THE AMERICAN WANT IT KEPT QUIET. Some More About John W. Honzi's Case. iK Manl the SUttcr Hushed l'p Hmiis Wi ltlju k a4 Itliiv at Hit Time f Hi m-ath. Last wet-lc we published an account. f of the assault oa John V. Hntiza bv Cba. Kosttrs in the fo'lowing Ian g-uage: Immediately ujxm the rnnouncen.t-nt or the death of John V. Honza, rumor of the niot-t startling nature were flying, and were Id nearly everybody's mou'h Mr. IJoiua was au old n trident of Omaha, with a larise eirelo of friend and when these rumors beeame common talk, swiiie of bis friend asked us to make an investigation and publish what we found to be the truth. The rumors, briefly stated, were that John Honza had been in a saloon on Fifteenth street, where he was assaulted by Charlie Kostera and Count John A. Creijjhton, two drunken, dissolute characters who have been in numerous i-crapcs before, and that the injuri. 8 he had received at their hands had been the primary cause of his death, al though the physician attending him assigned other causes. We started out immediately to gather testimony, and soon had suili cient to warrant us in saying that there was at least some ground for the rumors. We found a man who had been in Kd. Maurer's place in the forenoon of tlie day Honza was assaulted in the Fif teenth street disensaiy, who said Count Creighton, of the holy Konian church, and Charlie Kosters, of the same hellish institution, together with Bob Holmes and a county oflicial who was not elected by the A. 1 A., were in there drinking; that they became extremely boistrous, and used vile, ob scene language to designate the mem bers of the A. P. A., Orange Institute and kindred organizations. They finally left Maurer's place and started up the street. When they got to fifteenth they turned into Goodley Brucker's place, where they proceeded to bowl up and apply the most villain ous epithets to Protestants whom they suspected of boing members of the A. P. A. or in sympathy with that organ ization. Creighton, who has recently been made a count of the holy Roman em pire by the pope of Rome as is his custom when drunk and that is about all the time was extremely vicious in his utterances, while Kosters, who is a noted bully and all-around tough,stood ready to do the fighting. Finally they became personal in their remarks, and a young Swede who hap 1 pened to Vo in the saloon playing a game of high five took up what was said, and told Kosters that he was "nothing but a murderer," for which he was assaulted. Some of the witnesses say that Honza then made a remark about the coward Ice of a man who would strike as small a man as the Swede, and proceeded to stand up for the A. P. A. although not a member of the organization himself. It is said that Count Creighton de manded of Honza that he get down on his knees and beg their pardon fjr what he had said; but Honza having served his country in the late war, and carry ing scars and wounds inflicted by the enemy, had cot yet learned that the pope's subjects could cause the unwill ing hinges of his knees to bend to them. A second time he was ordered to get dorn on his knees and beg their pardon or they would knojk him down, but again he refused, and Kosters struck him :i vicious blow in the head. Another bunch of witnessas say that Houza, Creighton and Kosters were in a wine room, that Kosters knocked Honza across a table, and pounded him in the neck and on the body while he was down, while the count egged him on This much is true, Honza, Creighton and Kosters were in Brucker's, Kosters and Creighton wera drunk and quarrel some and were looking for trouble Kosters struck Honza, who took to his bed and died. Before death came to his relief he complained that his body hurt him, which would indicate that the testimony of the witnesses who claim the assault took place in the wine room and in the manner described is the most reliable. If Honza died from the effects of the assault made on him by Kosters it prob ably adds a second victim to the brutal instincts of that young tough, for in 1982 he narrowly escaped the hang man's noose for the murder of a bar tender named Hammer. Some of the old settlers say he escaped the scaffold simply because the main witnesses were run out of the country; but be that as it may he still lives and disgraces the es timable family of which he is a mem ber. It seems to us that it was the duly of the coroner, when rumors were rife, to hold an inquest over the body of John W. Honza, and decide whether or not Count Creighton and Charlie Kosters were responsible for his death. If Honza died from injuries inflicted by those two drunken ruffians, they should have been arrested, tried and convicted, and hanged by the neck until they were dead. Tht-y ai-d a disgraetj to this city, ar.d mhiie Count Creighton U probably the richest man in Oumht, he is at the same t'Unt one of tin? most v I -lo.il and depraved creature tloj ever placed the breath of life in. since writing the atve we have Uvn informed by a g. n lcnian thnt Kosters acknolc !g d 'o hiiu that he had struck Uouza: and another i'ne s told u that the "gang hid li -en running to him, asking him to ay nothing about the affair to even de ry that he saw a blow struct. Thet-e ivoints, taken In comuvlion with the statement male to us by Mr. Hot it's son that Lis father was, at the time tf his death, black and blue on Ira neck and chest, s -em to confirm the ugly rumors