COMMISSIONER VS.. EDITOR

Monday afternoon Commissioner
Peck and Editor Steninger of the
Free Press had an alteration in
the MaSes Hotel that ended by the
editor being slapped in the face by
the commissioner and the editor
saying that he would go home and
meet the commissioner later. Up
TO this writing no blood has been
ihed by either.
The cause Of the trouble was the
publication of the following article
in the Free Press or August 29th:
"Whsn mlo, a candidst de
liberately makes an oath that he
has paid you $40, wouldn't it make
you mad to know that he was mis-.
taken? In the sworn statement OF
}. ii. Peek, candidate for long
t7rm commissioner from the north
rrn distrist, there appeared ite n
of $40 paid TO the Free Press. That
is a mighty big sum to a ne spaper
man and the public will not doubt
oar word when we say we do moi
have any recollection of ever beine
paid this sum for publishing tn,
announcement ut Mr.. Peck. Fol
some reas n or other MIR. Peck doe.
not like the Free Press. But VIZ
are really sorry that he was mis-
taken when he signed his name to 1
statement that he had paid to tn,
Free Press ten big silver ca,
Wheels"
The facts in the matter are q.
follows; Major Miller made out
TIE expense statement for a numbc,
II the candidates, among :ken
Commissioner Peck. MIR. Peel
gave the items Of his account Ic
MIR. Miller and he wrate Then
dawn. Tie Free Press iIem was nnt
among the items given to Mr.. Mil
I"r. Mir. Miller in typewriting the
statement did not cansult Mr.
Peaks list and substituted the Ere,
Press for the Contact Miner. Mr.
Peck thiTking, as he had right to
that the typcwritten statement va.
the same as the one he had given Mr.
aliller filed il in the clerks office
The next day Mr.. Stcninger tolc
Mr.. Mill OF the Eree Press iten
in Mr. Peck's statement, and MIR
Iiller told him that the mistak,
LAS hi! and that he was responsible
fer it Mr.. Miller then hunted VI
Mr.. Peck and the two went TO ihC
clerks fire and in the presence o.
Deputy Clerk Sproule Mr., Miller
oSsed out Free Press" and wrote
in Contact Miner" as Mr.. PecE
had given it To him.
From the above it is plainly seen
that Mr.. Peck was innocent of any
intent to do wrong and should not
be censured for the mistake in his
statement, unless it be for his fbii.
urc to read it before fling it.
Further Mr.. Stcninger knew that
the Free Press item in the account
was an error of Major Miller when
he published the above article.
These are the facts as we learned
them today. With the quarrel of
the parties We have nothing to do.
We have fights enough of our own.

Then, shall they longer lash and

Oh, Liberty! can man resign thee,
