1HE FACTS OE THE CASE.
The Plain Tale Which Puts the
Enterprise Down.

i however, uf eS not Seem 10 nave III
upon that somewhat happy idea.
! Last week he obtruded his unde
sireable presence upon two ladie
travelling in the State Of Nevada, OF
| their own business The man who a
| present is making a once respected
! newspaper Il laughing stock in sucl
portions of Storey and Ormsby as i
now circulatcs. took it into his heaC
that he wanted TO call upon the ladie:
and get an interview People who
best understood the situation in Vir
ginia City figure ont the matter thai
the man merely wanted to meet III
pretty daughter whom he heard was
an actress He cooked up the Cora
ven' part of the story as an excuse
for calling.
Being a stranger TO the ladies and
his general appearance and bearing
being offensive TO them, they politely
excused themselves. The man went
down stairs. fortified himself with a
few cocktails and made three more
trips to the room, endeavoring to get
in.
The guests of the hotel who roomed
in the same hallway relate that the
last two trips were heralded by the i'm
pact of his breath against the doors,
necessitating lock ing and an extra
brace inside. but these assertions may
be mere idol rumor3 not fully
substantiated.
The man who imagines that his con
nection with newspaper gives him
extra privileges in calling on strang-
ers, has no business in the profession.
A reporter is supposed to send up his
card and if the party he wishes to see
doesn't wish to see him, it is her priv
ilege to so express herself and it is
then the correct thing for the inter
viewer to go about his own business.
When ladies, for reasons of their
owo, decline to meet strangers it is the
height Of boorishness on their part
to lie about the people they attempt to
call on and endeavor to bring into
public notice. No gentleman will
do it and no. one with a particle of
self respect will retain a person with
such conspicuous lack of sense and
preponderance of bad breeding on
a newspaper circulated in a civilized
community
Nevada people have never been ac-
customed to these methods.
Regarding the statement that the
editor Of the APPEAL was displaced as
Associate Press Agent by Mr. Norris
OF the Enterprise, we have simply to
say that we have not been Assoc
lated Press Agent of Carson for about
five years.
As for sending lying dispatches to
the Associated Press about the Mint
we never sent the Mint
to the Associated Press as
we were not the agent
These facts are stated to show that
the editor of the Enterprise is not
only a deliberate and conciousless
liar but also clumsy and brainless
one who when kicked out of one lie
crawles head first into another, the
first within reach.
The following card dispo3es of the
whole question
CARD FROM GEN IRISH
Carson. May 18th, 1895.
To THE EDITOR OF THE A APPEAL
In reply to the inquiries of your
tote just received regarding the inter-
Jew which you had with Mrs. Baker. |

nst.
I have 10 say that I was present at
he said interview and heard Mrs. Ba-
,er's statements regarding the (as she
expressed it, false statements of the
Enterprise as to herself, the actions
I the reporter for that paper she
as ''ungentlemanly to /
he last degree" and that he had de-
berately falsifed when he stated that
7 am Mrs. Craven" She then said
II am not Mrs. era
en-" This statement of Mrs. Baker
s to her identity and name, 1 can
ully endorse, as have known her
1r the past twenty-eight years.
There were several persons in the
otel at the time of Mrs. Bakers stay
ere who know Mrs. Craven and her
lmily we'll, hense the testimony shows
lat the Enterprise reporter did not
now the ladies about whom he has
ritten so much stuff.
1 can further say that Mrs Baker
