somewhat bewildered at the returns
Of last election, but The World was
never caught playing the part Of
soFedead. Webster World
Oh no, the World never was
caught playing the part Of a sore
head, just refer to your file of the
second issue IN January after the
official papers for this county were
appointed.
Just because the Reporter by all
its efforts was unable 10 defeat Mr..
anderson, seems poor reason for at
this time keeping up fusiIlade of
abuse and misrepresentation. Web
ster World
A fnsfllade Of abuse and misrep-
resentation is pretty good, but
wherein II the abuse? We simply
explained the exact meaning" of a
few items which appeared in our
eesrt notes, at the request Of the
World As to the misrepresentation
If for your own information and the
benefit Of your readers you have
gone ont and Investigated mat
ters and found any misrepresenta-
tions, why don't you state in what
particular, Is il certainly not in the
Smith case for you can find on file
in the clerk OF the courts Office an
affadiyis signed by the officer who
made the arrest, to the effect
that he was ready TO testify in the
ease when called, and as TO Mr..
Smiths admission of guilt he viii
not deny that if you will take the
t-ouble TO ask him. In the Thul
case, look up Joe Becker and ask
him to show you his subpoena, and

the coart re@m and viii tell you, as
they have Us, that the motions to dis
miss were made as we stated.

our Issue Of Feb. "a, and the coun-
sells reiieration Of the fact that he
was associated with Mr.. Anderson
n the case. at his (Anderson1sl g0If. I
citation.
The reason for the Reporters atti-
sude ia this matter lies simply in the
fact Mr.. Anderson did not prosecute
a whole lot Of petty cases in which
there was little or no chance for
conviction, put the county big expen-
ses aud be so doing give his detrac-
tors some reason for finding fault.
Webster World
&c these have paIed into "a whole
lot Of petty insignificant cases, yet
In the Worlds other article on the
subject Mr.. Anderson deserved much
honor for obtaining the only con
victi0n ever secured ia the county
in one Of these petty cases, Of course
il ii no serious offense the keeping
open of saloon on Sunday in vio-
lation Of law, yet the court for this
petty ofFense fined the defendant
4 800 and costs.
To come out With gun and FIJI
mans anatomy with shot is nothing
serious just little friendly joke, no
one in their right mind should take
! exceptions 10 little thing like that
Evidently the court considered the
cases 81 some consequence, else why
did be carry them over the term,
III he had done this they might
have had something upon which TO

Oh no, the Reporter and Farmer
Z was not looking for anything on
