Emmons County record., 1908-04-02
\ Few Of Patterson's 5 Falsehoods.

- rev OF Patters0n'S Fa1sehOOdS.
Our esteemed friend down at the
canine corner seems to be badly af-
flicted with jonesophobia. Every time
he sees the sheriff on the street he
pretty nearly throws a tit. But Charles
might just as we'll accept the inev-
liable and make up his mind that
Jones will get another term Practic-
ally everybody admits that he has
made good officer. His office is linn
tied to two terms, and the people of
Emmons county have always reward
ed faithful sheritfs by giving them Il
second term. Last week the dog
corner newspaper was full of untruths
about Jones. One article was written
by shyster that Patterson keeps in a
closet near him to do his dirty work
In fake land-contests and so forth.
In it the sheriff was accused OF all
sorts of bad things in connection with
the arrest Of two alleged orn-juice
merchants of Hague who were taken
to Bismarck, and there, the court be-
ing ton busy to hear the cases. the
men were dismissed on their own re-
cognizance cases to bc tried at
the May term OF court in Emmons
county. The men, if guilty, will at
the next term Of the court get all that
is coming TO them, should they be
here TO stand trial Not man in
town except the bunch at the Bat
cave corner-has approved the sancti-
monionS shyster's screed against Jones
last week. III MIR. Pattersons candi-
date for Judge sees fiji to let men go ON
their own recognizance. the sheriff
can hardly be blamed for it. Surely
MIR. Patterson is not trying to roast
the judge over the slcrtl's shoulders.
Mr.. Jones is also accused in the same
sheet Of having Deputy kyes take
the latter S team t. Brofy when the
tarantula Juice dispenser was pulled,
such team not being needed, to the
end that the deputy would make
few dishonest dollars. MIR. Patterson
also says Il third team was hired, which
the county must pay for There is not
"A word of truth i'm these assertions.
Two teams were taken because hey
were needed-kycs' team to haul to
Linton the contraband stuff known TO
be at Mesner's place and also TO bring
the prisoner. while the sheriff needed
his own team TO enable him to
drive out considerable distance from
BrOfy after witnesses. One team
could not do both without making
two trips, which would have cost the
same as using the two teams for
making single trip. MIR. Patterson's 5
paper also says that a third team was
fused in the raid. This is untrue i'm
every particular. There was a barrel
of beer that Mr.. Kyes could not con-
venlenfiy get into his buggy with the
other stuff seized. Thereupon Mr..
Foell, Who had made the complaint
and was going to Linton as IA witness,
offered to haul 1t free. He did so, and
charged nothing for it. So thorough
was the job done by the sheriff that
there was no question as TO the guilt
of the pig keeper, who paid every cent
of the costs and agreed To get out of
the country, which we understand he
has done.
Thus, instead Of the cock-and bull
story being true as to the county be-
ing held up by Jones and Kyes, not a
single cent of costs was put upon the
taxpayers in wipng out the speak
easy at Brofy
The twists and contortions Of our
hairless friend anent the enforcement
OF the prohibition law are hard to
keep track Of AT one time he pur-
chased booze at wholesale and ran
free blind-pig during political cam
paign, and lie is not a teetotaler by
any means. drinking occasionally at
the pigs before they were closed. Then
he goes to church a few times, says he
'fees better, aud howls for the clos
/ ing OF pigs that are being closed when
ever proper legal complaint is made.
i Then. i'm every case in which the sheriff
acts against the pigs. he attacks the
action of the Sheriff. Sure, our es-
lteemed friend of .the nnthached
dome ot Thought is IA hard chap to
