THE reported declaration of Mr.. Fassett,

Two Remarkable CoIpcldences.

This world very often seems to be a
small affair. Everybody who has travelled
much has unexpectedly met unexpected
people in the most faraway and unexpected
places. Mr.. P. E. Studebaker, the great
wagon manufacturer of Indiana, was telling
me the other evening at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel of a singular experience of his in this
line. 81 was going down to London" said
he, "on business errand and was there to
meet certain gentleman by appointment.
1t was on Saturday afternoon ana 1 con-
cluded to stop over at pretty little histori-
cal village to spend Sunday. The next morn
ing had my breakfast i'll the coffee room
and while was sitting there over my cigar
in walks the very gentleman l was TO meet
the following day i'll London. He did not
know that l was in England, and l did not
know anything as to his whereabouts save
by appointment made in the United States.
had had our buSieess matter in my mind
during the entire trip. and it seemed rather
singular to say the least of 1t, that not only
our respective minds were running in the
same channel at the same time but that we
should have thus anticipated our appoint
ment."
Since that time was talking with Wash
ington acquaintance in front of the Hoffman
House when another gentleman came along
-one whom had known about the same
length OF time and who l suddenly remenl-
Dered came from the same section where
once lived the man at my side. 1 therefore
introduced him. Within five minutes the
conversation drifted into business channels.

IT is NO BLUFF,
Hon. Henry BRADSHAW Makes N. C. Nssh
an 0ter-And it Takes Money to

On Certain Conditions He viii Deposit S7O(
and Nash is to do Like Wse-Then
We WiN see lUho is Right.

MAPLE GROVE, May 25.-ED1roR
FARMERS LEADER: Dear Sir-Please to
allow me space in your paper to reply to
the articles published in the News relat-
ing to the FARMERS LEADER PUBLISHING
COMPANY and myself, and first let me say
that the editor Of the News can crawl
through very small hole in the way of
evading test as to whether he has in
many ways falsely represented the actions
Of the board of directors of the LEADER
Publishing Company or not.
First, he proposes to pay me for the
time used in pointing out the many ways
he has falsely represented the actions of
the board, and when his offerois accepted
and only three dollars is asked, Brother
Nash crawls out by saying 1--WE will de-
posit the amount, SO, with any response
BILE man he may name, then Mr. Brad
shaw may choose third, the only re-
strictions we place on the selection, being
that none of the stockholders of the
LEADER Company, when Mr.. Bradshaw
convinces this committee that our sJate-
ments were false in many particulars,
the holder Of the money is hereby author
lied to pay it over ohm. Now, Brother
Nash, are there any further details or pre-
liminary arrangements over the condi-
tions by which may earn ALL of SO
and again give you an opportunity to
make false statements regarding this
company? 1t is very evident that either
you or are lyaaag, and as you pride your
self on the correctness of your statements
1 will make you the following offer. I
will deposit in any one of the three banks
Of Canton 500, you to deposit a like
amount, subject to the following condi-
tions, that if cannot prove to the salts
faction of a majority of committee of
three, selected as you have before stated,
that the articles, any one or all as pub
lished in the Sioux Valley News relating
to the FARMERS LEADER Publishing
Company and the board of directors are
in many particulars false then the 5000
is to be paid over to you, but should
prove to the satisfaction of majority of
the committee, that any one or all of said
articles are false in many particulars then
the money is to be paid over to me.
1t is to be hoped that the history of
the past is more truthful than the his
tory that the News gives us of the pre-
sent, the editor of which prides himself
on the correctness of his statements A
short time since the News stated that of
the board Of directors, only Messrs. Isack-
son and Hotter had made any effort to
carry out the contract with Pierre in good
faith, but after his memory had been
logged he found one other, and then an
other, whose name for obvious reasons
had been left forgotten, and it is probable
that if he had not tired me out on that

