The representative., 1898-11-02

uavn, luue iuto the yard of the only
hotel then in Woodstock, Zeb remarked
to his young comparison that this was
very nice stopping place, that the
table was fine and that the last time
he slept in that hotel he slept with the
landlords wife. The conversation was
here broken off as the two dismounted
and entered the hotel.
Near the close of the conference an
invitation was extended to all members
to make confession of their own wrongs
or disclosure of wrong in the conduct
of brother members.
Our pompous young f.:end finally
arose, and with sanctimonious express
sion of voice and face. announced that
he had a very disagreeable and painful
duty to perform and proceeded to say
that Brother Twitchell had confessed to
him about sleeping with the landlords
wife in Woodstock.
All eyes were Immediately turned to-
ward the talented and highly respected
presiding elder for an explanation.
The old gentleman rose slowly from
his seat of honor and with the keenest
humor sparkling in his eyes, said that
he believed he had made some such re-
mark to his young friend, but had omit
ted to state. the very important fact
that on the occasion thus referred to
he was himself the landlord.
These sanctimonious news scavengers
of the mudsslinging Globe and Times
have acted the same part as the pompous
young preacher. 1t is said that the young
minister with many bushes hastened to
apologize. Does the Times or the Globe
ever blush? We would expect sooner to
find bushes on the shady side of a COW
yard fence.
The omitted facts offered in explain
alienation by the aged preacher fur
nished him a complete justification and
defense, while it made monkey of
his younger companion.
So, in these cases cited by the Globe
and Times, full statement of all the
facts would furnish us complete justi-
fication and make of these scandal
mOngers monkeys and asses.
The case of Hodge VS.. Twitchell grew
out of the same transactions as the case
of Twitchell VS.. Roby. The two cases
We're twin cases and constituted three
cornered fight Judge Lochren tried one
case and Judge Koon tried the other
The same SO feet of land was involved
in both cases. Hodge and Roby banded
together in their testimony. Judge Loch-
ren believed them and gave judgmen,
for Hodge. Judge Koon found their testi-
mony untrue and gave us much larger
Judgment. If these libelous sheets hai
any fairness in their make up, froIs
managing editor to printers devil, they
would have published Judge Rooms de.
cision also
The decision of Judge Koon in the
Roby case completely vindicated our con
tention in the Hodge case and is on filt
in Hennepin county district court.
The case of Fixen VS.. Blake, cited b,
the Globe and Times, was also a twiI
case. The other twin was the case o
Fixen VS.. Kees.
These cases, also, were tried by diff
ferent judges. The judge who tried tn
case of Fixen VS.. Blake believed Fixel
told the truth and gave him judgment
The Judge who tried the case of Fixel
VS.. KEGS believed Fixen was liar an
gave Kees judgment.
1t is sufficient to say of these case
they were none of our funeral. The
| were cases against Blake and Kees a
defendants, and not against us. If W
had been the wrong-doer why shoul
Fixen sue other parties? This mere ques
tion is sufficient answer to the dirty
| scurilous, malicious and false charges G
both the Globe and Times.
If Canty made his campaign in 1S9
by singing this Kind of dirt we do nc
wonder that from all quarters men al
saying they have no further use fo
| Canty. "a - z. A. T.
