From the Press,
The follow ing communication was
received this week for publication:
Marshfield, Oregon, Oct. 9, 1908.
Editor Press,
Dear Sir:-Mrmbers of my family
and myself have received letters
from different parties in Bayfield, in
forming US OF the autul reports that
are in circulation about my son,
Allen Knight and a certain other
party which [ wish to correct
through the medium of your paper.
It's lie Gf must use that phrase)
from beginning 10 end, as far as AL
len is concerned. l do not know any
thing about the other party as Allen
nor I have rot seen him for over a
year. I have learned later that they
have got my other son. Wing on the
rock pile, etc. l wonder what those
insignificant ignoramuses will start
next about my family.
Bayfield, seems to be overrun with
lnnatics, the authorities better let
out their drag net and corral few
of them. I think it will keep those
mischief makers very busy keeping
their own doorsteps clean.
F. Boutin Jr. has called on us three
times since he came west, has seen
Allen and talked with him. When
he returns to Bayfield, he will at
tempt through the medium of your
paper to edifv those idiotic tongue
lashers, but doubt very much
whether they nave got brains enough
even to understand even then. Allen
returned from Morje, B. c.. about a
month ago, bringing with him a
fine recommendation from the SUI
perintendent both to his ability as a
setter and a gentleman.
Thanking you in advance for any
courtesies shown me, lam
Very respectfully
AIonzo Knight.
P. S.-A certain man in Bayfield,
took particular pairs to 60 over to
Ashland and repeat the report as a
fact to prominent and influential
man of Ashland. | would advise
that particular man to make spe-
cial trip to Ashland and undo the
wrong he did to an innocent boy.
1t seems to me that man who is we'll
along in years ought to have known
better, but the years that have
passed over his dummy head don't
seem to haye endowed him with even
common horse sense. A. X.
Two million feet of logs belonging
