@. EVERETT BEAN.

(The story to which Mr. Bean refers In
the above communication was copied
from the Lewiston Journal, q careful and
generally trustworthy newspaper. IL was
told with oiroumstantiality and detail
that was calculated to entirely disarn
suspicion that there could tie any wrong
about it. Doubtless the Journal was i'm :
posed upon, and 1t would almost seem by
some one who was actuated by malice.
We regret exoeediugly that We should
have assisted In giving circulation to the
story, which Mr.. Beans letter shows was
absolutely without foundation.
