SCRIBE AND JUSTICE
IN AN ENCOUNTER
Assault and Battery Charge
Results, But Is With
drawn.

A warrant was sworn out yesterday
afternoon by J. Alfred Jones of the
Northern Indianian for the arrest of
Judge westigreen of Miller on a charge
OF assault and battery. The case never
came to trial. however as the prosecu-
tion was prevailed upon not to appear
against Westigreen and the matter
dropped.
The trouble which led to the swear
ing out of the warrant was when Judge
Westigreen stopped Jones on the street
a few days ago, atrthe corner Of Sixth
and Broadway. A wordy encounter en-
sued, after which Mestigreen grabbed
Jones by the coat. He reconsidered
his action. however, and no blows were
struck by either of the parties. BY
this time a large party had gathered
around the participants until it be-
came unpleasant for both of them, and
they parted.
The warrant was sworn out in Judge
F'ftzgerald's court. Westigreen wa:
prepared to defend himself yesterday
against the charges, having with hin

MAKES YELLED THREAT
Webster City Paper Implies That Gov. Carroll
Dares Not Fire kellz.

The Webster City Tribune unwisely
attempts to make factional issue
of the Keltz overcharges. We doubt
if either Senator Cummins or Mr..
Woods will care to be coupled up with
Keltz at this time. no matter how in
timate they may have been with him
in the past or how much of the time
thus charged against the state was
actually employed in their interests.
The Webster City paper gives the
case away when it says: cit is a
fact that Keltz has charged for all the
working days of the year."
Senator Cummins and Mr.. Woods
cannot afford to be placed in the po-
sition of backing graft in any form.
The Webster City paper practically
threatens Gov. Carroll with fight
against him if he does his plain duty
in the Keltz matter. The following
is the Tribune's defense:
"We doubt whether the governor
wants fight with the Cummins forces
at this time and the removal of Keltz.
if it is accomplished, would amount
to just about this at the present time.
"With Congressman Woods in
Washington and Senator Cummins Sc
cureiy fixed for six years more and
Keltz's popularity throughout the
northwest part Of the state SO readily
conceded. the report that the governor
wants Keltz's scalp is not believable
without some further proof. The
governor is too wise man for that.
We are from Missouri and will have
to be shown.
"Since writing the above. the lat
est news is that the governor has
asked for Keltz's resignation but that
he stands pat and refuses to resign.
Since neither the governor nor Ketlz
will talk the public must draw it's
own conclusions.
"Keltz cannot consistently resign.
If he does he would be confessed
CRATER. He should let the governor
do his worst. throw the matter into
the courts where showing could be
made, and then leave the public to
Judge. 1t is q fact that Keltz has
charged for ell the working days Of
the year but this has been the prac-
tice for years and years and all this
the present governor has known
about, has audited the bills and au-
tborized their payment. II .Kelts 10
