A Fake Letter.

Dispatches from Redwood Falls and
/ Luverne put the case of Clifton Holden,
convicted of murder, in new and in
teresting light. Clifton has brother
living at Luverne This brother is a
photographer and has spent every dol
4 lar of his earnings in an endeaver to
). clear the convicted man, whom he
stoutly believes to be innocent. Thus
| far his efforts have proven fruitless.
Holden has been denied new trial by
both the District and Supreme courts
and his case has as yet been hopeless
one. But now a new clue has sprung
suddenly into light and the Luverne
brother thinks he has evidence enough
] to convince the world that lis relative
is free from guilt. This evidence con-
/ sists only in letter, addressed to Mrs.
Dodge, of Fairfax, and dated Olivia,
Renville County, about twenty miles
from Redwood. The letter is signed
..Allias Coon, and we give itin full for
what it is worth. Holden is now at
Redwood Fails, looking INTO the matter
and preparing to take action. Here is
tho letter.
