of giving our readers the facts of that
eventful Debate. That Kelbaugh chal-
Tended DeVee is true and that the chal-

happened that the night chosen for the
discussion was a cold blustery night
during which everybody rellshed close
proximity to the stove and therefore nc

Kelbaugh, thought of debating tina,
night, the school house was not ever
lit up and no one found more cause fol
rejoicing than did Mr.. Kelbaugh; ant
ne was willing to call off said debate
for time immemorial. But with Oti.
DeVee 1t was different; he urged an
other appointment and it was Kelbaugl
that failed to ''come to the scratch.
More than that, he has at no time sine,
agreed to meet Mr.. DeVee in the dis
cusslon of the silver question. TIL,
Cresset's statement is true only in tina
a debate took place and that the de

was manufactured is indeed laughabIe

the Quillayute Mountains, near Cape
Flattery, Wash, few days ago, and
was closely and carefully scrutinized
by Lawrence e. Doyle, member Of the
Montana Legislature, who is willing to
furnish affidavits with his story. He
says he was travelling through an un
explored timber belt when a man OF
unusually large size and splendid
physique, hatless and with heavy
beard and shock Of long hair, his arms
and legs bare and his body partially
clothed in skins, stepped out before him
Mr.. Doyle was startled, and before he
could say or do anything the wild man.
after looking at him closely, walked
quietly away. Mr.. Doyle watched the
man with his field glasses until he was
out Of sight and is sure of the reality
of his experience and of the wild man.

glimpses of a strange man dressed in
skins, and general hunt has been
