That was all the notification we received

started the work of distributing the

therefore thought it best that seeing Mr..

of the League, that distinction should
be made between his literature and that
issued by the League. Therefore the let-

e. w. THOMAS EXPLAINS HIS DlF-
FICULTY WITH A POSTWAR.

e. w. Thomas, an account OF whose en-
counter with a letter carrier appeared IN
Yesterdays Inter Mountain, takes eXcep-
tions to some of the statements maze.
He denies that his wife was present our
ing the trouble. Thomas is the owner or
a dog which makes a great deal OF noise
when strangers approach the house. Inc
youths of the neighborhood aggraVate
the animal, and upon the approach OF the
letter carrier yesterday the dog began TO
bark and otherwise act in a feroclous
manner. The letter carrier retallated by
firing rocks at the dog, which hit the
house.
Mr.. Thomas says he talked to the letter
carrier in a gentlemanly manner ana
was met by the remark from the post
man that many ours like him cThomas)
had tried to run a bluff on the repre-
sentative of Uncle Sam. Mr.. Thomas
grabbed the postman, and Mr.. Thomas
left thumb in some way got into the letter
carriers mouth. Thomas alleges the
postman was making a meal off 1t when
he swung his right and caught the post
man under the jaw, knocking him out.
Mr.. Thomas says that nobody hereafter
need fear the dog. What few teeth the
old animal possessed We're extracted this
morning by a dentist, at Mr.. Thomas
solicitation.
