EDITOR HERALD:
My attention has been directed to
a recent communication published in
your newspaper signed by Mrs. Mar
garet NJ. Ross. which by reason of
the entire disregard for truth, calls
for reply from me.
The facts with reference to the I'M
provoked, cowardly assault upon me,
which was committed by Earl and
Frank Ross, aided and encouraged by
one Forest Martin, are briefly as fol-
lows:
On Sunday evening. August 18th,
1918. was travelling through the
woods going to my cabin in Section
%, in the North River country, when
suddenly and without warning the
two Ross boys brutally beat me. so
that I was compelled to have the at
tention of two doctors, and remain.
ed in bed for nearly week, suffer
ing from the effects of the injuries

hood, whereas l am a man of SO years
of age, and weighing 1875 pounds, and
it was utterly impossible for me to
make any defense against their vic
ious, cowardly assault.
I have been settler, and have
lived in the North River country since
1899, and all of the Old homestead
ers without any exception in that To-
cality will bear witness to the fact
that l have always conducted myself
as a good citizen. and have been n
law abiding and peaceable citizen in
every respect
As to the merits of the controversy
between Mrs. vxnderpool and Mrs.
Ross, have nothing to do. and no
interest therein, except Is settler.

naturally opposed to claim jumping.
Mrs. Ross has apparently made
studied effort to mislead the reading
public as to the outcome of the pro-
secution, which was instituted by the
law abiding citizens and officers of
North River, while I was recovering
from the injuries inflicted. Instead
of the prosecution being dismissed,
or a new trial granted, the two Ross
boys were not only convicted in the
Justice Court, after full and CON-
plete trial. in which they we're de-
Tended by attorney Welsh Of Ray
mond, and on appeal to the Super
ior Court of Pacific County, they
were again tried by Judge Rice, and
jury of twelve we'll known men and
women Of that county, and although
defended by two attorneys, who ex-
erted every effort in behalf of their
clients, were again convicted. and in
stead of a new trial having been
granted, as Mrs. Ross caused the
newspapers of Grays Harbor to pub
lish, it was denied to them, and both
Of them were sentenced by Judge
Rice upon the verdict of the jury, and
this conviction stands against them.
1t seems to me that Mrs. Ross,
instead of encouraging her sons in
acts of lawlessness and wrong doing,
should refrain from rushing into the
in an effort to uphold
them, and such a view is, am en-
dorsed by all of the inhabitants of
the North River country. without any
whatever.
