"Those Two Olrls."
Tho Indies of North Platto would
liko to say a 'word In reply to tho
article that appeared in tho Telegraph
Saturday evening in regards to mo
two girls who Judgo Grunt took to
his home. Wo admit tho Judgo hns a
big heart and this is not tho only good
deed ho has done; we would llko, how
ever, to say If these girls walked the
streets without breakfast, dinner or
siintif'r It was their own fault. Mrs
Lemon envo them money and their
meals as long as they would accept
them; Mrs. Peterson kept them nino
nights without pay and woul havo
kept them longer if they would havo
narNrmcd tho work offorcil thorn.
Mrs. J.Q. Wilcox called on them, paid
$2.50 for their grip that was hold for
their room rent, and offered to pro
vide for nil their needs till they could
securo work; Miss Krnmph and other
ladies called on them offer ing them
room and board. This is only a part of
what was done for theso two girls who
camo hero under a fnlso name.
In answer to the nbovo which np
ncared in this paper last Friday I
doslro to state. I had nothing to do
with tho writing, composition or pro
duction of tho article referred to by
thoso ladies In tho North Platto Tel
egraph, and was not connected In nny
wny with Its appearance and tho first
knowledge I had of tho Telegraph nr
ttclo was through Mrs. A. P. JColly sub
sequent to its appearance in that paper.
On tho 6th of this montii ono oi tneso
girls (Ruth) wns taken from our
county Jail, where Bhe had been con
fined for some dnys prior thereto, and
wns given a hearing boforo mo, In
which hearing theso Indies gave ev
idence tondinir to nrovo that this llttlo
girl was a lit subject to bo deprived of
her llborty and bo confined in a re
formatory until Inter released by duo
process of law. I can state, without
successful contradiction, tha ovldenco
offorcd in 'that hearing seeking for a
conviction or grounds of commitment
was tho blgcst farce that was ,ovor con
ducted in a court of Justice
I reserved my decision in tho dis
missal of theso procedlngs that even
ing and took tho girls to tho homo
of one of theso ladles, and at this la
dy's request. The girls refusing tho
offer tendered them, I then wnntod
to take them to some other homo in
tho presonco of this lady, whloh thoy
declined. Having nothing left but tho
county Jail, I then, rind not Until then,
illd I tuko them to my home, where
they remained at my request, thinking
thoy might bo needed as wlnesnos
against certain citizens oi mis city,
who Insulted and even assaulted these
girls.
Yet not a word hns boon heard or a
move mado to bring theso human lcop
pardB to tlmo, but these two llttlo girls
must bo branded and held up to tho
public ridicule, because of what? For
committing tho unpardonablo sin of
not giving .their right namo.
