49, ON<ht e@AA6s "NhiA "
lawyer and public officer. without
Saying a word. jumped on an old
grey head man, go years old and
tried to beat him up. bile, the
thug, was running true to his
bull doing form. We remember
when he jumped on George Kline
and hit him because Kline didn't
swear to what bile, then prose
cutting attorr ey, wanted Kline to
swear to. Then billecox goes
across the square to his one.time
father-in law Tobias Zoeller and
X leads guilty. lobe obligingly
fined him a dollar. no cost, as
bile was prosecutor and then.
This thug told the people after
1.-THE November election 1918, that
Ithey weren't civilized and now
two years afterwards, to gain a
little free notice he jumps on and
slugs Doane because Dean had
not mentioned his name in last
weeks paper We guess. This
dirty thug billecoX ought to be
locked for life for safe keeping.
He is too onery and mean to be
at large.
This egotistical ignoramus. this
small nothing likes to believe he
has Immense political influence.
He is the laughing stock of those
who know him best. Of course
any thug can way-lav and slug
any decent respectable citizen, it
is done everywhere, but the police
Iand courts put them in the peni
tentiary as fast as they can catch
them, and that is where billecoX
lis headed for. Doane never
printed nything in his life about
billecoX that wasn't true.
LATER
On Tuesday Cox was arrested
for a. & b. and IL court told a sob
story about him and his family
being abused in the Courier, and
the trial seemed to be changed to
a case against the Courier. Z The
Courier never'said a word dero
gatory to his family in its life, so
that was all a yarn. His state
ment about never having said a
wrong word about the Courier
editor in his life was another
yarn. How about the campaign
of 1900. and practically ever since
we have had a 100 reports of his
demeaning the Courier man by
people who claim to have heard
him Anyhow the Justice took
it all n and discharged him. An
other time he may not get off so
easily, anyhow it was worth the
trial to hear his sob story. We
wonder what it cost him. As
far as the Courier mar is con-
cerned, we did rot file any aft
davit, bit preferred to let the
case 20 TO c0u t, as We knew the
d~puty Prosecutor 2nd Marshal
we're not D eaSed with each other
ABOUT en- execution the Marshal
refused to serve From what " e
have heard we guess the Ma rshal
was right Anyhow he filed the
case and forced the trisl only to
lose as we expected. Cox's law
yer (Hunter) talked { bout rack
ct with school-teacher, (now
dead, so we Will rot mention
nam-). This teacher was a be-
liever in occr 1t science and en-
deavored to hypnotic the Cour-
Ter man, it was the last year in
Jasper for Mr.. Teacher. An ap-
pointed Marshal (now dead was
dragged in about a racket with
the Courier man, six weeks-after-
wards at the election he was de-
feated for election by over 2 to l.
His friend billecox began de-
meaning the petty efforts of the
Courier man and his own precinct
own township and own county
repudiated him. After the issue
of Sept. 3, we concluded that the
billecox stuff was not worth the
link and decided to never mention
him again. The Sept. 10 issue
did not contain line or a word
iabout billecox and we think that
made him angry, hence the as
sault on Sept. IL. We know he
likes publicity but he will get
little free stuff in this sheet here
after aS he isn't worth TIE ink it
takes to print it. We have be.
fore US copy of the affidavit of
George H Hollenburg, issued in
October 1896, accusing Cox of a
penitentiary offense andon which
Virgil Greene declared he would
send biilecoX to the pen if he was
elected; billecox swore he would
send the maker to the pen il he
was elected. Cox was elected
but no case against the maker
was ever brought up. After "a
Years the affidavit still stands and
