was going to a party shiny nails
are awful sissy. Why. Bills never
had his nails polished, and he said to

Your Sunday paper contains un-

assault and in that your reporter fall

charged by me, which is falsely as

of was already on file and was not as

The assessor, having admitted he
changed the assessment for 1911 to
certain property after May 10 and
after the assessment was closed for
the year, was induced to repeat his
claim that he still had authority.
My presence at the city clerks Of

the object Of the assessor in following
up his book for 1911 when the city
clerk in his line OF duty as custo-

said assessor at the Estes building,

when I took the book from the may
or's office to the clerks office with
the object of getting q copy Of the
record certified by the clerk. 1t took
ME all week to get that book into the
proper office and at this writing |
have not yet an official copy owing to
the deliberate interference of John
ston and Kilroy with the clerk and with
my business. Kenney was asked for
an explanation of the purpose of said
interference and therefore concluded
to allow the story OF assault to be
concocted so it could appear Johnston
was lenient.
