, DELIBERATE MiSREpRESEN,
TATION

The Sioux Falls Press Of last Fri
day carried as a leading EDITORIAL
an article column in length.
headed The Mintener Case and
dwells at length upon this and
other findings Of the grand iur3
in Pennington county. which mace
it, report a couple Of weeks ago.
We quote from the editorial il
question;
The following quotation (sec-
ton y is taken from the recent
report Of the Pennington county
grand jury:
u. That evidence has been re-
ceived showing that one Benz. y
Mintcner. the former states attor-
ney, collected certain sums Of mo-
ney from the sale Of certain coun-
ty property following foreclosure
proceedings. such sums amount
ing to S230,000. and were by him
held for period Of more than one
year prior 10 having been turned
over only upon formal demand
being made therefor: that the Law,
requires such funds to be account.
ed for and turned over 10 tha
county treasurer within ten DAYS
after the RECEIPT thereof. and TO-
the neglect Of so paying over ANY
money so received makes him ia
4 be to a fine Of not less than fifty
4 dollars nor more than two hundred
i dollars. The jury condemns such
/ practice on the part OF any public
4 official. and recommends that pro
per steps be taken for the collec-
tion Of such fine against said Benz
D. Mintener. the eXact amount
+ thereof to be determined by the
/ court.
4 We have seen a copy Of the re
I port of the grand Jury The above
/ quotation is substanl tally correct
with the cxpection that the sum
Of money claimed to have been
4 withheld by Mintener was $3.50 in
stead Of S230.0O0 No such sum as
S230,000 Of the county $ money was
ever in the hands Of the states al
torney of Pennington county, ant
4 Mr.. O'Learv knew It He admit,
as much when he states in his
article that the figures were takcl
from the Deadwood Pioneer Time.
while the news items sent out ano
printed by other papers gave tn,
amount as $3.50.
Had Mr.. OLeary wanted to BE-
fair and if his paper is as impor
tant as he would make us believe
the price Of a telegram to the cierl
of courts at Rapid City would
have set him right But he knew
in that case his editorial would go
to the waste basket and al
opportunity be lost for another
lab at the present state admins
tration, because Mintener is at tn
present time assistant attorney
general, and of course OLcary L
is of the opinion that the entire
administration, and particulars
Governor McMaster is responsible
for his appointment.
i This is only sample of the dc
liberate misrepresentation anc
ridiculous charges being made b,
Mr.. OLeary, editor Of the Pres.
in his efforts to discredit Governoi
McMaster and further the Interest,"
of Egan. We have watched The
columns of the Press for correc-
ton of the above but at the time
this was written it had not ap
peared We wonder if it will.

That is, hogs don't. They take a
paper and read it until at least
