|. Howard Democrat: Young man don't
bart your hair in the middle, set your
hat on the back of your head and e tyour
handkerchief prelude from your outside
pocket. Don't do it. Have some re-
spect for the feelings of others. OF
course you look absolutely and irresis-
tible stunning and all the girls are
driven almost to distraction by your
august ensemble; but you should cor
slider that your makeup and deport-
ment when Interpreted by many people
is like q placard or your back which
reads; II have no brains to be sure,
but then I am awful fine looking"
It is very often that mistakes are
made in newspapers, and when they do
occur it 10 no more than right that they
should be rectiied as speedily as posi-
BILE after the true status of affairs Is
learned. In its issue of two weeks ago,
in speaking of the trial of Ed Brown
charged with rape, The COURIER err
r0neously stated that the accused and
the young lady we're to be married, and
that Brown was released upon request
of the states attorney. 1t now tran
spires that the defendant was released
upon his promise to leave the state and
never to return-which he did, as far
as the leaving is concerned-and that
the parents of the girl would not, un-
der any consideration, consent to the
marriage of the parties. While THE
COURIER erred in making the state,
ment, the information was not given
as an actual fact. as anyone q notice
by reading the item. THE COURIER
said I'VE understood such to be the
case, and so we did at the time of writ
ing the article.
Since the last issue Of THE COURIER
there have been several uncalled for
incidents in this city pertaining to the
aQaitatiOn for the suppression OF the
liquor traffic. Col. Holt, who finished
q course of lectures on Wednesday
evening OF last week was insulted by q
band Of hoodlums, who threw Q number
Of eggs at him as he was passing the
fremont house on his way to Emory
Morris home from the church after
having finished his lecture course.
| Such actions cannot be countenanced
in any shape or form, and but illustrate
| the vicious and evil intentions of the
liquor element in this city. Such acts
more strongly than " educate the
! masses in favor of stringent and dras-
tic measures. 1t was an insult to the
city of Elk Point, as we'll AZ to the
stranger who was here occurring. Fol-
lowing this came the arrest of Truman
| Ames, assistant encouragement, upon
| the sworn affidavit of Pat Daily, who
! complained that Mr.. Ames had PRO
cured, advised, and cOunseled with"
Sheriff Anderson in breaking into his
(Daily's) place of business. Daley ran
/ q salOon-violated the law-was q GRIM
inal-and his cause for acli0n was pure
" a farce. The trial took place before
Judge Smythe, who discharged Mr..
Ames and dismissed the action. On
Saturday Daley had Mr.. Ames arrested
again and he wa dragged to jefferson,
where Mr.. Ryan, the justice also dis
charged them. E. c. Ericsson was at
torney for Ames, Fawcett for Daley.
The name of Sheriff Anderson was
/! included with that of Ames, but owing
| to the fact that he was in the north end
| of the county on official business the
warrant for his arrest could not be
served and We understand Daily has
concluded to drop the proceedings.
The point before MI. Ryan Of Jefferson
which he sustained was that he was
not . justice Of the peace and had no,
qualified as such.
