A Few Things Concerning Some Nebraska
People. a &
1 perhaps owe my renders an apology:
for devoting a good deal of the spice in
this issue to sone of my personalenemies,
| but as self-preservation is the first law of
| nature, I am not going ta sit with sealed.
| 1ips and offer no defense when Tam:-un-,
justly assailed; especially :when a gang
composed largely of thieves, fornicators,
deadbeats and rascals in general carry
the warfare into my. own territory, as
they did last week by sending anmerous
sample copies of tiie Carleton Reporter |
to this city, the said paper ‘containing a
very much ungalled- for assault upon me.
By way of explanation, to show how
the trouble originated and to prove to
you that I have bean forced into this un:
pleasantness and sm acting only on the
defensive, I will state all the facts in the
case, which are as follows: >
When [ abandoned the newspaper bus:
ness in Carleton, Neb, many of the lead-
ing newspapers of the state expressed
their regret. as did also numerous promi-
nent citizens of the county in which I re:
sided. As a matter of course, I received
many fine compliments from the NEWSPA--
-pers stud people of Nebraska, and when
I esgablished Tre STAR, in its first issue
JX reproduced many of those compliments
in order to show that my Nebraska paper
hada high standing in the raral journal:
istic fleld, and to give the people here
some idea of what they might expect in
THE STAR.
Well, when the first | issue of my new
paper abpeared, ft seemed to sorely vex
a small-souled ;individual out in Carleton
to see that the fate ‘Carléton Times was
80 highly complimented by so many
prominent newspapers and prominent
“L peonle, and as many of the said papers
and people eansured Carleton for allow-
ing such a paper as The Times: was to |
leave tlie town, W. C. Bates, the’ small:
sonled individual referred to. “at once at:
| tacked. we through the -columiis of ‘the
Carleton Reporter, having as an’ excuse
for his action that I assailed: ‘Carleton’ in
my first issue of THE BTAR and my Tast
issue of The Timesq: Now... I want ft On-
| de stood ¢ that I never assailed: Carlewn at |
all, forin my valedictory in The Times 1
1 bid ‘Carleton a God speed and stated that
the only reason I wanted to leave the |
town was. because the town is vo small}
io properly support as large a newspaper
as The Times was and that I: could do
better elsewhere. And 80 fur as thefirst |
fasue of TaE STAR. is concerned; I will
state that I did not say an unkind word
in jt concerning Carleton, as.all our réad:
q ers well know. I.will: admit that’ some’
of the testimonials I published roasted’
| that town in pretty good shape, but I am
not responsible for the opinions of others,
especially when. other people express
their opinions over their own signatures.
But when a man seeks a quarrel he.
| ean always get one up, no matier wheth-
er he has a cause for it or not, and W. C..
Bates is not an exception to the rule.
He assailed me unjustly through the col-
umns of the Reporter, and when I struck
back, some of the off-scourings of Carle-
ton and vicinity saw that he needed help
and they came to his assistance. They
therefore go to work and publish a leiter
inthe Reporter and reiterate what Bites
to say and dec!
Mr. ‘Bates is]
one of the signers of the letter and who
is a notary public, goes before himself
und states in a sort of affidavit form that
he knows all the signers, including him-
self, to be honorable and trustworthy cit-
izens and that quite a number of them
were of my best patrons. His own sig-
nature and official seal is then placed to
the document, to make the thing look
terrifying, and in print it thus absurdly
appears. Think of it, readers, a notary
public going before himself~to make affi-
davit to a thing! That alone shows. up
Long's mental calibre, and some of the
other showing up 1 will attend to myself.
We will now give you a list of the
names of the defenders of Mr. Bates and
then.make a few comments on the same.
Here is the list:
J. B.. Whipkey, H. M. Lichty, W. W.
Lichty, Dr. Manary, R. W. Quockenbush,
J. H. Garey, W. J. Long, A. R. Speicher,
8. W. Chambers. ‘R. O. Lawrie, J. W.
Miller, J. B. Walker, Louis Eppers, E. E.
Peck, John Brandnu, Gustave Priefert,
Wm. Rachow, John Wymer, M. F. Hall,
G. W. Tyler; F. Sissel, Robt. Walker, T.
1'C. Wright, James Hartley, P. A. Miller,
W. C. Clark, Wm, Wager, C. J. Welch,
L: K. Rollier, J. W. Baker, 8. H. Phillips,
L.A. Sweitzer, W. B. Kirk, Geo. W.
Wright, A. L. Beavers, E. E, Lichty.
Now who are these men, if they can
be'callen men? Well, T will introdice
vou to all of them that I know, but I
hardly think vou will want a very ex.
tended acquaintance with the most of
them. Now take off your hats and bow |
as we introduce them one by one,

most hated men in Carleton.
W. W. Lichty is the man who used 10
run a speak: easy in commection with his
drug store, and beeause I published an
account of the sheriff raking him in and
taking him to Hebron, where he paid a
good, big fine to keep himself out. of jail,
is the reason he is against me. Write to
ex-Judge Goodhue, of Hebron, Neb., and
learn how he almost got down ow his
‘kneds and begged. to bb kept out of jail,
where lie ought to be now, r :
‘Dr. Manary is the man who reported
John Spurling, a stout, able-bodied, sin-
gle young nian; to the county. commission-
ers as & dependent and drew. money. from
the county for treating him when he was
sick: "He did this after having uiready
been well’ ‘paid for his services by gob-
gling some’ Personal property that be-

R. W. Quockenbush is too insignificant
to notice at much length. “All he needs

the hogs and sold the people of Carleton

a sensation in that’ town. There is also
a chloroform story vat on Mr. Garey. ;
Years sgo: assailed me: through the esl

whe I went to. him ‘anc told him, to |

AR Shelcher always seemed to be un
easy- going- sort of a fellow, one easily
swayed almost any way by Whipkey and
-Lichty, whom he is probably undef ob-
ligations to. There is a little Iowa epi-

summer when he was sick I was kind:
enough to mow the grass and weeds about :
his house and hoe the weeds out of
potato patch.: He was very profuse
his thanks, of course, but as yet [ have
failed to get a solitary cent for the two
years subscription” he owed me for when
I left Carleton. .
R. O. Lawrie. J. W. Miller and J. B.
Walker are men living in the country
that I know but little about. i
Louis Eppers is another man that 3
know but little About, more than that he
is one of Bill Longs dupes. I remember
the condition his family was in when he
landed in Carleton, and that I gave hin
money to buy bread for his hungry ands
ragged children. 1 also made their
plorable condition known to the citizens
of Carleton, who kept the wolf from his
door that winter and helped him to get &
fresh start in life, I also saw him howl
ing drunk as soou as he began 10 prosper
which showed how worthy he was of the
people's clarity.
E. E. Peck and John Brandan live in
the country and I know but litle abou
them, only that neither of them can re;
nor write in the English "languge,
same can also be said of Gustave Priefer
who owes me to this day for a ‘sale
