HE HERALD AGAIN DEBARRED.

ESP ~ Of the HERALD in its
9YS y relations with h e
AJ Borough Council, GER
q - tain emissaries of the
illegal majority of that illegal body having
done the best they could to bolster up their
case.
The HERALD now says to the people of
Shenandoah that as it is legally advised, and
that advice is not in any way tainted with
personal prejudice il is right.
Any one cognizant Of the aspirations of
Lamb and Gable must know that what "they
set their minds on, they stick to-" Unfor-
tunately all the taxpayers of the town do not
know this nor do they know how Mr.. Lamb
succeeded in getting such 'walk-oVer" into
the Borough Council for term Of three
years last year They probably do not know
this because the minutes of the Borough
Council do not show it. There are many

The HERALD has been aggressive in its
criticism of the actions of Councilmen. That
Is Il plain admission.
The HERALD feels and believes it can
prove everything it has said.
If it cannot it will bear the consequences
II ii can it will insist upon the guilty ones
standing the ignominy.
Stand up, guilty ones BE judged before

tion of Council, and for what?
The second regular meeting of the Bor-
Ough Council of Shenandoah, Pa, should
have been convened at 7:3O o'clock last
Thursday evening. For some reason OF
other it was not called to order until $40.
In the intermediate period Mr.. Coakley
moved that Mr.. Lamb take the chair, but he
declined the honor (2) on the ground that the
regula, chairman, Mr.. James, would be
PRESENT
Some time elapsed when Mr. Lamb tried to
persuade Mr. Gable to take the chair, but the
latter declined and few more minutes went
upon a picnic.
Finally Mr.. Lamb faced the multitude (?)
and moved that Mr. Betteridge take the chair
and the latter gentleman, in his usual all.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Burke, youthful, clean shaven,
neatly dressed young man, takes the floor and
says:

been "Your liar" or I'm throw you out

men !" That was too much and brought
forth the statement from the chairman,
Certainly we will hear you, Mr. Burke"
Mr., Burke stated that he was not present
to find fault with, or criticize the action Of
the Councilmen in regard to the HERALD
but was present as the attorney for the
EVENING HERALD and as such an attorney
he intended to perform his duty to his client
and he did not think that that the action oI
Council in excluding the HERALD reporter
was warranted. However, he would sug
