distress. He set down the lantern he
was carrying and rushed into the

the harm found it in darkness. He
procured auott err light and was as

He summed up as follows:
Gentlemen Of the jury, snpn0s"
my client did 60 into the saloon and
bang this man yer the head with a
few stools. What of that? a man
must have some amusement in d
quiet town, and if Benenatto hadn't
been there loafing about the saloon,
he wouldn't have been hurt. When
the cerfew bell rang why wasn't he in
bed like the rest Of us.
'These officers go providing about
at night yanking in anybody they
can, because they get a fee for every
poor devil they IA Jail. If they had
salaries instead Of fees, they wonli hc

My dear sir:-YOur official com
munication of this date is before
me. l most sincerely regret that
your language betrays the fact
that you are laboring under an
entire misapprehension of the
facts and principles involved in
the dispute. Without discussing
the subject farther, | will say that
my reason for rushing into print,
as you are pleased to charge, was
for the simple reason that a daily
paper had announced that Mr..
Peck had been chosen to conduct
the Memorial Day exercises of
the @. \. r. The statement was
utterly false and misleading as
there is no such thing as Memoir
iaI Services of our Order, except
on May Both. The Church service
having no more to do with Mem
OriaI Day than they have to do
with the Shah of Persia. If it is
proper for Il Veteran soldier to
listen to the Gospel at the lips Of
Il Pastor who was born in Canada,
then it is proper for ten or one
hundred to do the same thing.
EulOgies on men who died in the
defence of their flag are out of
order and from the purpose for
which this service was designed.
Now. with reference TO my last
paragraph, no threat was intend
ed, and [ fail to see how it could
be so interpreted. You further
charge that | have not deigned
to notify you Of your position in
line. Allow me to inform you
that no positions have been as
signed in the line, that duty being
in the hands of our Marshal who
will attend to it in due time. Let
us have no further discussion of
the points at issue as our Post
will submit the facts in the case
to our Department Headquarters
and be proud to abide the deci-
sion of our Department Com
mander. Be assured my dear sir,
that my letter to you was APPROX
ed by five Of the principal officers
Of Geo. W. De Long Post. Allow
me to say in conclusion, that we
desire to throw no obstacle in the
way of a cordial and hearty CO.
operation with the officers and
members of Camp Willie on Mem
Drial Day.
