are editors and publishers of rival political
county papers, Mr.. Wilson being editor of
the Gazette, the Democratic organ, and
Messrs. Crabb & Parker, publishers of the
Republican. The former is a newcomer,
having lived in the county but little more
than year. In April last Mr.. Wilson
went to Seymour, Ind, on business, leaving
his office in charge of his employees for
week or more, and during his absence the
Republican published the article which
forms the basis for the present action. 1t
charged that the absent editor had abscond-

that all was not right. Wilson returned,
retaliated in kind, and is now threatened
with a counter suit.
