facts; also plead the
article a privileged one, since plaintiff occu-

allegations of criminality published in
Canada, remaining unnohced, justified ex-

They propose to introduce letters addressed
to the woman in the case in an assumed
name, which she took from the post.oilice,

testify is Professor MacLeaus, the
