The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1907-05-20

reply to what you term our demurrer,
that a suit has been filed against US in
the second judicial distcrict court.
Now what is your reason for claiming
that we are defendants in this suit?
You know we are always going to deny
it and then that makes a quarrel. You
have been wasting printers ink and
we nave beer using lots of it to tell
the good people of Humboldt county
that this pickering and quarreling
should be cut out and we should all
unite and boost for the country, and
certainly we ought TO at least practice
what we preach. Then you know that
story about the two knights who fought
over a shield, that they passed one on
either side in a road. One said it was
red. the other declared it vas blue, and
they got so hot discussing it that they
pulled swords ard cut n another up
in great style. Finally when near lead
they discovered that the shield was red
on one side ard blue on the other, that
10th were right and both were wrong,
and much blood he been spilled for
nothing. Nothing is to be gained by
our scrapping over whether we are be-
ing sued or not, and insomuch as You
are determined that we are defendants
in a legal action, we would Xix to dis
cuss the matter with YOU.
Now in regard to he suit. We read
the complaint and it named the Win
nemucca Publishing company as de-
PENDANTS. Now we are not the Winnie
mucca Publishing eompany-that' posi-
tive. Now by a syllogism (whoa, back
mp; you know what q s%yllogism is don't
vou9) well, by one of those things, we
reason as follows: The w. P. Co.
(Note-We do not mean the Western
Pacific company is a corporation. A
corporation has no soul. We have a
soul, therefore we are not the Winnie
mucca Publishing company. and mas
much as the Winnemucca Publishing
are the defendants in the suit,
then we are not being sued. If we had
been the w p. Co. We would have been
the defendants, but also, if our aunt
had worn trousers. she would nave been
our uncle.
We do not understand why you are
troubled so much about the manage
ment of the Silver States Did any OF
the var GUS managerA nts ever owe any
man any money and not pay itg Is that
true of your management If you OBJ
iect SO strenuously to present manage
ment. we will call it immediate man
agement, by that we mean the manage
ment, that chases news items, pounds
the typewriter, orders the material and
looks for its living out of the revenue
of the office. But in all this you are
real funny. Amy relation to Marx
Twainf
You again, my dear sir, begin to bay
at an imaginary moon and ask ahont
the ~lessees. Well, W. want to call your
attention to the fact that no claims IN
that respect have been made since
December Is, 1906. All the claims made
in this respect prior to that date were
absolute fact, and any statements
otherwise by you brand you as a liar.
And then you go on to say, lis there
anything to go to show that these gen.
tlemen are not putting up funds for
the New and Greater Silver Slater
Well, say, a little detective blood runs
in your veins also. Sure Mike, only
you spend much time over nothing.
These men have advanced us in a
business way the money to re-equip our
Office. There's no secret about that.
But Won are there with the reasoning
logic. Keep on. you may get to a
hands with Sherlock Holmes some day.
In regard to this money that has
