The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1893-05-29

The public has been vary anxious
since Saturday to know what il vas
lthht VIM. T. Stewart hailed r. Yer.
non Aler about, and Why he made the
assault. OF course people will form
their opinions about the matter, and
no fiimsy pretexts win change them. |
Mr.. Stewart some time ago attempted
TO wage war against Aler by using his
position as President Of the National
Bank, and attempted to interfere
with Aler's endorsement He went to
Alef's main standby and stated that
be tStewartl thought he lthe endorser)
ought to be getting of Of Aler's paper
that he Steward thoughtit ought TO
be paid off. The endorser listened At
tentively and Stewart continued, "any
time sou want il done let me know
and rH have ii attended to. Z The en-
dorser Immediately wentto Aler andre
lated the whole conversation. Alercom-
a.itaisatel it to several Of his friends
wh9 were directors in that bank, and
who butterfly denounced the Presidents
action. The matter went on until last
week, when sudden demand was
made for the money. But the foster
Cd hopes failed to materialize. Aler
responded and plankcd down the
cash That endorser was in the
ring, SO was Aler--and the Bank
could not complain No trouble
was caused. The cashier, another Of
Aler's boon companions Cd will testify
that everything was attended to gem
teellY and respectfully. But, within a
half hour afterward Aler was assault
cd. The following represents the
whole occurrence after Aler was stop
ped:
.'Aler, what in the hi are you go-
ing around here for telling people Il
interferred with your endorsers ~
Aler stopped, turning around to his
left about sideways, and replied: Mr..
Stewart | can only refer you to my
authority, Mr.. John w Martin. Z
Stewart replied, 'sYou are CD
id liar, and Martin says you're
Cd id liar ?
At this juncture Aler turned around
Fand started of, when he received the
blow behind the left ear. The fact
Of Aler carrying the fingers Of his
right hand mashed, is no consideration
OF cowardice when compared with the
idea Of striking him IN the back Of the
head from behind the left shoulder. 7
Such bravery, heroism, and pugilistic
ability will only meet with the APPROX
al of Stewards friends, whose good will
would hardly benefit any one. Aler
can afford to have the i'll will of such
people. He prefers it, and will never
regret their loss Then to consider
such an expression coming from John
Martin. Aler knew Martin didn't in
Idulge IN snch language, 50 does the
people Of this community. Might as
well use that language with the wind,
Mr.. Stewart. II won't find a resting
place short of pretty hot atmosphere.
Yet good many people, doubtless,
will not be satisfied with this explana-
ton. OF course they have privilege
to their opinions, and very likely will
think Of a good many umpleasantries.
He did interfere with Aler's endorser,
and perhaps he viii admit he did since
his visit today to that endorser. Mr..
Stewart evidently struck snag. He
found Aier did have friends and
friends who will swear they never au-
thorized him to interfere, Or asked his
assistance friends who helped Aler
and kept him posted. This was an Of
fort in fruitless direction, and GER
tainly commendablc advantage Cd
to parties having bank dealings.
Everybody ought to 60 at once to the
National Bank, and enjoy the kind
hospitality Of the ever watchful Presi-
dent. For the truth Of this matter,
the endorser gilt edge financially,
and an example Of morality, christian
ity, and integrity, will state that the
statement in this article is correct. It
was submitted to him before go
ing to press. The truth cannot
be smuggled Honesty will
never give way to brutal conduct
and financial domineering. There is
always helping hand, Mr. Stewart,
for those who have the sincerity Of
purpose, and courage to tell the truth.
