DENY PREACHER STORY.
Charles Trabert, Man in the Case, Says
Report Is Not True.

Copies of affidavits made by A B.
Moore and Charles Trabert that the story
carried in press dispatches recently re-
porting trouble between the two men at
Williamsburg, kan, are untrue have
reached the State Journal. These men
are the men affected and should know
whether the reports are true or false.
The affidavits were originally published
in the Burlington Republican. The State
Journal regrets having placed these men
in an improper light and is glad of an
opportunity to state that the reports Gid
them an injustice
The Burlington Republican, published
where both men are well known, says:
The publication of the article which
reflected SO severely upon the character
of Mr.. Moore but which stopped short or
actually saying much of anything clearly
libelous, was a great surprise and shock
to the people of Cofey county, many Of
whom have known Albert Moore from
boyhood and who have honored him by
electing him probate judge of Coffey
county and who always have had and
still have perfect confidence in his pro
bity and his integrity. The story received
very little credence here and now that
Mr.. Moore and the man in the case have
united in a sworn denial, the story GER
tainly should receive quietus-''
