VOTE for an honest man for Judg
A LAWLESS JUDGE.

Some months ago Judge Greer knock
ed young man down upon the streets
of Butler, aud kicked him after be fell.
Yesterday afternoon we had another
exhibition Of his lawlessness and bru-
tality. H. @. Walker, Esq. and Steph-
en- Morrison. were leaning upon the
railing in front of the Douglass Book
Store, engaged in conversation. Greer
came along and stopped in front OF
them, Walker, thinking he wanted to
speak to him held out his hand and
spoke to him; Greer refused the hand
and told Walker he was d liar
Walker replied that it was he Greer
who was the liar, whereupon Greer
struck him full in the face: Walker
struck back, but being a small man
compared to Greer could not do justice
to the occasion, and Greer turned and
walked away.
The affair created a sensation, the
street was soon crowded and the Greers
made an effort TO keep it out of the
papers.
This incident demonstrates what the
Bar of Butler county has had to con
tend with for ten years, bully il
office, and is also faint index to the
more deadly injuries some men have
had TO put up with by reason of Greer'i
unbridied icentiousness.
Greer struck Walker blow yester
day, see to it that you strike blow fol
honest manhood and the integrity Of you
Court and your home by casting vott
against him Saturday afternoon.

To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF

Sometime ago | had prepared what
supposed was a complete list of all the
Republican candidates, for the different
offices, to be voted for June prox. This
list was sent out with my tickets to diff
ferent parts of the county for the con
venience Of the voters To. day my at
tention was called to the fact that the
names of Eli j. Moore of Muddycreeh
twp and James l.. Patterson OF Jeffer
son twp, and g. w. Grove of Forward
twp. candidates for County Commits
sion, and J. c. Welsh for Treasurer, were
not on the list This WAS an inadvertence
and unintentional omission, am sure
although do not yet know who is tc
blame / publish this correction early foi
fear that said list might mislead some
voters.
When the omissions were discovered
the incorrect lists were destroyed and
correct lists sent out.

Chicken Thieves Captured.

. The chicken house of MI. n. G.
Osteen was raided on Friday morning
Just before daylight and a dozen or
more chickens stolen, He was awak-
ened by the noise made by the chick
ems and, going to the window, saw
the thief leaving the yard with several
chickens in his hand. He hailed the
negro who dropped the chickens and
ran. An investigation showed that
the thieves had made a previous trip
and got safely away and not being
satisfied had made a, second raid.
During the morning 10 chickens
