THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893.
MR.. ARNOLD AGAIN.
To THE ED1roR: II was asked the 9TH
or day if I had seen the GAZETTE of
the I'D. Not being q subscriber OF
course / had to say no. when friend
handed me copy. Ini find print
ed personal letter from myself to the
editor, with the editors comment. Now
amongst gentlemen, it is considered q
dishonorable act to publish personal
letter without permission from the
writer. The fact of your publishing
said letter stamps you therefore as q
man without honor and no gentleman.
The letter was intended as friendly
hint, but as you seem too obtuse to
take hint, I beg to call your atten-
ton to few facts and differences,
which you seem to have overlooked.
You speak of satire in relation to Ar
nold's magnificent address, ETC." Will
you please tell others as we'll as my
self, where the satire commenced and
ended, or whether you intended your
whole report as satire on the alliance
of this county? You also call me an
anarchist, but I doubt if you know the
meaning of the word. If you we're SO
! full of patriotic enthusiasm, why did
you not address the meeting as. you
we're invited to do? Instead of COM
ing out like man and trying to count
eract such pernicious doctrines as the
initiative and referendum, you shelter
yourself behind the editorial ,Ue and
pour out your little drivel of abuse
against one you cannot answer, thus
proclaiming yourself a poltroon and a
coward.
AS to the matter of the beer wagon
you give yourself away entirely, for I
positively did not know there was such
vehicle around, but ! did hear q
friend remark that there must be
something very interesting around the
barn, as the editor of the GAZETTE
went around there SO frequently.
With regard to your malicious in
| situations respecting my Sunday
school record, let me give you pint
or. You ardI both have q record in
this nefghborhood, you as cowboy and
as Sunday school superintendent. !
showed your villainous screed to one
who knew you well when herding cat
tie here and this was his verdict,
.don't notice hin, he was always liar,
and it.seems he has not improved any
as he got older" With respect to my
self please note that two days ago ]
was requested to take charge of this
Sunday school again for the fourth
season.
I know the reason of your vicious
attack on me. Do you remember get
| ting snubbing last January, when
you thought you could run the board
of county commissioners You will
find that the man who snubbed you
there. can snub you now, and keep do
ing it when necessary. Take my ad.
vice sonny, and consult your medical
man, and if he can't ease your swelled
head, try new hat, or even q little
modesty. But perhaps you lost your
modesty somewhere in Minneapolis,
and the rag pickers have thrown it in
with the garbage. Don't fancy your
self with all your years of age and
wisdom, the mentor of the county. Re-
member the fable of the frog and the
OK (if your reading has been extensive
enough to have got that far) and take
warning from poor froggy's fate, which
may be summed up in the words writ
ten on the emigrant wagon, Busted
by Thunder" Above all things bub-
by, be more truthful. for if we did not
know your youth and immature state
some people might think you were
Annanias Redivivus.
l give you permission to publish
this letter, as it will probably be my
last for the present. My time is too
valuable to fritter it away reviewing
the vaporings of an unbalanced mind
If you do publish this please send me
a copy and I Will send you a nickel in
a registered letter so that you may be
sure to get it, for I would not like to
miss your valuable comment, nor
would it be right you should be out
their monetary value. Ia ia.
Yours truly,
| JAS. ARNOLD.
| A burnt dog always barks.-- So it is
with Mr.. Arnold. His last letter was
addressed to the editor, not even
marked personal" and we considered
it our duty,and supposed it his desire,
to publish it. The cries contained in
the above contain only one thing wor-
thy of notice. We reiterate that Mr.
Arnold was under the influence of IL
