IRSpIFsd the Shooters Courage.
KANSAS Cry, June l8.-The caus
which led to the shooting Of DR., Muntor,
Of the 1imes by W. D, oarliSle is the FOL
lowing;
Until Monday morning the Tines hat
said nothing about the Carlisle orute mat
ter for q fortnight, Its silence caused Car
lisle to do q great deal Of idletalking abou
town to the effect that he had "Shut uI
Munlord." Monday morning, however
the following article appeared in the loca
columns Of the paper under the caption
"Oarlisle Again. I,
"When Mr.. v. ID. Carlisle got back from
his trip 10 California with Miss salHt
Orute, he paid % cents per line to several
papers for q column Of gush that would
have been funny II 1t had not been hypo-
critical. Miss Crute also added q P. 8. to
ltair. Carlisle's Standardization, Miss
Crute's statement was very carefully
worded. She said she had gone to Cali.
fornia with her honorable friend Mr.,
Carlisle as q means Of pleasure and in.
struCtion." This was Just what every one
thought she and Mr., Carlisle had taken
their quiet little trip 10 California for, 30
that the statement was not In the least
discredited,
Mr.. Carlisle evidently thoughtthe Times
would relute his funny appeal TO the peo-
pie, and when 1t kept quiet he got bold.
He has given 1t out recently that the
Times was suing for peace and asking him
TO accept an apology, The fact Of the
matter ia that Just at present the Times is
staying up at nights hoping TO hear that
Mr.. OarlilBe has sued for libel In order 10
completely unmask another thorough
going hypoCrite andshoW the people what
a tine.haired deCeiyer he Is and how he
had hoped to get Mis- Crute's money. II
is hoped that the above apology will be
acceptable to Mr.. Carlilss and those
whom he told that the Times was suing
for peace.
Mr.. Carlisle In his % cents per line efIu.
sion stated that he had never used the
power Of attorney given him by Miss
Urute. While this may be true, it Is q fact
that he did borrow money for her, De.
Cember 81, 1885, he went to O. b. Plat
and borrowed 5000 for Miss Crute. The
loan was made payable In three years,
with thirty acres Of Miss Orute's land as
security. February 10, 1886, another loan
OF $1,000 was secured with all OF the west
hall Of the southwest quarter Of Sec. 20,
Township 40, Range 50, except eight and
a half acres OF the land condemned for
railroad tracks and the thirty acres given
TO secure the first dabt. These transac.
lions are on record In the Recorders Of
dee, where they can be seen at any time.
In order to get this money Miss Orute had
to swear that she was lS years Of sge.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
May % Mrs. Crute, mother OF Mr.. Car.
isles protege, fled notice in the Pro.
bate Court iorbiddlng the sale Of her
daughters property on the ground that
she was not Of age till next October. She
took the family Bible into court and show.
I'd the entry Of her daughters birth to
prove her assertion. She also took
neighbor lady with her who Bwore that
her son and Miss Urute were born within
tmonth of each other, and that her son
was not IS. The proofs were convincing
md Judge Bailey appointed Mr., Wiley y,
Cox as Miss Crute's guardian. Mr.. Cox,
however, naturally did not have time to
oeCome involved with a gentleman OF Mr..
Oarlisle's reputation, and on the plea OF
TOO much business he refused to serve.
Since then Mr.. Carlisle as apparently re.
liable information proves, has been
4ndeavoring 10 secure guardian for bis
ward, and has solicited a mum.
mar OF persons, but without success. II
being conclusiyely proved that Miss Crute
10 not Of age the loans mentioned above
are illegal and not binding ON the con.
raCting parties. The fact that Mr.. Car.
isle is now endeavoring to secure guar.
dian for Miss Orute shows that he knows
that she Ia not Of age and knew 1t when
ue procured the loan for her. An itemized
account Of where that $1,000 went would
be interesting. II Is unfortunate that Mr..
Carlisle will have to wait till next %.
tober to replenish his treasury. His fine
horses may suffer In the meantime.
there Ia losts OF unwritten history about
Mr.. Carlisle's Chicago record, and parts
Of his record in this city that have never
oeen published. Mr.. Carlisle can get them
on demand"
The paper also had the following to say
editorially about the case:
"DApper little Carlisle seems 10 be max.
ing himself quite previous and promiscu-

he says the Times Is down on its knees
begging for the chance to apologize or re.
trtct. On the other hand, the Times can
be found at the junction, and has no re-
traction to make, and never thought OF
making one. The Times takes pleasure in
exposing mountebanks and impostors,
whether they be Of the bench, the bar OF
the pulpit. In performing this public
duty devolving on an outspoken newspa.

cheerfully assumed. A year ago we had
the celebrated Jardine case on hand. This
year the Times has few II any libel cases.
