now helpless victims of the delinquent SUBJ

LEGATION ceased with the first issue. He
printed verbatim the testimony of witnesses
in a paternity suit, and indignant citizens
drove him out of town. Later he secured
control of the Geneva Herald. Then he be-
came the editor of the Montpelier Herald.
Poor patronage at Van Buren, in his last
venture and iii health compelled him to
give up publication, and, returning to his
old home here, he was placed in the county
infirmary He is about fifty-ive years old,
and hopes by spring that he will be physi-
caly able to return to work.
The other journalistic inmate of the es-

where she had gone; that he was very busy:
people could not understand how much was

truth people would not believe him. If you
