tack upon the citizens of this county as

that thousands of men have been

day Of election, but the great cry is
sent out TO cover up the tracks of the
Republican party. The slanderous at
tack upon one Albert Monkman, who
was nominated by the Peoples party as
a candidate for county commissioner
of the Fourth district of this
county, shows to what extent the Re-
publican party will resort to trickery.
Monkman has been in this vicinity dur
ing the past week working up his own
candidacy, as well as the whole Peoples
party ticket, and it is an outrage to
have county maligned in any such
manner as done by the Pioneer Press.
Did they but tell the truth, it would
have been very different thing. Hay

change their vote. Knowing the dirty
work that is being done by the Repub-

to 90 out to the places named and watch
the balloting on election day. All we
ask is justice. and we propose to have
it, regardless of the gold ducats that are
today being used in this county by the
Republican leaders.

lock was held up by train robber.
Pollock is travelling representative of

to have been robbed of $4,000 worth Of

a fake. His story is that just after
leaving Blair, Neb., masked man en-

demanded his valuables, at the same
time hitting him over the head with a
bag of shot, which burst and flew all
over the car. The masked man then
drew revolver and, placing it within
foot of Pollock's body. shot five times,
but, strange to say. Pollock was not
hurt. Lucas is OF the opinion that there
was an understanding between the sup
posed robber and Pollock, and that the
revolver was loaded with blank cart
trdges. Pollock made no attempt to
prevent being robbed.