:
subject he would finally have found all
the board to have carried out their con-
tract in good faith. Yet the News prides
itself on the correctness Of it's statements.
Again, the News of May Is, contains the
following premeditated and dastardly
false report which the editor no doubt
prides himself on for the correctness of
it's Statements
'Shortly after the paper was started,
meeting of the directors was called, and
at this meeting Messrs. Bradshaw, Lea
witt, and Gehon attempted 10 commit the
paper to the independent party, and when
vote was finally taken, only those three
voted for it while Messrs Isackson, Hok-
enstad, Sundvold, and Larson voted
against the scheme. Mr.. Gehon, who
was vice-president Of the company, refus-
ed to declare the motion lost as he should
s. . & +. y h 4 T. 4 -. { j.
have done and as any honest man would
have done, but demanded division.
Then Bradshaw made one of his wild
harangues and finally Larson was won
over and these four directors, in violation
of the bylaws Of the organization usurp-
ed the authority Of the stockholders and
committed the paper to the Independent
party, thus compelling republican stock
holders to pay the independent fiddler
and dance to independent music"
This portion Of the News editors article
is precisely like most all Of his articles
when certain purpose is in view, and it
is such articles that gives cause for a
paper belonging to the farmers wherein,
they may have an opportunity to advance
ideas and defend themselves against
untruthful accusations, unjust and un-
fair insinuations ".
First Leavitt, was. not present at this
meeting Of the board. Was not nor neuer
has been a member Of the board and con-
sequently could not vote and there is no
doubt N. @. knew it when he wrote that
article and substituted the name of Lea
witt in place Of Ole Byre because it would
sound better to have Leavitt Gehon and
Bradshaw, all candidates on the indepen-
dent ticket as the prime movers in max
ing The LEADER an independent paper
independent in the true sense Of the word.
And then you know to kick:at Ole Byfe
it could possibly work N. G. some injury
among the Norweigans, but to have Lea
witt in, that would serve the purpose in
fine shape. But to proceed, and these
four directors in violation Of the bylaws
of the organization usurped the au-
thority of the stockholders and etc. Let
me say that this statement IS false regard
less OF the News priding itself on the cor
re ctness Of its statements. The board of
directors did not usurp the authority
of the stockholders and it's proven by the
fact that at a meeting of the stockholders
held at later date no change was made
or attempted to be made in the stand Of
the paper, and further, prior to the ac-
ton of the board in this matter the opin-
ion Of many of the stockholders was ask
ed and to size it all up in few words,
there are a few strong republican stock
holders in this company that expected to
get the strength Of the farmers, alliance
through taking stock in farmers, paper
and when through its becoming an indie

 PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2S.-An explosion of oil occurred this afternoon in the whole sale oilhouse of Phillips & Cunningham, No. 136 North Delaware avenue, and No. 131 North Water street, The flames soon gained headway and several alarms were turned in. The fire swept through the in- fammable stock of the building and the structure was sblaze from cellar to roof in twenty minutes after the flames broke out. Despite the utmost efforts of the fremen the flames spread west to Water street and to the rag warehouse of Jessup & Moore, adjoining the burning oil store on the north. In short time the warehouses at No. 127, 131 and 133 Water street were ablaze. Philip and Charles Porter of En- zine Company No. 29 were injured by ex- ploding oil, while fighting the fire in the oil store, and Frank Lowrey of Truck D was hurt by fall from ladder. It was while the fire was at it's height that the walls of Jessup & Moore's warehouse fell in, burying several fremen beneath them. The buried men weIe got out as quickly as possible, and, as far as known at this time, none were killed. At o'clock the fire men had succeeded in getting the fire prac- tically under control. The loss is roughly estimated at $500,000.

What Detective Bi,.eu say..


 Frederick R. Bissell, the private detect i've of this city, who with Louis Frye was arrested in Hartford Sunday evening charged with assault and theft, arrived in this city yesterday, having been released under $50 bonds.
 To COURIER reporter last evening he gave the following version of the affair:
 l was in Hartford in company with Frye, as I was employed to assist in locat- ing 8 man in that city who was wanted by the police. I thought had located the man in the house on Asylum street and went into the house in search of him. While we were search ing the house Wilcox came in, and calling me vile name attempted to assault me. He picked up a chair and came toward me, intending to strike me over the head, but I was too quick for him, and hit him with my fist under the chin. In the scuffie which ensued his silver watch, the value of which is perhaps $7 and not $100, as has been incorrectly stated, fell to the floor and was picked up by Frye and handed to the woman who had come into the room. Frye was immediately arrested on the charge of theft from the person. Later in the eve ming went to police headquarters to see what could be done about securing Frye's release and was myself locked up. There is absolutely no truth in the statement that any money was taken.
 Detective Bissell seemed very much chagrined about his connection with the affair but emphaticslly denied any com plicity herewith further than as he had stated
