that the thefts were the work OF

owner of the other machine reached

THEY ARE PEEvEo

Some time ago an article appeared
in the columns of the Independent
which was copied by the Battle Noun
tain Scout as given below with the
EDITORS note. The editor of the Scout
seems to have acquired severe at
tack of indigestion in reading the ar
ticle, and we do not withhold our
sympathy from him in his hour OF
distress. over long period of pleas
ant acquaintance with the said editor
we had never once believed that he
would fail to properly diagnose case
of diseased journalism and we believe
that IL his digestive organs had not
become so suddenly deranged he
would have viewed the matter under
discussion from q clearer perspective.
There is not one word in the awful
article that was vouched for as in
fallible by the writer All the credit
was given to the relater OF the story,
and II the story was not in keeping
with the facts the newspaper that
printed the story as told TO il by a
gentleman cannot be held to harbor
malicious intent. In fact We have Il
wholesome regard for Battle Mountain
and it's citizens and we do not believe
that there is word in the article that
any fair minded person can say is an
attack upon the purity of the general
atmosphere OF that nice little village.
Anybody knows that reporter goes
out to get news and is often Obliged
to accept literally reports of events
that are given him by one who is
represented to be fully familiar with
the facts, either as an eye witness
or as otherwise closely connected with
the case.
II is also a fact that newspaper
is not detective bureau nor is sup
posed TO be a compendium of ancient
facts, and the reporter who waits
week to verify statements made to him
by people he has right TO believe
are telling him actual facts will not
stay long in the game. II the facts
prove different than he has believed
them to be then all that Is necessary
Is for any one who feels agrleved to
call attention to the error and pre-
sent the real facts. This paper is ever
ready to correct any errors that may
creep into It's columns, and there
never was newspaper that could be
SO careful that an error would not
occasionally thwart the vigilance of eff
fort to keep it out. The Independent
has a policy of strict adherence tc
truth and clings as closely TO this
policy as it is possible to do and still
print the news that comes to the of
flee. 1t may also be said that If q
news item is tainted with suspisior
every effort possible to ascertain the
facts is made.
Following is the article that acted
like ptomaine to the editor of the
Scout and after 1t follows the nu,
