My Dear Sir:
It having been brought to my at
tention that the story is being cir
culated by some parties or this rep
resentatJve district, that in the post

port democratic tickets Mm) fusion

vole against you this fall: Now, for
Jhe purpose or stating the tacts,
permit me to say that I have been
intimately acquainted with you ami
your political acts for the last twen
ty live years, ami have known what
your political action lias been each
fail al our general elections, and I
want to say most emphatic ally, u i, I,
out fear of contradiction, that at
wvery election you, as wi II as your
targe family of boys, as soon as
the became old enough to vote,
have given unqualified support to
our fusion and democratic tickets,
national, state, and county. These
facts are so well known by demo
crats generally in this community
that I believe that each and every
one of them who is ml opposed to
you for personal reasons, would
give a certificate as I have done
to this letter. Very truly yours,
W II WKSTOVKR

FALSE PRETENSES
Waller Graham, colored, passed Bad
Check and Is Arrested
.A colored man by the name of Wal
ter (rraihaiu in tit to the storo cr J.
R. Denton Saturday niglit and pur
chased a pair of mittens valued at
forty cents. He tendered in payment
a piece of pner purported to be a
check for nine dollars, which he had
signed on the back Mr Denton did
not examine the paper closely and
gave the sum or eight dollars and
sixty cents in change
On being examined the paper was
found to le a crude attempt at. be
ing made into a note or check. Tie
IMC 10 had told Mr. Denton that he
was employed at the Drake Hotel,
and the paper had the MUM Dlftfct
on it with other names (!raliam had
signed his. name on the back before
presenting it.
After cadiliiK the check the negro
wvnt to 610 Third streeet where
sniiie colored people Ml living a lie I
demanded a gun, frightening the In
ates of the house, who phoned the
police station. Police Judge Gregory
Bum did not know the man but! w.-ni
toward the depot looking for him
and arrested him in company with
0IIM other negroew h the deKt.
Graham had been in trouble a few
nights before but gor off without be
ing , arrested. He had frightened
some women He Is now locked up
In the county jail awaiting a heariim.
It is doubtful ir a more .serious charge
tbM obtaining HtOOt under false
pretenses can be placed against him,
in whk'h event the sentence would
be from ten to thirty days in jail.
