Swedes and evidently very respeetaoie'
hut notwithstanding this and against
Johnson's advice Sullivan said he would
nav them a visit, which he did after some
little DELAY. In answer TO the question
M 10 whether Sullivan was drunk John-
son said: .well, he had been drinking.
As we understand il Mrs. kalstrom' a
dsy or 80 after Sullivan's visit, did cail
upon Attorney Larson and after eon'-
planning of Sullivan. asked Tor his an-
vice. lie said he did not see there would
be apy good in commencing a civil suit
"A il he gained a verdict there would be
very little chance OF collecting the dam
ages. should any be awarded. She then
went TO Sheriff Dunn and supposed ne
would. according 10, a. she claims. his
nromise. investigate the matter. We be-
lieye he did call Jerry up by telephone,
who. no doubt, explained matters to his
own and the sheriffs satisfaction. Mrs.
Kalstron did not, as We are informed,
consult Mr.. Larson after she visited the
sheriff. but has called several times at
Mr.. Streeter's Office without seeing him.
In one place the interview makes the
sheriff to state: From what had heard
of the affair considered that Jerry had
only done bis duty and found no fault
with him" He had apparently accord
ing 70 his own showing, arrived at this
conclusion without any investigation mt
all, az he follows the statement up by
saying: II never promised TO investigate
the case for her. In fact, in my condition
at the tiue | couldn't investigate any
thing"
In another place the interview makes
Sheriff Dunn TO say: However, told her
had no authority TO prosecute the mat
ter ,anyhow, and advised her to con-
suit Mr.. Streeter," etc. From what Mrs.
kalstrom said we gathered she did not
expect the sheriff TO prosecute the case,
she thought that he would investigate it,
aud If he found the case as she stated,
that he would resent Sullivan's actions,

by revoking his appointment,
v hich he certainly had the power to do,
and which very many people here appear |
TO think he should have done, or at any |
rate. not have endorsed SuIl'van's |
actions.
The interview as published in the
Journal does not show but that the story
old by Mrs. Kqlstrom, and published in
he Evening News. was 10 all material
POINTS correct.
Now for the personal part OF the inter
rev. The sheriff certainly gave US no
nance Of being aggressive or pomp-
rus, for az soon as we referred to the
natter, he said the News had been lying
bout Jerry Sullivan and that he, the
heriff, was running the business Mt that
nd, aud acted so rudely that before he
.ot through, we informed him he might
lst IA well have told US to mind our
wn damned business" He said he had
ever used such an expression. We said
hat was so, he had not, but he might,
rom his language, just IA well have done
o. The other personal remarks we treat
With silence and contempt which they
eserve, observing only that il the sheriff

owed such statement to be published,
q should be n good Doker player where |

God service. lie might be IA well TO re-
lark here that before the account of our
lterview with Mrs. kalstrom was pub
shed and after we bad seen Sullivan, a
lend Of that individuals asked by tele-
hone il we were gong TO fire a shot at

propose seeing that this mat
II is not allowed to remain quiet, but
i'll take some steps to see that Mrs.
alstrom has at least an ample and
lblic apology, and in which we believe
ley will be backed up by the general
1blic, who are beginning to see that
hat ia known az "the Borgo ring"
lould receive check of some kind.
