louse." The argument was irresistible, and
The matter dropped. So much for the state
ment made by Warner in regard to the bust
aess transaction.
After Warner commenced the publication Of
his paper we studiously refraincd from any al
lusen to him or it We were content to abide
our time. This did not please Warner, and he
sought every opportunity to covertly attack us.
Personally we have avoided intercourse with
him, believing that he had acted direputsbly
and dishenoraby by US. During our absence
last spring he made an attack upon the paper
which called for rebuke aud we administered
it. We have put up with his inuendos and
vile slings until ferbearance ceased to DO a vir-
tue. Warner charges us with the "wholesals
slaughter of truth and vcracity." We chal-
lenge him to point out single statement wo
have made in regard to him that is net strictly
in accordance with the truth. Let us see:
Warner some years ago was married and
Child was born; later he was divorced, aud the
custody of the child given to the mother, War
ner attempted, or did, kldnap the child and
was arrested; hs then skipped tho town during
the night. He next turned up at Minneapolis,
where according to his own story, lie rsmar-
RED the same woman; he next claims that she
was guilty Of adultery; he then came to Hope,
and while claiming to live ON homestead he
applied for divorce in Minneapolis court;
by falsely Withholding the facts of the case he
succeeded in having bill granted; he then re-
married in Hope. These are substantially the
facts OF the case, the circumstances may be in
some degree imporfectly stated, but substan-
TALLY the facts are correct. They have been
common talk in Hope for long time. We
are at present trying to get copies Of articles
published in the Fort Wayne papers at the
time to verify this. Does Warner deny them?
They are Of his own making, and it is not our
fault if he is ashamed of his past conduct. We
sought IS long 40 possible to avoid controversy
or intercourse with him, but he has forced it
upon us and hc must take the consequence
Whatever the legal aspect Of the case, morally
hc is guilty Of criuo that the law Furnishes
by incarceration in the penitentiary. He is a
moral leper. And yet lie has tho tsmerity 10
talk of morality. There arc other things In
regard to him which decency does not permit
to be mentioned.
We take no pleasure in alludipg TO these
matters. We have always tried to abstain
from making our columns the vehicle for vent.
ing personal grievances, but we have learned
that the quickest way TO cure some things is ia
cautsrize deeply. We acted fairly and honor
ably by Warner, and he repaid us with deceit
and treachery; we let him and his paper &C.
vcrcly alone and lie took every opportunity to
attack u.s. This much by way Of apology to our
readers for taking up space which might be
put to better use.
