A POOR PUZZLER.

Now what puzzles the editor of the
Sun is this: If there was no report of a
defalcation in the Buffalo land office, how
does it come that there was a letter here
from the receiver denying the report.
Furthermore, the denial specifies the
same sum $4,000, as the amount alleged
to be lacking. We think The LEADER
has established the correctness of the
Suns statement Yesterdays Sun.
1t WAS not asserted in TIE LEADER
that there was no report of a defalca.
ton by Judge Orr. hence the editor of the
Sun is puzzling his brains without pro
vocation. The fact that the Sheridan
Post alluded to the matter in its issue OF
over two weeks ago is sufficient explana
ton OF the reason why Judge Orr wrote
to some of his friends here to apprise
them that an attempt was being
made, for political reasons, to de.ame his
character. The painful rumor" came
here some time ago direct from Washing
ton to several Republican officials and
was at once made known to the Sun, but
that sheet refrained for prudential reasons
from any public mention of the matter
until it could make the Sheridan Post its
cats paw.
The Sun is now incautiously led into
fathering the statement on its own respon-
sibility. 1t endeavors to create the i'm
preston that Judge Orr's own statement
proves the truth of the charges that he
is short in his accounts. The letter from
Assistant Commissioner Stone regarding
his accounts is dated at Washington Jan.

All his advice to every one was good.
He even told the clergy man who went
with him to the scaffold that he must
not be weary in well doing, but strive on

his reward.
He was dressed in his best suit of
clothes.
AS he went to the scaffold, he carried
a bouquet of choice orchids, given him
by the Young Ladies' Band of Crime
PreventeIs.
When asked if he had anything to say
before his death he smiled sweetly, laid
his chew of tobacco on the cross piece of
the scaffold and said: Ladies and gen

from this out to lead a blameless life. |
