OMAHA, Sept. 2S.-To the Editor of The
Bee: In reading your paper this morning
l read the clipping inclosed. Il Is my re-
quest that you contradict the same. The
following is the truth: l was walking
through Vinton avenue with a special
deputy sheriff when at Eighteenth street
four men came out of a house and were
talking to each other. We passed them
and the deputy thought ne heard them pass
a remark about US. He went back to show
them that he was an officer Of the law
and when they showed fight he ran away.
leaving me with the four men to play foot
ball with, which they did good and
plenty. While l lay i'm the lot at Tween
tieth and Vinton streets a man came out
OF a house that was on the lot and said
that If 1 did not get off his property he
would kill me and in regards to my being
drunk 1t was a lie. Very respectfully,
