=. looked as if il had

the IN .. locked as if it had

judging from The head letter; the complain
ant i editor. manager and Publisher Of
these Two papers. as unders'a.s. il said.
did you not hire me- ..r 81 this paper
and be M n n.asS lag interrupted
| prohah ~ hs made a gruLt: then
ne gol up and look some of the reprint
copy over Il LaFs case and gave it TO Lal,
and then he sat down again and went TO
locking over that which be had there, and
went up 10 him and asked him what he had
there, If il was cid, stale matter; he did Dot
| say any thing for minute or two; be said,
! !. do you mean to tell me that don't know
what | AN doing?' and / told him no I
told him that with my experience that it did
not do TO Put old matter in the paper. as it
would probably be in plates or on
patent sheets and that il would
he better 10 get the freshest clip
pings for the inside aud that
thoughi-rigbt in here he said something
that he guessed he knew what be was about
or something like that-aGd that | thought
that he should let me read over the matter
before il was set. and he said he was run
ming that business, and called me quite a
number of names, among which fraud, a
liar, and said that had more cheek than
any body he ever saw, and again that | was
nothing bnt fraud aud that / had better
quit; | told him that it bad gone so far now,
and one paper was out and circulars had
been sent advertising the paper with my
name on 10 all the papers in this state and
to all the papers in quite a number of the
adjoining states and that it would be better
that we try to get along some way he said
he did not want anything more to do with
me and called me some of the same names
he did before-a fraud, and you are all made
up of cheek--you are nothing but cheek
then | said that we had better fix it up some
way and he said he did not want to do any
fixing at all about it that he had done all
the fixing he was going to, and if | did not
keep still he would pitch me down stairs;
in that conversation before he said he would
pitch me down stairs he did not tell
me to go out; said, now Mr.. K, let's try
and fix this thing up some way; / said it
has gone so far now that it would be better
that we fix it up as it would be better for
both of us something like that; then he
said some more about telling me to stop at
home yesterday and get copy ready ! told
him that if had more time would be will
ing to work little cheaper he said, g /
don't want cheap work ! want you to do
just as | say" then he said some more
about telling him that he did not know what
he was about; and told him that did not
tell him any such thing as that, and he said,
z Oh, you can't gull me - / told him I did
not want TO gull him. but I wanted to
straighten the matter up before l left he |
said, it is not safe for you to stop around
here - he said, "there is no telling what |
might do and I told him that was not |
afraid of him, but that / wanted to straight |
en- it up he said it was dangerous for me |
TO stop there then walked over towards |
him and told him that probably should not |
have spoken in the way l did in regard to
that matter, ana he said g | should say you |
should not = then he talked little more,
and he quieled down little, and said that l |
could stop until Saturday night; just before |
that think | said something about staying |
until Saturday night and I thought we
could make some arrangements whereby we
would both be better suited then he told |
me that if any one had to wait for copy that |
should not get cent Saturday night; no.
body had 70 wait for copy told him that
no one would have to wait for copy, as | was |
not new at that business; had gotten up |
copy for weekly papers of this character,
and that | would see that there would be no
waiting for copy then we stopped talking,
and then I went to the case and began work,
and in little while he went away and said
that he was going to Chicago; this was on
Friday that was the last saw of him that
day.
