Ed. Jours al:
There have been cliarges niade of late
iu the Sioux County Republican anil
Herald against a certain man or lawyer
for selling- out his client for i00, and as
no names are mentioned, 1, as well u.s
others, take it to mean tliat I am tlie
jierson tliat was sold out and Sir. Geo,
Walker the man tliat did the selling-; in
the last year's commissioner contest. i
now wish to state the case through
your paper as it appears in my mind, to
those who are not already familiar with
it without fear or favor. I was tha
unanimous choice as candidate for
county commissioner, without solicita
tion, ol both the republican and demo
cratic convention, and the people of tin;
first district which district I was to lep
reseut almost unanimously voted for
rue, for which kind consideration 1 here
and now express my obligations, and had
1 received the oltice to wiiich 1 was hon
estly elected, 1 assure them their confi
dence would not have len misplaced:
but there w ere certain men who cared
more lor "boodle" than the welfare of
Hioux county, wlio feared tliat their
"game would be played" if a man should
get on the board who would look to the
people's interest. Taking that into con
sideration, and not having been endors
ed by the Wyoming- cattle association,
whose pliant tools they liave ever been,
they made up their minds to defeat me,
fair or foul, if an opportunity presented
itself, tlie same us they liad done before.
Tliat opportunity came through the elec
tion boam in Montrose precinct tailing,
through mistake, to protierlv sign the
poll books as they should have been
ued. 1 was in Harrison the day the
votes were canvassed, and when it was
found tliat such was the case, the clerk
asked the county attorney, Mr, Satterlee,
wliat tliey should do with them, ami .lie
said they could not be counted. Judge
Kuikaid writes me that they could have
been legiilly counted. The next morn
ing I requested Mr. Griswold, one of the
canvassing board, to not close the. re
turns and that I would to to Montr-s
ind get the election boa'.il, for a case in
the eleventh volume, Nebraska Rejiorts
age I have not at hand,) savs if an elec
tion boanl fails to 1 ill out the books
properly, it can do so any time, or words
to that effect. Mr. Geo. Walker after
ward requested the County Clerk to
wait, but that gentleman refused. Mr.
Walker went to Chadron for aih ce, and
next dav when I came to town with the
election board I found the returns closed,
the County Clerk, Judge and attorney
had left for Chadron, and all there Was
left for me to do was to lake the election
board home again. By the urgent re
quest of the people in tlie valley, I com
menced the contest in due time and form
and tiled papers in the judges office as re
quired by law, with Geo, Walker as mv
attorney: but the dav the trial was to
ome off, it was found that the sheriff
lmd served notice on mv opponent on
Suuday and also brought copy of com-
laint home with lum that should have
leen left at defendant's place.. Mr. Wes-
tover, attorney for my opponent, filed a
motion to quash the suit on insufficiency
of service, but Mr. Hunter overruled
that motion and decided the case open
for trial: but on nonappearance of Don.
weir, or his attorney s, tin judire de
nied the case lost bv default. I after
ward inquired of Mr. Hunter outside his
office w hether he liad issued judgment
of ouster against Don M. Weir, ami he
told nie he liad reconsidered his decision
and had ordered new service on Don M,
Weir. At the second trial Mr. Wralker
had engaged two attorneys from Chad
ron to assist him; Mr Walker being ruled
out on the claim of not being an admit
ed attorney. It was held that Hunter's
Court was a court of record, and we be
lieve it(?) ,Mr, Westover made a motion
to dismiss the case as there had been no
motion tiled at the f.rst trial to continue
the case, and Hunter sustained that mo
tion, when in my mind he continued the
ease himself, as be told me that he :.ad
ordered new service on boii V, r KIT. I
not in town1 when the trial came off, bn1
arnveu in town to see a crowd of cow

the street into a beer saloon, the court
ana county Attorney following in the
ear. Ana such hilarity: it surely was
a clay ol rejoicing white some lionora-
oie people lelt ashamed as thev witnessed
the humiliating spectacle. 1 then, on
tlie novice ot ityingfon & Wilgockie, ai
iv juuj;c niiwaiu ior a writ ot man
damus, these gentlemen agreeing to get
it for K5. Geo Walker rmwivml fl,,.
oispatcnes in succession that said writ
was aiiowea, the last one of all calling
fop expense money. There must have
been a mistake as rio writ ever came, but
instead new papers came to be filled out
again, (he attorney's claiming u.xr h.wi
made a mistake Then Mr w.,u,..
went to Cliadron- himself.-
as iti attorney, and introduced the case
in the district court and an alternate
writ was granted. The County Clerk
had to go before iudc-e Ki nlj-lliil find

came 1hat Kinkaid had refused to giiuil
the writ, in the presence of two witness

ker had done the straight thing; tliat he
bad acted honestly right through. He
said Walker had not enough exjierien.-e
in such cases. Judge Hunter also told

Ed. Journal:
Tlmt anatomical snecimeii in-eserved
in "spirits," who presides as County
Judge; edits and owns the sheet conceiv
ed in sin and bora in iniquity, called lie
Sioux Co, Republican; is agitated again.
and like a bird is befouling- his own nest.
Hunter says that he lias made a mistake
in saying tliat the case was State vs
Walker.butinsteadtlieca.se isLu.sk vs
Walker. Again I say you speak falsely,
and that you are devoid of truth: you
have not got a case Lusk vs Walker on
your docket. Let Satterlee look at it he
may be able to help vou make out what
it is.
You further fur that if Walker i
obliged to go out of his own ciinty am!
call upon two disreputable bliu-kiuailei-s
of Dawes county to assist to blacken and
destroy the good name of Sioux county
and its jieople, the case must lx? very
deserate indeed. Poor Judge, do you
think it necessary to go outside of the
cob ity? You pjead guilty to presenting
accounts twice, swearing to them twice
and having them mid twice, and still
you say tliat I am going outside to get
evidence to destroy the good name of
Sioux county and its people, 1 am not
doing anything of the kind. You are
the party that lias brought disgrace mj
on our good name abroad. At home we
know you So you think Mr. Hans Den
ker will not deny the slanderous false- j
hood about iwe? Please read bis letter
in another column.
