The Pierre Press Bureau ha,
reached the limit IN the matter O
villitication, and last week in its
subsidized press caused an article tt
be printed charging Mitchell as be.
ing lying frauds, etc, all on accoun,
of that Hughes county exhibit, which
was displayed in The Widmann hote.
during corn palace week. They
offered to give. One Thousand Dollar:
to any person who would prove that
the products in the exhibit we're no,
raised in that county. That was
merely a bluff on their ..part-they
wouldn't pay it If the proof was
handed to them in gold nuggets.
They are particularly sore at Mitch
ell because their fraudulent exhibit
was shown up in this city.
The bureau clipped an article from
The Republican, published at the
close OF the state fair at Yankton.
in which we referred to the fact that
a portion of the fruit exhibit was pur-
chased in a grocery store at Yank-
ton. The bureau ccuses us of lying
like Sin and detied US to produce the
proof. The Republican could pro-
duce the proof with her greatest ease,
II we cared to involve a third party
in a very unpleasant scrap. lit isn't
necessary to bring that party into
the matter, for WIEN the Pierre TEL
lows removed the California plums
from the exhibit i'm this city it was
evidence that they had
been buying their frnit outside of
Hughes county.
In this long volcanic TRADE Pierre
wants Mitchell to produce proof that
the agricultural, stuff was not raised
in Hughes county. 1t will be no.
tlced by the reading public that the
push has said nothing about
the letter written bg Charles l..
OF Pierre, and which was pub
lished and circulated in this city
during corn palace week. 1t was a
body blow to Pierre and they have
had nothing to say in its defense.
II Pierre is looking for proof the
OF MIR. HYDE is ample for any
sane person. Mi. Hyde addressed a
to gentlemen in Potter. Suliy,
and Stanley counties asking them
to send some agricultural products
for an exhibit, which was to be TAX
90 to Mitchell. The original letter
Mr.. Hyde wrote is in possession OF
the capital committee Of this city
and it can be produced to verify
everything that Mitchell has said.
So that is the kind OF a Hughes
county exhibit which is foisted on
public as an honest affair. The
hyde letter proves c~onclusiveiy
where Pierre's exhibit came from,
out we are not banking they will
send along the thousand dollars.
Mitchell simply told the truth about
The Hughes county exhibit and the
Hyde letter sustantiates everything
hat was said.
Pierre has been blowing and blus-
