do what is right and reasonable, and

good one.

The killing of Murphy, at Coldwater,
by DR.. Sombart, more than year ago,
has done more to keep that town in an
uprOar than all other causes combined.
The question there is: us lie Som
bart or Anti-Sombart man." The lines
are drawn more closely on this ques-
ton than on political matters. On
Monday night of last week some par
ties broke into a printing office, which
was friendly to Sombart, and carried
off the press and type. The type were
scattered over the prairie. but the
press has not been found. The SOM
bart party claim that their enemies did
the work; the Anti-Sombart party
claim that Sombart's friends did the
work to create sympathy for him. We
are sorry that our sister town is so torn
up over the matter, and now that Som
bart is acquitted of the killing, matters
will scarcely be improved.
