SAYS TIMES EDITOR IS
SELFCONFESSED PERJURER
(Continued on page 5)
Alliance News, in looking over the
Box Butte county records in the
county clerk's ofllce, on Monday of
this week, April 24, found that there
were two mortgages on record
against the Alliance Times and said
Ben J. Sallows, owner and proprie
tor. On June 25, 1915, a mortgage
in favor of Barnhart Brothers &
Splndler, Omaha, Nebr., for S192.
had been filed. This was not of so
much consequence as it was for a
comparatively small amount and has
probably been mostly paid off in
monthly Installments, but on further
investigation Mr. Wallace discovered
that on February 7, 1016, this year,
Mr. Sallows had given a mortgage
for 12,500 to H. A. Dubuque of Alli
ance. Now, the honorable editor of
the Times might have forgotten the
smaller mortgage, only $192, but if
he was so forgetful in making out his
semi-annual sworn statement as to
entirely pass up the $2,500 mortgage
he certainly is in such a frame of
mind that he should not be entrusted
with the destinies of the journal
which he now is, according to his
sworn statement, "publisher, editor,
managing editor, and business i.. im
ager". In plain words, I can but conclude,
from the evidence, that Mr. Sallows
deliberately committed perjury and
jeopardized the right of his pap. r lojonsible. A liberal patronage is so

Within a very snort time after Mr.

through friends, learned that he ha

In an extremely lame and 111 timed
attempt to explain the matter and
perhaps to forestall the truth of the
matter, which he knew would come
out sooner or later, Mr. Sallows pub
lished the following editorial In the
Times of the same date:
"In another column of the paper
will be found a corrected statement
of the ownership and mortgage hold
ers of the Alliance Times. Through
an oversight the former report was
incorrect and since the mistake has
been caled to the attention of the

the proper affidavit has been sent to

last Friday evening, in compliment
to her sister-in-law, Mrs. J. W. Light.
The event was in celebration of the
honored one's birthday. About
eighteen guests were in attendance.
The hours were spent with merry
steps to music, and refreshments
added to the social evening.
About fifty were in attendance at
the party held In the Methodist
church parlors last Friday, and the
Big Brothers proved themselves ideal
hosts. Easter games, and other
amusements sped the time, and re
freshments were delicious and boun
tiful. The young ladies report an
exceptionally fine time, and of course
knew the boys could do it.
The annual ball given by the
Knights of Columbus last Monday
evening was enjoyed by about two
hundred people, and the hours truly
enjoyed. Music was furnished under
the directorship of Mrs. Wiker and
could not have been improved upon.
Tunch was served, and the party
counted a success from every stand
point. The members of the choir of the
Christian church have planned for a
pleasant evening at the home of Mrs.
Fred Campbell, on Friday night,- In
honor of the director, John Havllk,
and others who assisted In the fine
musical program given last Sunday
evening. In planning this event, the
the help so freely donated, and take
hosts extend hearty appreciation for
this opportunity of showing It. Re
freshments will be served, and a Jolly
good time Is anticipated.
Next week Friday and Saturday,
May 5 and 6. the ladles of the Chris
tian church are to hold a bazaar in
the Reddish hall, and will serve
lunches on the cafeteria plan during
the two days. In connection with this
event they also will sell articles In a
variety of kinds and for different
uses, which have been kindly donat
ed by wholesale firms with whom lo
cal merchants deal. These articles
arc first-class and will ne sold reas-
licited.
