reply TO the uuwarrauted criticism OF
Dr. w. i. CrUmbaCker. superintendent

Insane made by the state Times ana

public ought 10 know something or the

the gang who had published the TWO
articles referred 90 above care nothing
about the discharge of Bush or Nor

sufficient cause for doing so or not
Perhaps it would De- a matter OF inter

gang who are having the most to say
about the matter have been trying TO-
the past twelve months 20 bring about

the writer heard people who are we'll
acquainted with Che circumstances, say
it was no surprise 10 them that he was
removed and the wonder is that he VS.
retained so long.
Now. as "a matter of fact the dis
charge of the last named person m the
trio. Miss LOrentz. is the real cause of
the venOmous and malignant article

Democrat and the authors OF these
articles would have the public believe

that genteman's mind. the facts Of
which he is familiar. a circumstance
which occurred at the last meeting of
the Board of Directors when q member

attack ON Dr. CrumbackCr. made as
bitter and vUlEar attack ON a woman,

as was ever made on any woman be-

OF course that was all right and the
member who made that attack certain

Of this last mentioned employe 20 make

have proven that idea erroneous. as
no Kanawhaite has been rendered the

10 do with the management of the az

have said that he desired it run for TIA
