Cadet Irwin +. Lands recently sus-
tanned an injury in his leg while en-
gagged in an interesting ball game,
which kept him out of drills and athlet-
ic games few weeks. but he is now
recovered and back at the business.
Barber county's representative is at
the head of the academy both in intel
lectual and physical development and
is a whole team wherever you put
him. He received his injury by fell
low cadet who thought he possessed
the requisite qualifications to run over
him while making base run. The tel
low, however, much to his discontinue,
found that the power was not equal to
the resistance and the result was that
he landed himself somewhere near the
starting point, considerably bruised.
1t takes good man to successfully
run up against 1ry.; there are about
1870 pounds of resistance, backed by a
powerful determination, to overcome.
l. f. IS again as sound as ever and is
none the worse even though he has
gone through base ball and foot ball
games most of which were terrific
enough to kill the average mortal.

another man with whom Mr.. b. was

a year ago he left the country and Mir.
Bean assumed the account which was
an arrearage of three years, and paid
it. In this manner he Strengthened out
nearly $4,000 of debt that his friend
had left when he pulled his freight"
Mr.. Bean was liable on notes for most
of this, but in our case he was not.
Such a man is an honor to the county
in which he lives and can not help but
have numerous friends. He is in rather
poor circumstances but pays his friend s
debts without much complaining. 1t
is more than most wealthy men could
do.

A CITIZEN SPEAKS.

EDS. INDEX: 1 am sorry to see that
you are so hard on the editor OF the
Cresset for telling lies; he can't help it,
he Is built that way.
But Tom McNeal has no excuse for
lying, only for protection" from the
truth which will be hard on him when
it all comes out. We remember long
time ago when Tom was editor of the
Cresset he made us grangers believe
that he would fight the fraudulent
bonds to the bitter end, but all at once
Tom changed his mind and favored
compromise. fastened to Medicine
Lodge as soon as / heard of it, and
tried to strengthen him in fighting the
bonds. proposed to him, among 9th
er things, that we would elect commits
sIoners who would 60 to Jail, if need be,
20 wear out the bondholders. Tom
replied that the government would
force the collection of interest even
with troops, if necessary. l noticed at
the time q man at the table in his
(Tom's) Office. peep over the top of a
newspaper at me, at the same time pre-
tending to be reading. 1 then stepped
out of the Office and about 20 feet from
the door met friend and commenced
telling him my grief at Toms going
back on the people. He replied In an
ger that Tom and the whole machine
had been creased, then turning his
face toward Toms Office said. Don't
you see the bondholder in his office?''
This was fact; his name is ThOmp-
SON, and he made his headquarters in
Toms Office. We then went to work to
beat the compromise before the people,
but they made the compromise without
consulting the people.
/ believe that most all who took part
in the fraud have left the county. Tom

nEAHNEss pERsoE1rrED.

The Cresset last week, in its court
news says:
The Rule Bros. tax matter was decid-
ed by Judge Mckay in favor of the de-
PENDANTS and injunction dissolved.
This leaves the county with the costs
| to pay and is another evidence of the
| ability of our county attorney.
The title of the case was Rule Bros.
vs.. 0. Mills, sheriff, ct. al. The case
was brought to restrain the sheriff from
collecting certain taxes which the coun-
ty attorney had previously told Rule
Bros. they could not evade. They, how
ever, did not seem to be satisfied with
the county attorneys opinion but rush.
ed into court. The result was that
they got it in the neck and instead of
the county being left with the costs
to pay" the plaintiffs, Rule Bros, will
have them to pay.
From the tone of the Cresset's item,
we conclude that it would have the
public believe that Rule Bros. were de-
PENDANTS in the matter and that the
county was plaintiff. If this conclus.
ion be correct, then the Cresset is not
competent to publish court matter and
is an inexcusable misfit. If, however,
it was endeavoring to create a false
impression in reference to our county
attorney, and had to employ such a low
method to accomplish its purpose,
words cannot be found to express the
contempt the act deserves. And vet
the Cresset is newspaper" accord
ing to the braggadocio that sits in the
editorial chair. The fact is, it is any
thing else but newspaper. If we were
disposed to give 1t its right name, we
would call 1T the symbol of falsehood.
The CresSet has made so many unsuc-
cesstul attempts to prove the county
attorney incompetent, and since it has
failed in this, it resorts to bold and un-
vanished lies. The above taken from
that sheet is entirely devoid of truth.
The county attorney won his case not
withstanding the fact that other law
yers thought he could not. and that is
what hurts. We advise Axline to read
the record again in this matter, and if
he has any claims on being even an ex-
cuse for newspaper man, he will cor
rect himself. However, we don't ex-
pect such an event.

Some of the county officials say that
mysterious somebody tried to enter
through the transom over County Clerk
GaddIe's Office door last Thursday
night. Our attention was called to a
panel of Jail bars standing perpendic-
ularly against the door and we also
noticed finger marks on the transom
window. Just who the person was we
are not prepared to say and it is at any
rate, only matter of speculation.
However, Bob says he knows nothing
about it, was not in the Office at the
time, and, if necessary, can prove an
alibI to place himself right in suspect
ing eyes.
