shed tears) Kean St. Charles
sloughed off his support OF Wilson
and pledged himselfto Mark Smith
A few days later Col. Wilson ar
riv d in Kin man, and, although
his supporters were supposed to be
here by the dozens, they, including
Kean St. Charles, hid out and re-
fused to meet him until after dark,
when they sneaked around to the
hotel and, instead of treating the
man civilly, reviled him for put
ting them in a bad light before the
public. Again, when the Repub-
lican of Phenix held this man st.
Charles up to the ridicuIe and con-
tempt of the public, Col. Wilson
took up his fight in court and won
1t for him, when no other attorney
Of prominence would have anything
to do with the matter When the
rat" editor arrived at his home
after the suit had been decided he
gave it out that Wilson had thrown
him down. The "rat" editor sup
ported the late democratic ticket in
its entirety at the last election and
because the officers elect " ould not
turn the treasury and their official
positions over to him he is fighting
them in his usual way. The dis
trict attorney refused to allow him
to dictate the course of his office,
the sheriff refused to allow all work
of his office to be arbitrarily given
to the rat" sheet and the treasury
was not thrown open to his rapac-
ious NAV, therefore, it is anything
to beat Lovin, Dickson, McNeely
and Losan. Feeny has been the
willing tool and, consequently, he
is the onliest own with the faker.
John G. Herndon, than whom there
is no more honest, clean, conscien-
tious and upright attorney in the
whole territory of Arizona, or for
that matter in the United States,
comes in for share of vii fcation
from this cormorant, simply be-
cause Herndoh WAS opposed to him
in the suit against the Republican.
Col Wilson did all hat an attorney
could do in the defense of the fel-
low and saw that he would lose the
case entirely if the second count Of
the complaint went to the Prescott
jury, therefore, like attorneys of
good standing, he conferred with
his client and withdrew the count.
He was wise. The case would
surely have been lost and the faker
would have been mu cted in the
costs had this course not been pur-
sued. The verdict of 250S showed
the mind of the jury in the matter
They did not believe that it was
possible to libel the fellow, but did
not like to put the costs On aim
t lerefore, gave his character the
appraised value of 250$. Those
who know him here will say that
this is rather high, but no one
cared very much which way the
case went. He believes now that
DR.. Whitesides has the call with
the democrats of the county and is
making strenuous endeavor TO
throw HIM overheard In this the
man who has been of every shade
Of political complexion will md
himself marooned in his desert
