action he fought hard to best the penni-
less boys out of their hard earned
wages for work performed upon his
land, or land claimed to be owned by
him, and which meant starvation for
the gentle grey-haired widow and ia
mily. You are interested and wish to
know how they were saved from the
wolf. Well, it is simple. They came
to me and stated their case and that
they hadn't a dollar to fight it with
and that If I would not help them
they would lose all. took their case
and won out'in the district court here
with Judge Templeton on the bench.
How much did save them in that &C
ton? In figures this, just $60e.22 and
interest. Yet, Crary says that never
won a case of importance! Was not
this case important to him? He had
Attorney T. W. Morrissey to defend
him and had advice from various at
torneys in the Lake; and yet he lost.
Now 1 will leave it to you If Crary's
case Is not one of revenge and spite.
This man would~have you believe l
have had no criminal law experience.
Well, who was it that brought the fish
and hide thieves to justice at Edmore?
Who was it that convicted Mcnamara,
Dolphin, Rosin for what proved to be
almost murderous assault on John
son? Who was it who drove Christof.
ferson to plead guilty to like assault
upon farmer Kingsland? Who was it
that got the case against Miller in the
district court dismissed with D. G.
DUEL prosecuting attorney? We car
still add to the list but think the. above
sufficient to prove the falsity of his
statement, as was successful in them
all. Now, ask you what have you left
of truth in that villifying attack upon
me. - a.
Now, on the other hand, what kind
OF manSis Crary who spursues such
libelling tactics against honest men.
The following is the purported decision
OF the Grand Forks Land Office render
ed about November 2Sth, 1908, and the
officials of that Office were we'll &C.
quainted with Crary. "a
THAT in the case of Egglesen again.
st Link from the records and files of
the office and the affidavits, it appears
that E. M. Crary was the attorney for
the contestant in the imitation of said
contest, and at various stages Of the
proceedings one w. J. Anderson ap-
peared as associate counse! with the
full knowledge and consent Of the said
e. NJ. crary, and that as such counsel
Ehe accepted service In al, appeal taken
I by the claimant from the decision o.
the commissioner, dated Jan. 2Sth,
1908, in the said case: and when he,
the said Crary, moved to dismiss said
appeal of the contestee on the ground
that no copy thereof had been served
on the contestant or his attorney, there
was an intent to deceive the honorable
commissioner in making a false affida.
VT: that he, crary, was at all times
the only and sole attorney for the said
l@EggIeson In said case, and that he,
Crazy had no personal knowledge Of
one. w. J. Anderson of Grand Forks
being employed In any manner to pro
secute said case in behalf Of said Ben
mis- D. :EggIeson, he laid himself open
to charge Of conduct unbecomIng q
gentleman" This decision speaks fol
itself and needs no comment of mine
At the time Crary was seeking to
get the Edmore postof1ce a protest
