Pronounced lns ne by the Court Ye,
Thinks and Writes sanely.
Some time since Mr. Chauncey Cable
was pronounced insane by jury in the
county court. BY reason of lack OF facil
tiles al the insane asylum, he has been
permitted TO roam the streets OF Boulder
and discuss his condition with citizens
quite freely. This much he has handed
into this Office for publications:
To the Editor:
You charge me with strange ideas
with regard to myself which is not true.
| do not charge you with the spirit Of
mendaclty, but think you was misinform
ed or did not know the facts in regard
to this unfortunate and unhappy affair
am inclined to think you are disposed
to treat anyone with the same consider
alton you would expect if your future
was in jeopardy either personally OF
financially. Then you say | could not
give any satisfactory reason why wen,
to Mr. Reeds room, which it you had
said did not, would have been nearer
the truth. Then you say laughed in
coherently. Well have this to say,
laugh every time think of this farce
comedy. Let them speak that know as
much about this as do. To climax the
whole affair brother states that am
addicted to use of opium. Where is that
brother? If he said that, will say that
he is the prince of liars, for he knows
that never bought or used FIVE cents
worth of any kind of opiates in my life
Then again that brother was many miles
from here when this article appeared in
your columns, and they had only the
same means of communication that
have with him. Hitherto have viewed
my unfortunate condition lightly. Blu,
now in more serious light. The truth
will always stand investigation. 1t is
only fiction and falsehood that needs
|bolstering up. stand on truth now as
ever in the past. never was afraid Of
it. In presenting this to the readers Of
your valuable paper. do it not with any
spirit of revenge. would rather shield
and protect than to expose anyone. All
ask is what properly belongs to me,
and have always been swift to redress
any wrong that have inflicted.
