He Won't lie Iilnffed

ED. linden: In writing a brief his
tory of the Tyler Chandler contest case
last week, for what we thought Sufli-
cient reasons. We chose not to have our
name appear to the article, but things
bave transpired that lead us TO the con-
clusion that to save the life. possibly,
OF some other person, we had better re-
veal ourselves, and we prefer to use the
same medium that we used in the his
tory Of the case. Our reason for taking
this step we Will give in very few
words.
About the time The claim jumper was
committed to jail, John L. Kersey, the
eldest son of Mrs. Chandler, sharpened
his pocket knife, and threatened to
take the life OF James Davidson, his
tather-in law, because he was taking
sides With Tyler; but Davidson kept out
OF his way Till he cooled off, and doubt
less prevented d crime being committed.
Then, on last Friday evening, after
County Attorney Cameron arrived at
HaZeltOn, we were sitting in front of
HerrIngJOn' store. when this same
John L. kerSey approached us, with "a
copy OF the INDEX III his left hand, and
an open knife III his right hand, blood
IN his eye, and, doubtless, murder in
his heart, and demanded TO know the
author OF the article headed "A Queer
Proceeding" We took in the sllua
ton at a glance, and referred him to the
editor. The above ought to be proof
that the Chandler outfit think they
have friend in Cameron, whether It
is true or not. Can any reasonable
man believe that ii Cameron had been
earnestly prosecuting the guilty party.
they would be carrying on as John L.
kersey has, especially at the very time,
and almost under Cameron's nose. 1t
is bad enough for them to believe that
he will help them rob Tyler; but when
that belief leads them to think they can
even take life and he safe, think it is
time for the people to step i'll and saw
by their ballots that they will try to
have prosecuting attorney that can
punish crime in his presence at least.
Now Mr.. Editor. ! am writinn This
free from any party feelings. for as /
understand it, both the candidates for
county attorney have been trained and
nOurIShed In republican doctrine. and |
am still. as you we'll know. advocating
democratic doctrine; and for the bene-
fit of those that feel that they have
Cameron on their side. and that thew
can commit crimes with IMMUNITY
while he is in office, we Will say that by
reading this article. you can doubtless
learn who wrote the other. and thereby
avoid any further inquiry.

a peculiar case with a peculiar de-
Tense came before the court at Column
bus, Kansas. James Wilson was ar
rested for breaking into a saloon and
stealing liquor. The act was not de-

that as the selling or keeping of liquor
was contrary to law, the act of taking
it was no crime. The jury returned a
verdict in favor of the defendant. lie
