a call was made for those who didn't
pay their debts, and a solitary indi-

A CHARACTERISTIC ANSWER.
Judge CarrOll's Reply to Mr.. Gilbert's
Challenge.
To Mr.. b. NJ. Gilbert, Ames, S. d.

To Mr.. b. NJ. Gilbert, Ames, $. ID.
Ny DEAR SIR:
must thank you for tie honor
you conferred upon me in last weeks
Gazette in inviting me to n discus
sion OF the money question. But |
shall have to decline for two reasons.
One is, | have neither the time nor
disposition to engage in such Il con-
troversy. Another is, the people
don't want to hear it. This whole
matter was thoroughly gone over
last fall and the case went to the
jury in November. The result is well
known. You cannot reasonably
hope to present your side with more
force than Mr.. Bryan did. | certain
ly cannot make the Republican side
palmer than did the leading speakers
and writer's on that side.
1t is not necessary, | know, for me
to assure youmy r~espectfor your hon
esty in this matter, and hope you en-
entertain a similar feeling towards
me. You no doubt believe that such
a discussion as you refer to would
entertain and instruct the people,
but am profoundly conyinced that
the people have had enough politics
for the present. 1t seems to me that
the conditions out here now would
naturally suggest the Importance OF
at least considering the free coinage
OF grass-that is, converting it into
beef-"without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation on
earth"
We have this product of nature in
abundance here in Hand county.
Grass costs nothing, beef is a good
price, ever under the gold standard,
and il a gold dollar is a two hundred
cent dollar, as many claim, then beef
is a double price and hence there is a
double argument in favor of grass
coinage. 1t strikes me that u fine
three year old steer out here on our
prairie, worth $40 in gold, that new
er cost his owner more than one six
tpaptb pf thot C,,p, IN mnpo,y :, =,
object lesson that We should 10 we'll

am for free coinage OF grass for
the next two years. Possibly by
that time the people will be readyfor
more politics, but not now.

of all strangers than before. Last week
three travellers passing through a viii

and buried by the excited mob. An
other man living just outside the city
was accused of kidnapping, and was
so frightened by the threats that be
lost his reason, and is now running

crazed. Several Christians have been
beaten, and attacks have been made
upon some of our country chapels.
The officials in that district are do
ing everything to quiet the people, and
so far there has been no attacks on

AGAINST DEFENDANTS.
Decision Rendered in the Old Ship
pee Harvester Works Case.

STOCKTON, Sept. 22.-The compli-
Gated suit of c. E. Welch against the
stockholders of the old Shippee Har-
vester Works was decided by Judge
Jones to-day against the defendant
The litigation dates back many years.
Welch bought combined harvester OF
the old Shippee Company under a guar
antee. 1t Gid not work to his satisfac-
ton, and he brought suit and got judg-
ment. The corporation went into in
solvency. This LETT Welch in the
lurch. But not all of the stock Of the
corporation had been paid up, and he
brought action to compel the stock
holders to pay up on the stock in full.
The court holds that the stockholders
are liable, notwithstanding the inscl-
vency. A numebr of the stockhoid-
ers transferred their stock to escape
liability, but the court holds these
transfers are not valid as against the
creditors. William Inglis paid the bal
ance due on his stock to the Stockton
Savings and Loan Society, judgment
creditor on mortgage on the Harvest
er Works. Inglis' act, ii is held, placed
him in the position of a creditor, but
did not release him from liability to
other creditors.
The next step will be the appointment
of n receiver to probate the liabilities
of the stockholders.
