THE REPORTER editor was aroused
from his slumbers early Wednesday
morning by an irate citizen of this town
who proceeded to inform us that if
certain item of legitimate news appeared
in this issue of The REPORTER he would
proceed to annihilate us from the face
of the earth or at least get good sized
piece of our hide. We have no desire to
have him do either, neither do we de-
sire him to tell us how we shall run this
paper or what we shall print in it. The
item appears just as it was originally
prepared. We regret we are compelled
to be at Des Moines all day Thursday to
fill a business engagement, but will re-
turn Friday and if the gentleman calls
to make good his threat we will GER
tainly endeavor to give him reception
similar to the way Togo received the
Russian navy when they went after.
