let me say that. feeling as / do, that

that coming into my office. laying aside
his overcoat and beginning almost at

following that up with blows in my
face while i was sitting in a helpless

than creditable and honorable to him.

that their number will speedily grow
less. This sort of conduct is especial
ly reprehensible when indulged in by
those who are sworn to uphold law
and order.
Anderson evidently feels proud aof
his cowardly assault on me by his

News Leader. that he gave me what |
deserved. and left me with black eye,

statement to the contrary, although 1t
was evidently his purpose to inflict

OF the fact that he doubtless intended
to go right out and do as had done,
