Now that the lots have been secured 1t 1t is an nounced that work will com mence on the tank at an early late as it has already been de layed longer than anticipated. George c.

MALICE OF THE TRIBUNE.

In the Tribune of Thursday there APP
peared sensational article headed
Post Office Makes Another Blunder."
The article states in substance that a
special delivery letter addressed to
w. W. Cook, care City Clerk, arrived
at the postoffice at 10 o'clock on Tues
day morning and that instead of send
ing it to the Office of the City Clerk 1t
was sent to the "home of a man
named Cook living in the western part
of the city," and was not delivered to
the person it was intended for until
twenty-nine hours after 1t was re-
ceived. That is what the Tribune said,
but the Tribune knew it stated false
hoods and did so wilfully and with
malice aforethought.
We will now give the facts in the
case, and let the public judge as to the
kind and character of post Office news
being furnished almost daily by the
p. m. mot a. M, as alleged by the
Tribune) a letter bearing a special
delivery stamp was received from the
east addressed as stated. The city
clerks Office was closed at that late
hour of the night, and the postoffice
clerk in charge handled the letter as
required by the postal laws and regu-
lations, which provides that if spe-
cial delivery letter addressed to a par
ty at his place of business cannot be
delivered there it should be delivered
ut his place of residence. The clerk
found in the postoffice directory an
order filed on March 80, 1906 Gust
thirteen days before the letter in ques
ton was received) by w. w. Cook, a
stranger in the city, directing that all
mail addressed to w. w. Cook be de-
livered at 179 West Sixth South street
Shortly after filing the order Mr.
Cook made an inquiry concerning
a special delivery letter he expected
from the east, and becaue of this in
quiry the clerk made special entry
to oblige Mr.. Cook if the sepcial de-
livery letter should be received. The
clerk sent the letter to Mr.. Cooks res
idence. He was not at home, and his
wife receipted for it. The letter was
returned to the postoffice the next
afternoon with the statement that ii
was not for w. w. Cook at 179 West
Sixth South street. No explanation
was given why Mr. Cook retained the
letter so long before returning it.
The Tribune made no effort to get
at the facts, and deliberately publish
ed misstatement as to the time the
letter was received, alleging it was at
10 O'Clock in the morning instead OF
10 o'clock at night This it did pur-
posely to deceive it's readers AMI to
injure Postmaster Thomas, against
whom the Tribune's owner bears NAL
ice.
