LIBEL SUIT WITHDRAWN.
The Tribune Severely Scores the Editor
OF the Democrat.
[Great Falls Tribune.I

The libel suit instituted about three
weeks ago by DR.. WATSON against the
Lewistown Democrat was with
drawn by the plaintiff. In conversa-
tion with a Tribune representative,
he said Of the step he had taken: Il
have withdrawn the suit because of
the unanimous wish OF the families
concerned. The charges made, having
been denounced as utterly and I'M
qualifiedly false by every onein a po-
sition to know, have not a leg to
stand on, and should require no
further disproof."
The Tribune stated at the time the
suit was instituted that the wicked
and, false story which had been
circulated in Great Falls and the
surrounding country, and which evil
IDENTIFY formed the basis OF the Demo
Gratis article, was Indignantly denied
by eveay person whose name was
connected with 1t. As IL not unusual
In such cases, the parties principally
affected thereby about the last
ones In the community to hear Of the
existence Of such a story, which II
true, would bring shame and disgrace
not only to the clergyman, but to q
highly respected lady, her husband
and family. The Tribune, with au'
thentic and lndlsputable Information
In it's possession, is authorized and
Just fled in denying the truth of the
stories circulated regarding this
affair on which the LewistOwn Dem
ocrat's article appearsto befounded
No right thinking people ever
credited them. All decent people have
become disgusted and sick Of them
Doubtless a few, to whom
woman's reputation and IA family''
anguish are of no account compared
with their appetite for scandal, viii
continue to repeat them until some
newer and more attractive NOR ell .
scandal comes to their ears. Wehop'
we have heard the last Of it.

Easter and Other Services.


A large congregation attended
Easter services at the Colfax M. E.
church on last Sunday, and greatly
enjoyed an eloquent sermon by Rev.

protracted meeting and preached for
us that night. 1t was intended to
keep up the services until Wednesday

cold and rainy turn of the weather
Wednesday afternoon, the services
we're brought to close after the II

ing OF Bro. Turner was greatly enjoy
ed by our people, who were complete
" won by his eloquence and earnest
zeal, and the general desire is express
ed that he may visit our town and
preach for us frequently.

Major Hawkes. Dinner.

| On last Sunday evening we had the
pleasure of dining with Major j. G,
Hawkes. and a party of invited guests
at the LeSage hotel. The occasion
was the anniversary of the Colfax riot,
which occurred on Easter Sunday,
1878. Major Hawkes. was a promi-
nent participant in the fight, and rem
dered most valuable assistance in aid
ing the white people to get control of
affairs in Grant parish. TWAS MAIN
~ through his endeavors that the
company OF men led by Capt. j. G.
Peck was raised and brought on in
time to do such good work. Major
Hawkes. came over first, and sent
word back to Catahoula that help was
needed, and the men of Catahoula
promptly responded to his message.
TWAS hoped that a goodly number
OF those who participated in the fight
OF 1873, would be at the dinner, but
owing to less than two DAYS notice of
Major Hawkes. presence being given
1T was not possible to muster
crowd. Capt C. C. Nash, of Natchi-
toches, could not come owing to the
distance, and Mr.. c. d. Hickman, DR..
M. A. Dunn, and Others, were detained
on account OF sickness in their fami-
lies.
Those at the dinner were Major
Hawkes., W. D. Irwin, C. H. Teal, J.H.
McNeely, Judge W. L. Richardson,
II. G. Goodwin and L. E. Hadnot. |
A handsome boquet, presented to the |
Major by the ladies of Colfax, adorn-
ed the center of the table, which was
tastefully spread by Mr.. and Mrs. J.v.
LeSage, and provided with an abun-
lance Of good cheer, such as is fast

ranteurs.
