man. is seen out with young lady,
Immediately gossip predicts that some
thing is wrong. They neither stop
to enquire or consider that there may
be the very best of reasons for his
actions and in this particular case we
believe Mr.. Schuyler not only had his
wife's permission but other good rea-
sons for being in the company OF the
young ladies in question.
We are not personally acquainted
with the detective who operated in
this matter but in this as in other
things we are opposed to the Mail
Order Brand. Mr.. Schuyler was taken
from his own home late in the even
ing without warrant and throwed into
jail and was refused bond by the Po-
lice Magistrate because no complaint
had been filed In his court, and was
compelled to stay In Jail till the next
day. The town Attorney and Marshal

A laboring man working for a cor

some one writes letter that there
was mistake made put him in good
standing with his Company? does that
letter remove the anguish and suffer-

because husband and daddy had to go
to Jail?
We do not want to be misunderstood
we believe there has been and is alto
gether too much immortality in Jules
burg and we stand for having as lit
tie OF it as possible in our town but
we believe in getting the right parties
and giving every man q square deal.
We do not believe the would-be de-
tective is in the employ or pay of the
town, if he was after this case it
would seem that his job would be
open, if he was not in the towns en-
ploy then why his activity in the mat
ter. If he is shadowing our citizens
and bringing cases which he cannot
prove simply for experience then we
could get along without his services.
If he had a personal reason for hav-
ing Mr.. Schuyler arrested then he de-
serves the contempt of every law abid-
ing citizen.
We are publishing herewith the let
ters of the Town Attorney and the Po-
lice Magistrate in this matter and have
written this article because we believe
every man is entitled to a square deal
and we do not consider he had one
at any stage of the game. The Old
Book offers many guides for right liv-
ing and if some of them were followed
more closely by all of US such affairs
would not occur.

MIR. NJ. Schuyler,
Julesburg, Colorado,
Dear Sir:
AS an act of justice to you, it is only
proper to say that upon the hearing
of the evidence against two of the per-
sons who were complained of in my
court at the same time the charge was
made against you, and upon the state
ment of the town attorney that the
same evidence would be relied on in
your case, and that no stronger evil
dence could be procured against you,
and being satisfied that no case could
be made out against you; at the re-
quest of the town attorney the case
against you was dismissed for want
of evidence to sustain the charge.
l make this statement SO as to ex-
onerate you from any suspicion or
blame arising from the matters charg-
ed against you In that case.
...-. Yours very truly,
T. ]. Harrison,
