The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-01-20

what the law was"
Mr. lamb is taking desperate chances.
This point may be wiped out by subsequent
consultation, but Mr.. Lamb should have had
advice at the last meeting,
Mr. Gable then took the floor and said lin
confirmation of what the HERALD has here
tofore said me too y a have nothing to say,
only that my sentiments are the same as Mr..
Lambs They have not only in the past, but
up 20 the present time been criticizing our
actions"
Yes, Mr.. Gable-aud Mr.. Lamb, we have
criticized your actions, and we still criticize,
because ,os do not think that you hare acted
impartialy. NOte:-Refer to the oath of the
organization Of Council
"Why refer the matter to committee?"
asked Mr.. Lamb.
Mr. Lamb was sincere. He wouldn't do
anything wrong for the Worlds Fair, OF the
Contest.
"Why refer the matter to the law commit
tee, or part Of the committee" said HE,
Mr. Lamb. IF Mr.. Burke is sincere in all
says, and haze no doubt he is, then he does
not understand the subject as we here do"
In other words, Mr.. Burke you are not
liar, but you are not ia it."
Mr.. Burke finally notified Council that it
had no right to exclude the HERALD reporter
from its meetings and stated that if the
illegal rule was enforced the borough would
be Liable for damages. He said that a proper
indictment had not been drawn and that the
accused had not been given an opportunity to
make defense, and that he, as counsel,
would advise the reporter to remain.
Temporary Chairman Betteridge land the
gentleman took occasion to lay emphasis
upon temporary ruled otherwise.
He asked the reporter to withdraw, and
seeing that the target didn't move (notwith
standing the warnings of the HERALD's
soicitor) he ordered the Chief of Police to
remove the reporter.
Mr.. Burke turned and told the chief that
he assumed a personal responsibility. The
chief answered that he thought the borough
would be held.
Chief Davis walked up to the reporter as
he (the reporter) was taking notes and placed
his hand on his right shoulder.
The reporter needed not.
The officer walked to the coat rack, put ON
his oyercoat and asked the reporter to accom-
pany him
The reporter needed not
Then the officer caught hold of the re-
porter and pulled.
But the reporter needed not
The officer then turned and said ito Chief
Burgess Smith "Mr Smith, I call upon you
for assistance"
Mr.. Smith said, I'D rather you'd call upon
some other citizen"
But call upon you, said Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Smith refused to take a hand and the
chief gave the reporter jerk that brought
him to his feet.
The Chief then led the reporter to the door
and there the two stood.
1t was evidently scheme to have the re-
porter walk over the threshold and thus
avoid ION a technicalityl the charge of eject
ment
Mr.. Davis, the Chief Of Police, soon found
that the reporter was not in the habit of
walking very far and he gave him shove,
which consummated an act of which no men
of honest calibre would be guilty Of
In closing this report let the HERALD say
that Councilman Archie" las he is COM
monty called is an migrate. And that when
he says he had, or any Of his colleagues had,
no opportunity to reply through the news
papers he ,or they Intentionally stretch She
truth. The HERALD columns have always
been open to the public and they remain SO.
If this is not public enough MT Lamb, or any
of his cohorts, can easily gain admission to
the HERAL 5 county seat ercha5lge
