Editor Press
Please allow me little space in the
columns Of your valuable paper that
may answer Mr.. T. w. kailbourne self
vindication. First, | never said publicly
that Mr.. kailbourne was the Gazette"
correspondent from this place | opened
battle with that reporter for misrepresent-
ing and ridiculing me through the col
umns Of the "Gazette', and if Mr. Kali
bourne is not the correspondent, he is
not the one | am fighting. Second, why
don't he let the Gazette man fight his
own battles? No doubt that reporter is
more capable OF defending himself than
Mr.. kailbourne and his narrow minded,
and narrow gauged assistant is to FIGHT
for him. The shoe fit or he wouldn't
put it on. The pill | gave the cores
pondent from his own pill bag certainly
lodged in Mr.. * stomach and soured or
he wouldn't feel so sick. He said in the
Press | was "loouey" Well it is better
to be looncy and attend to your own af-
fairs, than to be "foolish" ard try to at
tend other peoples business, and fight
other peoples wars There is about as
much sense in him taking sides in this
fight as there would be in me going to
PortArthur and threaten to lick the whole
world because Japan and Russia are at
var. Perhaps the Gazette reporter would
thank him to mind his own business.
Mr.. *. is bowling label suit | think |
am the one to feel. "a ggrieved, for | have
been misrepresented, ridiculed, and abused
at least dozen times in the last two
years through the the columns of the
REss and "Gazette" by smart (?) cor
respondents from this place, and he has
not He denies writing for the Press
and Gazette last spring and summer
and can prove himself innocent by the
Editors. Very well, never said he was
guilty, but he can't prove himself in
nocent Of not writing for the Gazette
within month. The items he referred
to about me in the PRESS and "Gazotte"
certainly had reporter and that is the
person intend bringing to justice if this
fight is continued much longer. How
quick ly Mr.. X. recalled these items to
memory. The Gazette" editor has
barred out its correspondent, and now
Mr.. KailbOurne has taken refuge in the
PRESS, and openly announced himself to
defend that correspondent. Mr. editor
please look over your file and see if
haven't been imposed upon repeatedly by
some Simple Simon" who signed his or
her self "Bruiser' and ''Bouncer" and
still by another, who didn't sign any
name. But hereafter, if any items ap-
pear in the columns of the PRESS and
Gazette of a personal direct or indirect
nature from this place about me some
one will suffer for it, and editors arc re.
quested to guide themselves accordingly.
The Gazette barred out its correspondent,
and the PRESS is hereby notified to do
likewise, cut out all correspondents from
this place, for items are not written four
or five times a year, and then for the
sole purpose to "shoot" me. IF Mr..
kailbourno wants libel suit why 90
ahead, and will go hand in hand with
him.

correspondents to cut out all personal ref
