KIND Eultors
viii you give me as much space in
our paper as you did Ranger"
will give the other side of this ques-
tion. as there are two sides to every
thing We will call this Ranger
the third Judas as it seems that he is
getting in some of his work on this
poor old widow. He is preacher al
so. and do you think that he is do
ing christian act to NEEDLE with
somebody else's business to 60 to the
press about him. / am acquainted
with this young man and his wife.
They are two people that are liked by
almost everybody and try to attend to
their own affairs. This third Judas
has been meddling in his family af-
fairs.
The third Judas says that this wild
ow is weak minded. If be was taking
care of her would bet that she would
go plum crazy, Now, readers, what
do you think Of preacher that would
take little poor orphan boy and abuse
him and beat him worse than you
would a sheep killing houndf Do you
think that be is good preacherf
Would he be good to this poor widow
Let me go little further. He is cru
Ell to his poor old horse Starved him
until he had to be helped up, for and
some more men know this to be q
fact, and he has been abusing his
poor wife, and she has to go to the
field and help him. Do you think that
he would be COOL to this widow /
say, no. Who is the hypocrit' He
wants the mote taken out of some
body's eye and the elephant left in
his. What does the Bible say about
a man stirring up strife, "woe be I'M
to that man. You can lock from
thief, but can't bride q man s tongue.
1t is the worst enemy that he has.
Say. third Judas, didn't this widow
that you speak Of have a good hus-
band in Jasper once9 And say, third
Judas, haven't You said to your folks,
il we can get this man and wife
away from this widow, can stand a
chance to get her place, and the rest
of what Is left. Readers. this third
Judas speaks very often of this widow
being nearly crazy and don't get any
thing to eat but oat meal and cream
and coffee That is mighty good for
weak minded folks. If she was stay
ing with this third Judas I would be
afraid she would not get that, You
spoke of this second Judas not allow
ing any of her friends to speak OF talk
to her. Who blames man for pro-
tecting his household when long tong
ued people are causing troublei
want the public to know that every
thing was lovely and nice until some
body got to meddling.
/ am sorry that such letter appear
ed in print about such a nice man as
they call the second Judas. I have
been acquainted with this man and
his wife for some time. They are two
good people and are liked by most all
who know them. Now, readers. you
have seen people that have tongues q
yard long and yard wide, tied in the
middle. split at both ends. who raise
more cain than all the devils. The on
~ way you can do anything with such
hypocritical two faced Sunday church
members is to consider the source and
place 1t originated from.
Say, Judas. how much cash have
you talked this poor widow out off
1t seems like you would go back west
aud take charge of your big farm and
beet factory instead of trying to get
poor little limestone ledge of place
from somebody here. You are some
what of woman to take such under
mining hold on poor widow. Do
you think that good christian would
do as you have done in this case.
could state more facts, but think
the readers know enough .about the
case. The man that she called Judas
is Mr.. Newton Thoh3ks. respectable
gentleman.
