HASTY DEPARTURE OF PARKER EDITOR
Left the Town on Short Notice at Re quest of Numerous fingered
 Citizens.

\ story has come from Parker of a cured there last FridG:- night as the
 result Of which that thriving river town is now without an editor. The facts are rather hard to recite in their com pletenesS as the information comes from various sources and. though all stories differ somewhat, the essential
 points in all of them agree. For obvi- ouS reasons those who know all about the incident are the ones who are do- ing the least talking. The main fact iS that James HealY, the erstwhile editor of the Parker Herald left Parker Friday night on foot after a Seance with a party of angered citizens. in which a rope and a telegraph pole are said to have figured as arguments leading to MT Healy's sudden coup. IL has since been reported that he is in Rouse. or was when last heard from.
 The Parker Herald is a weekly pa Der that has no plant. but is printed elsewhere and taken to the river town every week for distribution. Under the
 management of MT Healy it did not seem to touch a popular chord. and
 
 tained slanderous observations con corning Parker woman who conducts q lodging house which is the social center of the town and who is very | highly respected in the community. Inn mediately after the circulation of that | issue. remarks of a very caustic nature
 were made by citizens. which moved Mir Healy to arm himself. He was | then arrested for carrying concealed weapons, according to report On Fri day evening the citizens decided that | they did not need an editor of Healys characteristics and as he had shown nc indications of. an early departure | they took measures to hasten his de- 1 cision to that effect
 1 The number of the self-appointed ] committeeman has not been learned. ! but one report is that it included the major part of the bodied men of ! the place. Assembling. they called on ! HeaIy and conducted him down the railroad track some distance to the vicinity of a convenient telegraph pole ! and then producing a rope they began i their arguments as to the desirability i of some other place of abode for cer- | tain kinds of people. including the edit or of offending versatility.
 ] It is related that he made vigor- i ous outcrv but help was not forth coming and he readily saw the logic | of the arguments used and adopted the plans the committee had made for him.
 which included departure forthwith and continued absence during the days of the present generation of the Par ker populace It is understood he was not permitted to even go back to tn" 1 house to pack his grip He was alread headed toward Bouse and was instruct ' ed that the best travelling would h" | found straight ahead. He was liberat- ! ed and so far as the Parker people
 are informed he has thus far faithfully | kept the terms of his agreement.
 One story of the reason that prompt
 ed the editor to make his criticisms i of the Parker lady referred to. is that
 sometime ago Healy was engaged in ! chastising his own child in manner [ the woman believed was cruel and she
 tried to have him arrested. his later
 publication being in retaliation. Healy's
 family was still at Parker at latest Information.
