A Sample Mistatement.

A gentleman at the Arlington

night that Stewart and Newlands
will carry Nevada, but lie was ST.
fenced by Woodhurn man from
Washoe county who produced a
pocketful of gold and offered to take
him up. Money talks every time -
News.
The above is far sample of the
sort of senseless campaign trash that
is slushed up in the News every
morning by its silent hackers.
Now ii happens that the editor of
the APPEAL was present when the
bet was offered and can give much
fuller particulars.
Mr.. Richard Kelly asked all pres
ent at the Arlington bar room to
drink to tie health of Stewart and
Newlands.
About twenty people, all in the
room except one, responded.
That one was Dan O Keefe of Reno.
He said: Come up here and
drink to the health of William
WOODBURY..
Not a soul in the place responded,
except with laugh.
O'keefe then offered to bet that
Woodburn would be elected, and
Mr.. Kelly at once offered to bet $500
and deposit forfeit of $40 there,
and then Mr. O'Keefe declined and
walked away.
These are the facts CT the Airing
ton House betting as scores of spec
tators can testify.
When the News spreads such
story as the one Of yesterday it will
do better to give names. Without |
names such statements are the merest
bosh.
If the News wants to bet $500 on
Mr.. Woodburn or Mr.. Bartine they
will please call at this Office.
