was chairman OF the meeting, and
that Gov. Davis did NOT say that

Judge Evans saws IL never heard
Of those statements until L saw

attributed to him. MAJOR Colburn
asked me TO write down what Gov

The statement | gave Maj. Colburn
was as follows, IN SUBSTANCE:

of any church. No man Is fit to

are fit, but the men are not. If
our wivea knew what we are doing
they would sue us tor divorces
Here is one who, while he seeks
to defend the governor, virtually
admits the Indictment. He SIM
ply softens the verbiage and makes
a distinction without difference.
Judge Evans, himself, says that
Governor Davis used this Ian
guage: "It our wives knew what
we are doing they would sue US
tor divorces.
Note the language carefully.
The plural pronouns 1--WE" and
"us" are used, and no construction
other than that which has already
been placed upon his words by
Maj. Colburn Gao possibly apply
to the Governors remarks.
Maj. Colburn's reputation for
truth and veraclty is just as unim-
peachable as that of Judge Evans.

fifteen years. We know that he
would not knowingly misrepresent
any man or tell a wiIlful lie in his

BACK FROM AFRICA.
Frank Evans Returns from His Work in
the African Gold Mines.

Frank Evans, brother of George
L. Evans. who left this city over a
year ago to superintend mining OPP
erations in Africa for an English
company, arrived in Redwo Falls
early last week on a visit with his
brother. His wife is visiting in the
eastern states.
Mr.. Evans returned home by way
of London, where he spent ten days
with the members of the company,
making reports on the years work,
the operations at, and the future
prospects of mining gold from that
company's plant. Before Mr.. Evans
left the company made him f1atter-
ing offer and begged him to return
to the mines, granting him all the
time he wishes for consideration.
Mr.. Evans does not wish to return,
owing to the remoteness from civil
zation, the difficulty in reaching the
mines-it being necessary to travel
20 miles on foot, and the unhealthi-
ness of the place, malarial fever
growing out of the rotten yegeta-
tation and humid atmosphere.
The machinery for the 4O-stamp
mill of the company was carried
from the seaport to the mines, dis
lance of ITO miles, on the backs of
the natives, who are willing work
ers, but who have to be watched
those "missionarized" more than
the untouched natives, the former
having obtained the spirit of the
use Of gold from the missionaries.
A niger, untouched by missionar-
les, he says, is easily governed and
generally honest. While on pros
pecting tour far out in darkest Afri-
ca his party came across tribe, the
members of which had never seen a
white person. They were very
friendly, but doubted the color of
the skin of the party, and it was not
until they attempted to rub off the
powder" that they were convinced
of the color and worshipped the
members of the party.
