Lamont, Iowa, Nov. 30, 1900.

LamOul, iowa. NOV. %, lSUU
Editor REPORTER:
The clipping herewith Enclosed was re-
ferred to me for Identification as being
produced by me:
Down at Lamont when the news of MoKin-
leys election was received, q gang OF republi-
can hoodlums carried things on in an outrage
Gus manner, even going. so far as to enter
private premises Owned by democrats ana
them. This is all wrong. No one has right
to destroy another's properly simply because
he diners WITH II aad tns
also the laws of the state and laid themselves
liable to prosecution by their disgraceful acts.
LEON REPORTER.
No one at all familiar with the circum.
stances to which that clipping refers,
should for moment entertain the sus-
picion of its emanating from my pen.
First, because the details do not do
justice in detailing the facts of their
reckless behavior; second, because my
critical quidnuncs knew, or ought to
know, that certain red tapped satraps,
possessed of some ambiguous authority
manufactured an imaginary muzzle with
the intent that should wear 1t on the
entrance and the exit of my thought
and word factory, and fearing this
should fail, they fabricated four line
''gag" as q silencer to "pacify" pre-
tended evil.
If 1 had written that item, sharp
drawn as the rebuke is, l should have
shown that the influence which actuated
the reckless proceedings Of that scene
was born of the imperialistic influence
which permeates the administration in
qualifications and finds lodgment in the
elements which compose and support
church and state policies. If it were not
so, the actuating spirit of that scene,
which assumed that Knight is right"
influenced by the tyranical domination
majorities, that conglomerate mass of
saint and wording, would not have
gone on with their work Of destruction
in defiance Of the inhibition, and plead
ings OF the mayor, marshal and con-
stable of the town.
One Of the curious things in this case
is that the local leaders of the dominant
forts of the officers who were doing all
order and protect property.
The indifference of majority exubera-
ton to the enforcement of good order,
the reckless Indifference and disrespeci
for discipline and personal rights, with
l Cu0 AAo0Ouo COuNuCos uAu IJIO WdutOu
obstruction Of property, are long and
rapid strides toward the development
of that bloodcurdling condition tina,
nerves men for the brutality of the
prize ring and to coolly chain then
victim to the stake and light the faggo,
of execrable torture; to invade the
homes of the citizens for pelf anG
plumber and carry unprovoked warfare
to foreign shores.
/ No, sir; did not write the clipping
but, SO far as 1t is true land evidence

American citizen, with birth place a

struction, in the cradle state of Ameri-

That Incompetent Fund.

The Muskogee Times says:
Judge Humphrey Colbert of the
Chickasaw nation is in Muskogee
and at work on the incompetent
fund"
Judge Colbert and Marcum &
Owen of this city have about sew.
enty claims ranging in amounts
from $500 to ST. 500. The pay
ment Of these claims will be made
as soon as Indian Agent Shoenfelt
passes on them. Mr.. Shoenfelt
will leave for Washington as soon
as he is able, when he will review
the evidence and prepare to make
payment.
The incompetent fund" which
will be paid out is the interest on
money owed the Chickasaws. The
principal was paid in 1880 and the
amount now to be paid represents
the interest on that fund for 55
years.
The incompetents were lot of
full bloods who were unable to
take care of their affairs and for
whom guardians were appointed.
The Chickasaw nation is fighting
the payment of these claims, alleg
ing that the interest should be
given to the members of the tribe
who are not descendants of the
original 'incompetents." The
court of claims, however, has de-
cided that it belongs to the de-
scendants of the original 'incom-
natantS -
