a REPORTER, S STORY.

a marked copy OF a Des MONIES paper I
has reached this office containing that I
papers reply to the denial by one S. ID. |
its columns. Il seems that Mr.. Cook, a
newspaper man of Davenport and one
Of the Gear managers was sent into

his return his exubefance of spirit at
his success must have gotten the bet-
Ier of him, tor he took Des Moines re-
porter into his confidence and told him

story appeared in cold print the indis-

been resorted TO by the managers Of