that were all.iat last week. The more we hear of this cuse the more we are convinced that it shou d have been investigated Ix fore Mr. Honza was laid awar. However it is not too late yet to exhume the b.xly and set these questions at rest. Injustice to Mr. Kosters and Mr. Creighton such action 8'iould be taken, and if there is no ground for all this talk let usexon erate them, ami if there is ground pun ish them the tame as other infractors of the law are punished. LX-(01MY Jl'IMiE HU M. Judge Scott Ilt'dries That He Shall (') Frccliller Interviewed. There has been an t Hurt, emanating from certain quarters, to injure the rep utation of Judge Filer ever siuce hi went out of office, as well as before. The motives for the persecution bva coming to be to well understood that it is not necersary to repeat them here There has been insinuations, inuendots and inU i views, published with regu larity, to the t fleet that ho had not ac counted for money, belonging to estates, which had come into his hands. The final calumniation was reached at the sitting of the late grand jury. Under the secrecy of that institution It seems that there was some kind of evidence which at least caused the grand jury t indict him, charging that he had con verted to his own use !)5 cents of the money of one Individual, $2 9.1 of an other, 30 cents of another and so on un til the total aggregate J $o3 51 Befoie the indictment was made pub lic and before any one outside of the grand jury and prosecuting attorney could lawfully know the coatents of the indictment, the daily newspapers her- aiuea tne news mat Juugo roller was indicted for embt-zzlemeut, and stated it in such a wiy as to create the im pression that something of great mag nitude had been shown. It is but just to say that not one of the persons named as the owners of the money alleged to have been converted, have ever claimed that the charges had any foundation.

I do not claim that there were no mistakes made during my adminis- tration; none of these people whose money they say I have converted have ever claimed anything wrong in the matter so far as 1 am aware of. While it is best and while I intended to have receipts on the dockets for money paid out, yet taking the receipt was often neglected when small amounts were involved. If any one imagines that any error has been made to his detri- ment, I will only be too glad to satisfy ,l, !,,!,.. r .1 him that he is mistasen, or, if there , , uui.il. has been an error, correct the same, and I will be glad to have any one call at my office at any time relating to such matters. These petty assaults shall not bother me. I shall go right along in the iaw practice just as though I had no persecutors, and let them alone in the future as I have done in the past.

At Porterville, Sunday afternoon Editor Lumley of the Enterprise, and Father Farrelly, Catholic priest of this city,camo to blows,and Father Farrelly got much the worotof the light, receiv ing a bloody nose and other bruises. Since the pope sent forth his edict that Catholics who belong to secret so cieties, Knights of I'ythlas, Odd Fel lows and Sons f Temperance, especi ally, should bo excommunicated if they did notsever theirconnectlon with such secret orders, trouble for Catholicism has been brewing in that otherwise peaceful little city. Editor Lumley of the Eitterpriiie, is an ardent believer in secret societies a-s an elementof g )od in the world that should not be placed undor the bin by any re ligious denomination. Consequently he was not spiring in his criticism of the pope's encyclical. Father Farrelly, of Visalia, who celebrated mass in I'oi- terville, w.is not pleased with the criti cism anu iook occassion to announce that fact about three w.joks airo in a ermon, in the following language as given by the Enlerprui: Here is an Hem from the pen of one of the blackest bigots on the face of the earth. Yoj no doubt have read it.as it is worthy of notice. I will comment but little on it. Its author, Mr. Lumley of this placa, who,until lately, has baon friend of mine and posing him-ielf to be a Catholic, has tnrned his back upon the church and opealy denounces the religion. i have some friends who belong to secret organizations such as Free Ma sons.etc., and who are editors of papers, who can write intelligently upon any subject, as they are men of brains, not as this brainless, shallow-minded, un principled editor of this article, who does not know which side his bread is buttered on. His craniu.n, which should have contained his brains, has nothing in it but garbage of the most polluted kind. He is a disreputable fel low of the A. P. A., and working for and doing all in his power to overthrow the Catholic religion and put forth his inl'.ience towards the building of that society a contemptible hyprcrite." Father Farrelly asserts that he made no such statement as the above and fur th( r denies having struck the first blow. Mr. Lumley denies being, either a C'a'holic or an A. P. A. Those who witnessed the meeting of the combatants state that after the priest had celebrated mass he walked down tne street past Lumley 's olliee. Lumley called to Father Farrelly and he went over, and trouble began. Fa ther Farrelly struck first missing Lum ley, but slriKing him on tno head tae second blow. Luuiicy struck the rev erend father between the eves and blood (lowed freely. Father Farrelly arrived in town Monday evening.
