leaves tomorrow for Oklahoma to rep
resent Secretary Noblein the establish
ment OF the land Office and to assist in
carrying out the law. Bowers, who
came here several years ago as a candi-
date for register TO the Aberdeen land
office, will return there to again take
up his residence.
Blank, of the Washington Springs
HERALD, is quoting the old report of IL
speech by Col. Price, printed In the
Bismarck Tribune last winter, which
we long ago showed to be false, and
calls it an "otlicial synopsis Official
|fiddlestlcks! The Tribune daily dished
|np lively and readable mess, b,ltsit |
was very unreliable. For instance, it |
quoted Representative Ryan Of Aurora
as making a request that some other
member would introduce bill to close
the Reform school at Plankinton.
This report was at first generally !
believed at Plankinton. and the people
were wild with Indignation. Ryan
said no such thing. In fact he was
pleading for the school. and the
change Of a few words made the diff
ference. The same way with Col.
Prices remarks. 1t was misleading.
but we think not Intentionally so.
When blank tries to use this old yarn
to damage Col. Price he is in very low
business Woonsoc ket News.
The above is Kelley's reply to our
published account of Col. M. M. Prices
record in the last legislature.
We are not trying to damage" any
one. We simply gave the facts as we
knew them to be, and now Mr.. Kelley
says We are in every low business"
when we publish the report of the
colonel's speech which he (ketly) "long
ago showed to be false" We would
like to know how he showed the re-
port to be false Was it his bare de-
NAL, in the News, that Price made such
a speech? That proves nothing, unless
| it is that Kelly believes all that Price
tells him, and is endeayoring to make
others believe it. We did not rely
upon the article in the Bismarck Trib-
une for our position bat stated in
our article that there were those who
heard him make the speech on the floor
of the House 1t is preposterous, and
beneath the dignity of true gentle
man, for Mr.. Kelley, who was not with
in three hundred miles of Bismarck at
che time, to deny the speech say the
report was false; and then accuse one
who was there and heard the Col.
make the speech as reported, of being
I in every low business" The speech
| was made by the Colonel as reported
| Price and Kelley to the contrary not
withstanding. We know it for we
heard him make the speech.
EDITOR HERALD:-I am indignant
iy surprised by yonr editorial, in refer
