AN OPEN LETTER FROM !
WEHE.
Edmore. N. d., Nov. z I, 1905.
Editor Inter Ocean !: Sometimes
it is imperative that one should
take the public into his conf
dence, ! and let them know the
true state Of affairs in matters
that have been maliciously aired
before them by malicious people.
and as Judge Henry says ''hue
to the line and let the chips fall
where they will" h q.
The public is already aware. Of
the fact that Mr.. Crazy has Ii
beled me and has been arrested
on libel charge and is now out
on bonds awaiting his hearing
and what the outcome will be is
immaterial, as the States Attor-
ney thought the charge was suffii-
Gent when the ma tier was laid
before him. Even up to the
present time of his last publica !.
ton was willing not to press
the charge against him, if he,
would come out in a manly way
and retract, but it seems that the
man is devoid of truth, and that
time and attention is only vast
ed on him. This man for some
time past has been trying to
create a general reputation for
me through his paper, just as.
he did in the past publication
thinking that he might assist
his own interests which are SO
vital just now. But Mr.. Crary
has a long task before him ia
the leveling process.
Mr.. Crary's paper contains the.
statement to the effect that the
banks did not wish to do bust
ess with me or have any rela-
tions with me. But he is not.
well informed again or else he 4
would know that | refused to do /
business with them first on lines
