 In his speech at Naas. Collins charg- ed the opponents of the provisional Free State government with setting barriers against the onward march of the nation. He declared that Ramon Devalera had adopted methods of anarchy because the people of Ire- land were not willing to allow him to decide the treaty question for them.
 DeValera regarded this attitude of the people unforgivab1e sin and for it they were to be deprived of their right to choose a government.

). @. PFElFFER WRITES
RELATIVE TO CHARGES
MADE lN'POST ARTICLE

Who gave the Post the information
with reference to the stolen papers in
the bank crash at Chappell, Nebraska
Will he come out in the paper and have
his name published so that all who
read may know? l believe that
know who it was and / also believe l
will get his name but would like to
have him admit the fact.
Allow me to ask few questions.
Was the wonder Girl" asked who
planted the papers? If so, did she tell
who it was? This is the important
thing-not, where found but who
planted the papers.
Were the records asked about
found? If not, and the Wonder Girl
can tell where they are, why not have
the Posts informant look further for
the papers? II he wishes to accom-
plish something, why not do more and
talk less? If the Wonder Girl told
anything, why was the note written I?
Did she write the note? After fail
ure to find the papers, upon direction
by the girl, who wrote the note? Why
have so much misery about this?
Did the same person who gave the
Post the information which seeks to
malign the former bankers. more es-
pecially, Mr.. Wertz the President of
the bank; tell all he knew about the
papers found? Did he tell the Post
that the papers found in the chicken
coop were worthless? Did he tell the
Post that many people in Chappell be-
lieve the finding Of these papers was
a frame-up on the men who were for
merly connected with the bank; that
great many people in Chappell be-
lieve all this has been done to draw the
fire from the actual target.
Did this unknown informant tell the
Post that the government on its own
motion passed the cases referred to
at North Platte on June 18th.
Did this informant tell the Post that
Mr.. Chapman, the receiver, has spent
most of his time at Sidney, Nebr., and
not at Chappell, and that Mr.. Price,
assistant receiver, who was left in
charge at Chappell by officials has al
so moved to Sidney and that these two
are now seeking to build up private
business at Sidney; that Mr.. Harry
Wilson is now in charge at Chappell
and that he has not melted any cen
sure or stirred up any row that we
know Of.
Did this informant tell the Post tina t
vast amount of securities have been
voluntarily submitted by the men
whom he says have been accused and
that these securities have been ac-
cepted by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency at Washington with a view of
saving this bank and saving avery de-
positor and that the receiver, Chap
man and assistant receiver Price,
were parties to this transaction; that
these securities were submitted and
accepted before the men were indict-
ed? Did this informant tell the Post
that both this receiver and his assist
ant had represented to the officials of
the defunct bank, to the men who gave
this security that without doubt the
department Of justice would overlook
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-07-06

any technical violation of the law,
which might result in the loss of a
very small amount of money compar-
ed to the amount of the security Civ
en- in view of the fact that so much Sc
curity has been given? These are
facts. These representations were
made and had the Department of JUS
tice been informed that these secur-
tiles had been given it is quite likely
that charges would not have been pre-
ferred. The security given to the de-
positors and accepted by the Comp
troller was such generous, voluntary
pledge of good faith, going to the sub
stance of the whole matter, that we
believe if the Department of Justice
had known the facts great deal of
trouble and annoyance would have
been saved the bank officials at Chap
pell. These being the facts, read that
article in the Post again and see why
we say that some one seeks to ma
lign these bank officials, more es-
pecially Mr.. Wertz, and see why we
want to know who is the Posts in
formant.
Had this matter been placed before
the Department of Justice at Wash
ington, as was promised these men
at Chappell, it is likely that great
deal of money and trouble would have
been saved the men concerned and the
public at large. No, this matter was
placed before the Comptroller Of the
Currency and that is as far as it
went. Why are men, little two-by-
nine fellows. so anxious to malign
70 kIo
Posts informant and to all others
whom the shoe may fit. They do not
adequately represent the government.
The United States govt has quail
ity and dignity and real officials want
to always represent real principles. If
some of its representatives or some
representative does not know what
this means it would be to the best in
terests of all that they OF he resign.
Now, about the way the people of
Chappell feel with reference to this
bank failure and the arrests that
have been made. Allow me to say
that ! do not know Of single indi-
vidual who does not want justice in
all of these matters. And there are
none in the town except one or two,
who wish an attempt be made to dis
credit worthy man. Many people in
Chappell believe that facts have been
distorted and that through malice,
these unwarranted attacks have been
made. Let the Posts informant be
made known to the people so that fair
play may be had in all things.
If any of the cases referred to in
the Post are ever tried the pul,lic nav
have all of the evidence and if this
articles is saved and compared with
the evidence, as we believe it will be
adduced, the public will then say that
in all justice, in all fairness; that in
the spirit of desiring law and order;
that with firm principle involved and
adhered to; that wrong doers should
be punished and just men be vindicat-
ed; this article has been submitted.

Following the drawing large num-
ber of persons went to the fairgrounds
where ball game was played between
the Brule, Nebr. and Julesburg teams,
the game resulting in victory for
Brule. the score being 1S to IL. The
ball game was free, the same as the
other attractions.
At five O'Clock a strange looking
pair bolted through the rope used to
prevent cars passing through at the
intersection Of First and Cedar streets.
They were in an old dilapidated Ford
car and quite little excitement was
created when officers Cunningham
and Stone attempted to arrest them,
a free-for-all fight ensuing between
the four. The joy-riders were es-
corted up the street to the house which
had been erected on the vacant lot
east across the street from the Hipp
theatre, being followed by the crowd.
Upon arriving at the house the pair
entered, and soon afterward a blaze
was noted inside, followed by the
cries of fire. The fire alarm was
turned in over special telephone
which had been erected through the
courtesy of Manager Gilliland Of The
Mountain States Telephone Co.
By the time the shrill blasts of the
fire whistle was sounded, the build
ing was in a mass Of flames, and
real fire was in progress, the dense
smoke rising in the air and a real
thrill given the people, who were
cautioned to stay back out of the way
of the fire department. The fire
boys came running up the street with
the hose carts and in record time had
two streams of hose playing on the
conflagration. It was but a short
time until the flames were extinguish-
ed and portion of the building saved.
The above attraction was put on as
substitute for the balloon ascension
which was unavoidably cancelled at
the last minute and too late to secure
another. The celebration committee
were sorely disappointed when they re-
ceived message at eleven o'clock the
day before stating that Air-Devil Jack
Towers had met with an accident with
his balloon and that it would be i'm
possible for him to get here and ap-
pear ~ had been schednled. The
firemen determined that they would
use their best efforts to substitute un-
der the unfortunate circumstances,
and went to work Immediately on the
fire attraction. Much credit is due
