.G0L0RED CITIZENS
DEN0UNCE REPORT
Of Occurrence on Pike Street
as Published by a Local
Newspaper.
To the public:

To the public:
The Daily News of this date mis-
represented the facts in the case of
r. A. Stepteau, or was grossly mis-
informed. 1t appears to be the Gus
tom of the News to misrepresent in
any paragraph 1t publishes concern
ing negroes.
We were walking down Pike street
about 1 o'clock discussing the merits
of the address delivered to the grad
yates of the colored high school by
the Hon. John c. Dancy, of Wash
ington, D. c., when We were accosted
by a drunken one-legged fellow who
is called Tom Mulligan. With the
vile language and insults heaped up
on us, We stopped to find out why we
were insulted and the cripple drew
revolver which was quickly taken
from him and given to an officer by
US. So you can readily see that we
were basely .misrepresented by the
News in It's account Of the occurrence.
In conclusion we are glad to say that
we are respectable citizens Of Clarks-
burg and raise no disturbance with
any one and especially cripples.
Either Mulligan or the News has
purposely misstated the facts in the
ease, the former, perhaps, to shield
himself, and the latter through hatred
and desire to do the colored race
an injustice as is SO manifest on
most every occasion, ..,n.-,, 81.

on ia charge OF bribery. Mr.. Heney
talked freely of conditions in the coast
city and laughingly denied that he in-
tends going to Pittsburg to prosecute
the councilnlen In the recently exposed.
scandals Of that city.
Speaking Of the Calhoun case, Hcney
said:
eyes, I hope to obtain a conviction.
I do not think that the fact that TREY
L. Ford, the attorney for the railroads
and Calhour's GO between was acqnit-
ted on a charge Of bribery in connec,
ton with the granting of an overhead
trolley franchise by the supervisors will
weigh in favor of Calhoun. Tho pub
| lie sentiment out there seems to be that
Ford was nothing but servant who
did as he was told.
| Yet, strangely enough a jury that
would send Ruef TO prison would acquit
| Calhoun before the first word of testi-
r11ony was taken: and vice versa,
would not want to have to try Ruef
before jury that had condemned Cali
houi,. The business men OF the town,
ana I use that term broadly, would just
as soon see Ruef up as not, but they
would make an awful cla1nor If Cab
| houn were convicted. They have made
an awful clanlor even before he has
been brought to trial. That is a funny
| situation, but it does not exist alone
| In San Francisco.
Nearly every business man In San
| francisco believes that now We have
| convicted Ruef we have a chance to
/ take another crack at Scllmitz, and we
should stop there. that they are tho
Eonly Offenders and that it hurts bust
ness to Keep on going up this way after,
| the big fellows. May be that's one
reason why want TO land some OF the
| big fellows
Mr.. Heney will stay in New York
| for four or five days and then return
i to San Francisco, where Calhoun's trial
i it set for Jan. 5.
