From Evidence Only.

The Winchester Star intimates
that the COURIER either misstated
or did not fully relate the facts of
the recent case which was tried by
Mayor Jones. The editor knows
absolutely nothing about the mer-
its of the case. was not a witness
of the encounter, and has no inter
est on either side; but we plainly
stated the case from the evidence
presented by the participants and
witnesses. In the evidence pre-
scented by the defense the name
OF the horse and its owners
Preferred to as ''crooked'0
was given land they do not hail
from even near to Winchester,
and neither of the witnesses for the
prosecution disputed these state
ments. So, just what ground the
Star has for saying that the re-
mark was made about Winchester
people we are at a loss to under
stand.
