WATSON TELLS HIS
SIDE OF THE CASE.

Watson and Mercer are ancient enc
mics. and frequently have taken hot
shots at each other-Watson through
his Jeffersonian and Mercer through
his Fitzgerald Enterprise. which he
once owned and edited. Mercer never
before has framed them in language as
plain and uneauivocal as that he uses
in his communication in The Dalton
Citizen.
over the long distance telephone to-
day Mr. Watson said:
Time and again 1 have discussed
this affair fully in my paper.

Ill COWH|DE
WATSON, IS
THREAT Of
MERCER
Game Commissioner Charges
McDuffie Man With Crook
edneSS in Law Practice.

Charging that Thomas f. watson is
engaged in an effort to rob the widow
OF mis- late law partner OF money right
fully due her, and with having lured
the heirs of the late P. E, Boyd into a
fake" lawsuit for the mere sake of a
fee, and declaring that he will force
Watson to treat the widow of his old
law partner decently and fairly if he
has to go to Thomson and take a
cowhide to Tom State Game and Fish
Commissioner Jesse Mercer, in an
cipitated one of the liveliest rows the
red headed person has yet figured in.
When Captain P E. Boyd died in
April he left a large estate, and in his
win requested that J. r. Mercer and j.
E Mercer distribute it. Mr. Mercer
charges that MI Watson induced,
through his law partner, three of the
Boyd heirs to employ Watson to look
after their interests in the estate, and
says that when Watson got his fee all
pretense of necessity for his employ
ment was thrown to the winds.
Mercer says that but for Watsons
interference the Boyd heirs would have
received twice what they did get final
ly, and that Watson, after getting his
big free out of the Boyd estate then
undertook to deprive his partner. Green
of his share of that fee.
ALSO SAYS WATSON
ACTED ILLEGALLY.
The commissioner charges Watson
with illegally appropriating to his own
use the lions share" of that fee, not
withstanding the fact that Green was
then on his death bed" and virtually
helpless.
1t is the righting of this alleged
wrong against the widow of Watson s
old law partner, Green, that Mercer
says he will force Watson to, even if
it involves the cowhiding of Watson.
Mr. Mercer says he has heard that
Mr. Watson has threatened to publish
the allegations drawn up by Green &
Watson for the purpose of bringing
suit in the Boyd case but. he says
Watson will not dare do this" as it
would merely prove MERGERS case
against Watson.
Concluding his remarkable letter to
The Dalton Citizen, Commissioner
Mercer says:
Think of it. dear reader crook,
who. solely for a fee, persuades his
clients to go into a lawsuit out Of
which he could not hope to win
them a dollar, and in which he did
lose them half of their interest (for
his clients received only $4,000
each, while those who were not
duped and robbed by Watson re-
ceived approximately $4,000
Then turning on mis- partner in
the transaction, and fleeing him
as he dies, and a last heaplng
insult on the defenseless head Of
the widow of the Wronged man as
climax of his perhdy.
We are not through with Tom;
We are going to make him treat
the widow of his old law partner
decently and fairly, If we have to
go to Thomson and take a cowhide
to Tom. This good woman is
working for her daily bread. while
Tom Watson, with a lions share Of

of the Boyd estate in mis- pockets.

TIME TO STOP 1T.

No doubt the county was shocked
when it learned that two dignified
Whiting barristers upset the tradi-
tons of Squire Atchisons' dispensary
of justice by hurting coal at each other
following a quarrel. Luckily the
precious anthracite landed on and
smashed the chandelier. What might
have happened had the missiles struck

to tell.
II the combatants had hurled bricks
or chairs the incident wouldn't have
attracted attention. But the promis
cous way in which they handled an
thracite suggests that the pair may
have been successfully dabbling in
Calumet real estate and that they are
enjoying the thrills of extravaganza
that are said to follow real estate spec
ulation.

LIBRARY ATTENDANCE.

Not enough people in the cities of
the Calumet region are availing them
selves of the public library. This is
evidenced by the fact that in Ham
mond only 1,779 persons out of $4,000
in the city were borrowers of books at
the library. Nearly two hundred OF
these awaited themselves of the
branches at Gibson and Robertsdale,
leaving a bare 500 for the city of
Hammond proper The fault does not
lie with the library or its manage
ment as is again evidenced by the fact
that 1900 persons took out more than
29. 900 books during the past year.
They realize and appreciate the value
| of the library The total attendance
for the year was Al ,293 persons. and
the total availing themselves OF the
reading rooms was 1921 According
Ito the city's population these numbers
are not as large as they should be,
andw as matter of fact it is practi-
cally the same persons that have by
repeated visits, made these numbers
las large as they are.
So it appears that limited as the
Hammond library is in funds and ac-
recommendations, it is yet far in ad-
Vance OF the demands of the people
lgenerally.
This is not as it should be. Some ex
lcuse could be made on the grounds
THAT the city has large foreign popu
llation which does not read the English
Language, and that another large por
Ition is satisfied to simply read the
levening paper.

WASHING IN SCHOOLS.

That esteemed lady, Mrs. Ella FIagg
Young of Chicago. she of syncopated
pronoun Stiffness, has again broken out
badly with publicity by advocating the
teaching of laundering in the Chicago
public schools. Her plans are to be
tried in one school and a course in
laundering will be required of every
girl graduate.
This is modern education with sad.
eyed vengeance. 1t, of course, will not
be a success. Parents do not send
their daughters to school nowadays to
learn how to chase a shirt up and down
a wash board. If mother wants her
girl to wash clothes, she knows that
the home is the proper place for in
struction and practice.
It rather looks, at this distance, as

A COURT EPISODE.

II the facts regarding the newest
West Hammond scandal are true the
expected has happened and the Miss
Brooks has at last emmeshed a num-
Der of the chief conspirators against
the community in manner that will
make it very embarrassing for them.
While there are some brainy men
back of the clique that has been carry
ing things with high hand in West
Hammond, the pawns with which they
have been playing are exceedingly
ignorant.
1t is not surprising then that the
time would come sooner or later when
these ignorant stool pigeons would
become seriously involved. They will
have to suffer, while the men who have
made them the goat will probably es-
cape.
II the facts regarding the attempt
on the part of Attorney Atwood to de.
ceive the court are true. proceedings
to disbar him should be started at
once. Too many Chicago lawyers
have been guilty of malpractice in the
courts there to permit such a fragrant
case to escape unnoticed.
