Give Us d SQUARE Deal.

During the late nauseating trial
of Frank Jones in the Circuit Court
for unlawful cohabitation, it crop-
lped out a time or two incidentally
in the testimony that d short time
previously Frank Jones had been
/ in a fight in "Frogtowno in which
he was so badly used up by some
one that he was carried off to Fam
ME Jackson's hospital for re-.
pairs; but, under the rules Of eyi-
dence, this line of testimony was
not pursued in the trial at bar.
With the clue thus obtained, The
Leader has instituted an independ-
ent inquiry of it's own, and unless
its information is woefully at fault
and it doesn't believe. it is on.
the occasion in question a well-l
known young white man of the
town with nice wife and childrens
another white man who wouldn't
be allowed to sit on any jury In
Lincoln county because of his
reputation as a common gambler.
Frank Jones and one or two other
kindred spirits were up in Frog
town in the house of a notorious
negro prostitute and blind tiger
gambling and drinking beer
when the fight ensued in which
Jones was disabled and subsequents
ly carried off by back way to the
aforesaid hospital" Not an arz
rest or affidavit has ever been made
for anything that happened on this
occasion, though one or more police
officers Of the city soon had knowl-
edge of the row and the character
of the crowd and place, and all
that had occurred.
Give us a square deal, gentlemen
mo shirking and no playing favor
ties, in this dirty linen business.
