Cook Replies to BrittOn.

Fort BERTHoLD, Sept. 9, 1890.
To H TRIBUNE: There appears an ar
ticle i n your daily of September s headed,
"Rumpus at Berthold." 1t winds up by
| saying "these are the facts presented by
j. E. Britton." The only rumpus that has
been kicked up at Berthold for a long time
is the one that j. E. Britton kicked up here
last spring. Last winter Britton came
here as clerk. He soon after concluded
that President Harrison had made a mis-
take and appointed the wrong man for
agent; that he ought to be the man. So
he went to work and made an expose
which fell fiat, resulting in Britton's dis
missal. He left the service here in dis
grace, failing to maintain himself in a posi-
ton to which he was mistakenly ap-
pointed. He now seeks to place in dis
repute all of the government employees con-
nected with the agency. The authority
given for the article is enough to COM
pletely damn it in the eyes of all who are
acquainted with its instigator.
j. T. Britton, who was burned in effigy
in his own town for his contemplate acts;
u . W D1lUVO4ls Ilo C4U oUCClC3 M D.s Uc-
tween two days; J. E. Britton, whose chief
religion is ingratitude; J. E. Britton, who
| will lie when the truth would serve him
better; j.. E. Britton, whose character in
his own town OF Washburn is such that
not one man can be found who has the
hardihood to blindly s%ubstantiate any
statement he may make. He charges that
John R. Cook purloined liquor from the
~diSpensary. l will simply say to this lying
statement that | never purlOined anything
except what l took from Britton's rebel
government during the war. John X.
Cook was never crazy drunk. John r.
Cook never struck Maggie with a spade, nor
anyone else. There are no two men in a
critical condition in this vicinity, nor has
at home attending to their work.
AS to the affair which Britton so grossly
misrepresented, it had no connection with
the agency or my duties as farmer. It
arose out of differences between others and
my presence at an ~inOppOrtune time
resulted in an unpleasant incident which
this evil-disposed j. E. Britton has warped
to suit his own malicious ends. In con-
clusion I wish to say that l am perfectly
willing to submit my record to those who
know me and that Britton dare not do.
While l do not fear the ISLANDERS of such an
irresponsible character, yet at the same
time l object to being made the object of
his we'll known exaggerations.
Respectfully,
JOHN r. Cook,
Agency Farmer.
I have read the article in the TRIBUNE
purportlng to have come from j. E. Brit
ton and wish to say that the charges there
in are false and unjust. JOHN NAGEL.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: 1t was at a recent
council meeting. The writer was there
with his photograph. The eloquent alder
man from the Third ward got the floor to
speak on a question Of privilege. He
sports a handsome moustache. The phon-
ograph transmits the following:
"Mr. Mayor and fellow colleagues, l de-
sire to make a few remarks. My object in
so doing is to refute the assertions made
recently in the press. Some roaming
maverick" undertakes to make it appear
that our sidewalks are bristling over with
nails. In the first place he fails to set
forth in what state or other political d.
vision the alleged walks are located. He
mighthave had our n%eighboring city ofMau-
dan in view. [Hear, hear!] Again our street
commissioned informs me that no nails are
is already Spiked Why, a stranger
reading our morning paper may perhaps
get the notion that our public walks were
upholstered with nails, when such is not
the case. Why, gentlemen, | have Stun
bled onto nails on my way home late at
night. [Applause.] They were protruding
above the sidewalk. On close investiga-
ton | found they were attached to a pair of
feet: The chances are that the party who
wrote the article above alluded to may
have some relationship with those de-
testable nails Again he makes the un-
warranted and uncalled for insinuation
that the ladies Of said city sweep the
sidewalks with their dresses, when such is
not the case"
An alarm of fire was turned in and a
hasty adjournment was the outcome.
