CAME OF BLUFF.
AN ATTEMPT 10 SCARE THE WORLD
WITH ARREST
A STRONG EFFORT BEING MADE TO
INTIMIDATE AND SCARE THIsPA-
PER1N MAKING DISCLOSURES.


Late Saturday evening the topic 81
conversation generally was that the
editor Of THE Womb would be arrest.
cd by Honorable Geo. +. Evans, on 1
charge Of criminal libel. The report
began to spread up until yesterday
evening, when it was finally circulated
that the papers were sworn out and II
Aler had not been arrested, he would
be in very short while. Up to the
time Of this writing nothing in that di-
rection has officially developed, and
the public can rest assured that when
it does we will publish the full par
ticulars.
We would not be surprised to have
a proceeding Of this kind against us
sprung at any time, and are ready at
a moments notice to confront the
Clique Matters are growing des-
perate, and any action they might re-
sort to win not be surprising to any
one. When the report was circulated
yesterday, notice was sent TO this Office
by at least q dozen Of our most re-
sponsible citizens. urging Us not to be-
come scared, or allow them in any way
to intimidate US, that they were with
The WORLD in this fight, and were
ready at any time to assist it financial
~, If necessary. To them we are
thankful, and appreciate the encour-
agement, and also the fact that we are
not alone. As far as any ..bluff" with
us Is concerned that win never work.
We are in the fight, and purpose to
see it through to the bitter end, il It
may be termed snch.
We must not be expected TO publish
results every day, nor everything We
develop, - sometimes the publication
Of ohSfust might prevent rs from So
curing others HI, we assure you,
that we have lots IN store that has not
been published, and will not be until
the proper time arrives. To say, that
in the end disclosures win be made
that will astound the public, would
be hardly expressing the papers we
hold. As far as being scared is con-
cerned, that cnts no figure with us.
We would rather spend the balance Of
our days behind prison bars, knowing
we have done our duty in the right,
than to continue q lucrative business
driven by clubs over our heads with
such men. Yes, q thousand times over,
if possible. We want justice and that
which is right.
On Monday morning we were just
crossing the Court House payementto-
ward our Office in company with j. H.
Racey Mr.. Geo. w. Feidt was stand
ing in the doorway Of the Court House
and called to us. We approached him
as gentlemanly as we could possibly
do, and greeted him the time Of
day. He asked us to go up in his of,
fee, as be wanted to talk about some
matters.
At the time we were engaged in an
important matter, and had 10 excuse
ourself. telling Mr.. Feidt that when
through we would call over and see
him. We did not find an opportunity
to leave work before about 3 o'clock
the same afternoon, and then went to
his Office and did not find him. We
weSt out again at about o'clock.
This time he was in and the converse
ton started up at once on the Daley
matter. Everything was talked Of but
the arrest. Finally we asked Mr..
Feidt If there was any truth in the RUM
or, and if so what the object was. He
said the rumor was correct and .'they
have been after me for some time
about it and I have been holding IL
off,
We requested Mr.. Feidt to proceed
on it whenever he saw tit, as we were
fortified to protect ourself, and would
save him the trouble Of having war
rant sworn out; all he had to do was
to notify us and we would promptly APP
pear before the Justice. Mr.. Feidt then
went on to explain how NJ. s. Quay
had two editors in Pennsylvania fined
and jailed for q like offense. We in
formed him that this was not case Of
that kind, and We did not care if it
was we would prove our assertions,
and were not to be scared. Wefurt6er
