ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Lynch
Tho article published in the Lynch Journal last wtsok charging V. H.
Wostovor, our ditiict judge, with being drunk and toforring you to Hutto
people for proof was a untruthful as the putties nro dishonest who had any
thing to do with Retting it up. It was evidently a Fisher sohomo.
W. T. Wills was closeted with Mclrarlnnd aevcral hours tho dav previous
to publication day -and Wills and 1-ishcr assisted at the O'Neill Frontier office
in getting out an extra edition of a thousand copies of that papor with the ar
ticle copied from the Journal. After that Wills went to Rushvillc Mr. West
over's home where he called it both newspnper offices and declared tho state
ment to be a lie.
The publication of the article referred to has made many republican votes
for Mr. Westovcr, especially in Butte, where you wero lef erred to for proof.
All honest and fair-minded men are thoroughly disgusted with such methods
and it is well they should be. Some one will have to answer for this in the
near future without doubt.
Below will be found affidavits from various prominent men mostly all of
whom are republicans:
Butte, Neb., Oct. 22, 1003. To whom It may coueorn: I do hereby certify
that owing to n request mudc of mo by one of the presiding elders of Northwest
Nebraska Conference M. E. church, I made a careful investigation of tho rumor
thnt had been sot uiloat concerning the character, of Judgu Westover and es
pecially concerning the report that he went on a drunk the last day of his term
of court in Butte. I am glad to report after consulting republicans and those
who would naturally bo opposed to Judge Westovcr politically, I could find no
foundation for the report, but on tho other hand all agree In denouncing It a
nolitlcal He. This investigation was carried on not for rinlitlcal purposes but
because of Judge Westover's standing In the M, 13. church, und especially as he
Is a delegate to the general conference of our church. Truly yours,
O. F. Mkat), Pastor M. E. church, Butte, Nob.
State of Nebraska, ( Afiiint further says that during all of
Boyd county, 1 ss said term ef court he boarded at the
l'eter Anderson being duly sworn div Hotol Oxford in Butte, and that Judge
poses and says that ho bus been sheriff Westovcr boarded at tho same hotel,
of Boyd county for nearly two years That he saw the Judge every day at
last past. That he Is well acquainted meal times and was in his companv
with Judge Westbver and saw him nearly every evening and espacirtlly
every day during the last term of court, on the evening that court adjourned. I
That the statement published in the wus with the Judge on tho sidewalk In
newspapers that the Jvidge was drunk front of the hotel in company of several
on the last day of said term Is false. others until the carriage was driven up
Pktkk Anukhson. in which ho and others drove up Bone

G. S. Wright being first duly sworn
deposes and says that for nearly two
years he has been deputy sheriff of
Boyd county, and as such has attended
the various'terms of court. That he is
well acquainted with Judge Westovcr
and saw him many times each day and
evening durpig lust session of court,
and that no time during said term or
if tor court was adjourned until he left
Butte, was said Westover drunk or
under tho inilncnee of liquor. I believe
the report that such was tho case to be
wholly untrue and to have been made
for political purposes. G. S. WniOHT.

O. F. Brown belnfj first duly sworn
desposes and says, that for nearly four
years last past he has been county
treasurer of Boyd county, that ho Is ac
quainted with Allen (1. Fisher, repub
lican candidate for district judge of
this district. That early In October of
this year he met said Fisher in an of
fice in Butte and had a conversation
-with him. That during said conversa
tion said Fisher made the statement
that Judge Westover was drunk in
Butte on the last day of the last term
of court In this county after court
adjourned. I then and there told him
that the statement was false.
The lie is nailed, and further evidence of Fisher's and Wills' contemptible
efforts to injure the good character bf Judge Westover is not necessary. In the
last ditch of dispair, these men cry out in utter falsehood accusations which re
act under the scorching affidavits of honorable men and worthy citizens of the
Fifteenth judicial district. Let the voters decide as to the characters of the ac
cused and his accusers.
