1t may seem strange to many of our
readers Why We apply the epithets in
the foregoing paragraph, but it is east.
~ explained as follows:
"The Man of Mystery" whose name
We learn is G. f. w. Lawton, acted in
very bad way whilst in our Town,
which is the sole and only reason WHY
we publish him in the manner above,
and for the reason and purpose ofpro-
tecting those in other communities who
read onr comments, and who, perhaps,
might be gnlled or treated as we and
one or two others here have been.-
We admit Ills "getting away" with us
in the printing line to the tune of $40
lit will not break us, but then we do
not care to lose i.,)-as will the hotel
keeper here, whom he fleeced for $50,
and one or two private individuals, of
whom lie borrowed money. And

the railroad track in an easterly direc-

Baton Rouge, we are told, where he
would play this week. His wife
seemed to be surprised when informed
of this fact, and said i'll stern manner
that she did not believe it The lady
left the following morning, and was
given money here to purchase ticket
to Baton Rouge. She gave it ont that
Lawton had gotten all of her money
while here, a good amount, too, and
what he had done with it she did not
know. She said that this was not the
first time he had acted in this way.
She says she owns property in St.
Louis; furthermore that she wonld
send back money here to pay those
who had advanced her means to get
away. We will not say anything
against the lady; she may or may not
