The AIedford Patriot has some funny
advice TO Sol Temple. Here It is:
What has he done2 The papers are now
trying Sol. Temple for crimes alleged TO
have been committed by him. The ques-
ton arises what has Sol. done. that he
should be so thoroughly advertised He
has not been convicted OF crime. though
tried The best man living would be com
PEELED in self-defense to be a fugitive from
the grasp Of the law If pursued as Sol
has been Sol. is horse trader by pro-
fesston, and takes some great chances to
procure stock 70 DO business with. Other
peoples horses have been found IN his
possession. Good people who are not res
ulRr horse traders. have been caught the
same way. When pursued by officers. Il
is said, he compelled men 70 get down out
Of the saddle ard let him have q fresh
horse to set away with. Who would not
do the same thing under like circunstan-
cesY Sol. put the sheriff and his deputies
into a cave and piled rock on the door TO
keep them there while he ascaped Who
would not have done so under like cir
cumstances? He got out of jail. This was
one OF Soils pastimes. He don't like TO

mitted murder 50 far as known, yet may
do so TO effect his escape from officers

man, as did the murderer OF Colonel
Stone, and as has been done in several
cases in Oklahoma. He has taken the
weapons Of Officers and carried them
away with him TO keep them from shoot
ing him Would not you? And wouldn't
YOU use them If necessary IN self-de-
tense? Sol. is a slippery cuss and has
the daring Of Dick Terpin. but those
who are personally acquainted with him
say he is not a bad fellow. From being a
horse trader on a small scale ne has en-
larged his business until he has taken IN
the property CT others and from step to
step has become an outlaw with a price
on mis- head The Patriot would advise
Sol. TO come in ana stand trial. II wan

cape punishment he should be able TO
do so. Then. after being acquitted or
turned loose by hung juries, he should
quit doing business with the property OF
others. It is TOO risky. and gives one
