Big Fork Oyerseer Matter Again.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:--I noticed an article in The Star in regard to the appoint ment of road overseer in Big Fork township, also Judge Prickett's re- ply. as we'll as the article of J. c. Bates and M. B. Fried in the News Democrat. Believing it to be best in all matters of public interest to have as nearly all the facts as possi- ble set forth, ask for little space in The Star.
 If Judge Prickett got the letter from J. B. Lilies before he made the appointment it certainly was suffi- cient reason for not appointing him, but that did not change the other features in the case. A. B. Dilbeck received the next largest number of votes and no doubt now he would be the choice of a large majority of | the voters.
 Judge Prickett's proposition as to | the man appointed, that is if the people show him he is not a good road overseer, also seems fair But the people have expressed tle em- selves on that point, both at the polls and by petition. and if the judge was to take the voice of the people think seven-elghths of them would tell him that J. c. Bates was good man, but not a good road overseer.
 He held the office two terms by appointment and l suppose that experience accounts for his very small vote at the election.
 In conversation with J. C. Bates about a week before his appoint ment, he stated to me that Judge Prickett had agreed to appoint him and that Nose Fried was to have'the office of justice of the peace. 1t is stated on good authority that when the petition was being circulated for J. E. Lilies, Mir. Fried told them it would do no good, that J. c. Bates would get the office, and when asked his reasons, said because he stood in with Judge Prickett.
 These are some of the facts as understood here, and if 1 have mis- stated anything l ask to be set right.
 1t has led people to believe that it was put-up job by three or four men from the start. At any rate 1t is up to them, and if they can stand it the people can until another cleo tion.
 Some of Squire Fried's neighbors would like for him to tell where he got the signers to his petition, as they say he never got them around home. He says the reason he asked for the appointment was because there was an awful unfairness used against him. We have heard this hint of election frauds before, but it is generally believed there is noth- ing 10 it more than the murmurings of defeated oiiiceseekers. but if there was fraud practiced against you, Squire, please come out into the open Why stand in the dark and cast insinuations. You know some love dark ness rather than light be- cause their deeds are evil. But you arc right on one point, for if the sends you the commission you are in for the next two years. no matter how little it suits the people
 AS to the article signed by G. A. Bates and others, it expressed the of large number of people and that part of the road has been unlawfully neglected can
