was introduced in the Method st con-

for engaging Ex-Governor Waite of

Simply a Mistake.

There was no shooting atfray in the
alley in rear of the White Wolf saloon
on Tuesday evening between Captain
Long and Judge Ravens, as yesterday
asserted in a sensational way by our
esteemed contemporary. There was some
shooting, but it was brought about by
mistake. A week or SO ago, in discuss
ing the doings Of the last congress, the
captain called the judge liar. He was
honest in believing that the judge lied,
and the judge wasn't sure whether he
lied or not For this reason, and also
because neither was armed at the time,
the matter was passed over. Tuesday
evening the judge saw the captain enter
the alley on his way to the back door of
the saloon named and followed him to
explain that he had looked up the point
in dispute and discovered that he really
lid lie Captain Long caught sight of
his pursuer, and thinking that the judge
was intending to call him down he
opened fire. Each man emptied his gun
before the matter was explained, but no
one was hit, and they went off and had
drink together and bridged the chas1n.
As we said, it was all a mistake, with
no foundation for q sensational article.
Judge Ravens lied. Captain Long hon.
estly believed he lied. The Judge salts
fed himself that he was liar and
started out like a man to admit it, and
there you are. Western journalism

During the administration of the crit

weeks ago il was a pretty hard thing for
a stranger to make out whether it was

private club. It was the lounging place
for score of his cronies, and whenever
the postmaster happened to be drunk,
postal affairs came to a standstill for
half day. We promised reform in this

the public has not been disappointed.

We are sorry for him, but we do not

Old Jim Revson, who had been al
