THE Enterprise, in language that !;
not parliamentary, last week came to
the defense Of Mr.. johnson, who for
merly served as foreman for the Lyon:
81 Campbell cattle company. The In
terprlse says that Sheriff Laird denie:
having said that he had refused to ap
point Johnson as deputy sheriff. Sher
an Laird AID positively state to the
Liberal that he had refused to ap
point johnson as deputy sheriff. He
told the LIBERAL many other thingl
in regard to both johnson and Lyon
that can be reported if necessary
Whether the sheriff was mistaken il
w1at he told the LIBERAL, or in whar
is reported he told the Enterprise, 81
whether the Enterprise is mistaken il
what was told its reporter by Sheriff
Laird the LIBERAL is at present un
able to discover. As regards johnson
if he is trying to lead a straight life
far be it from the LIBERAL to say o
do a thing that would pain him in th,
least. But when a man has deserved
the reputation that johnson bearsanC
desires to live it down he should no
maj his reform by writing anonymoui
letters.
