A Little Light Dug Up by the Editor of the
Blooinlngton Echo and Republished (or
the Benellt of a Sympathizing
Community.
It luis always been, and wo suppose
always will bo a fact, thai a certain
number or class of people in overy
community will take tip with stranger
to tlio exclusion of their own people
who have been good citizens and who
have lived hero for lifted) or twenty
years They will even condemn these
cili.ous for intimating that there is
8nmotuiug wrong with theso strangers.
Take for instance the follow who for
two weeks made a pretense of preach
ing on our streets and while doing so
took occasion to villify tho mayor, the
city ofllcors and our townspeople in
general. On last Saturday afternoon
ho again directed his remarks at thu
above named ofllcials and this paper
for the few words it shot at hinrin
"Almost Forgotten. " If you Imvo read
the Ciiikk for lone you will tind that
our assertions have generally beeu
backed up by facts. For the beaelit of
skaptics and to show that wo were not
giving the follow the shots without
grounds we print the following taken
from the lHoomington, (Neb ) Echo of
Juno 8th, under tho heading "Capt.
Archer:"
Considerable comment has been
caused since tho last issue of the Echo
as to the true status of tho above named
gentleman. The Echo has no personal
tight on the man and what it does is
only what it would do to any other per
son who comes into our community
undcu the same circumstances. It is
true ho came here and claimed to be
long to the Volunteers of America,
showing what he claimed to be creden
tials from (Jen. t ieldicg. Tho follow
ing letter plainly shows that he was
not what he represented himstlf to be:
Omaha, Neb., June 4, 1000.

Sovoral peoplo have doubted our
statement made in last week's Echo,
which denounced him at a fake. Tho
following letters which were written
without any solicitation on our part,
are enough to make any fair-minded
person think something is wrong:
llKi'tlUMCAN Citv, May 110, 1800.
Miss Mahsh: Your letter received
the 20th. Will say in answer wo know
by experience more than we euro to
know of Capt. Archer. Will warn you
of keeping his company or any other
young lady who has any respect for
themselves. He didn't prove himself
to be a true Christian; his uncle said
ho wasn't worthy of respect or confi
dence. 1 nm glad you wrote me for
my opinion of him; please keep out of
his company.
Yours with respect, may (Sod bless
I you is my prayer,

than fair to tho peoplo of that place
that wo expose him still farther. Since

received from Jacksonville, III., and
the clipping following it was taken
from tho Journal of that place of tho
dato of Oct. SO, 1898:
Jacksonvii.mc, III., Juno 12, 1000.
Mr. H. M. Crane, liloomington, Neb
raska: Dear Sir: As I was at Jack
sonville on a furlough resting, I re
reived your letter of inquiry, also the
Kcho. There is no Volunteers post
here now; was closed when Capt. Ar

"Saturday night the mother of a 11
year old girl informed nlllcer Cannon
that the leader (if tho Volunteers had
; come to her dutighter uud after-prom
islng to buy tho child all sorts of fiuory
asked her to run away with him. The
mother didn't wnnt to get out a war
rant for lis nrrest but she askod Otllcor
Cannon to, interview tlio man. The
otllcor did so and at llrst the volunteer
denied all knowledge of the alTair, hut
later sent word that he would leave
town at once if nothing was (tone to
hinder his going. Olllcor Cannon, be
lieving a hypocrite will do 110 good in
tho community, ordered him to lose no
time in getting away"
He claimed when ho first came here
to bo out under control of Lawyer
Wolfonbarger doing temperance work,
but that gentleman in a letter to us
denies knowing anything about it. He
also said he was a single man aud was
trying to get young ladies to marry
him, while the letter from Illinois says
htf has a wife,
From what we have learned of tho
actions of the fraud in tho past wo are
convinced that tho propor way to treat
him whoreror he goos is to hurl bou
quets of hen fruit of uncertain vintage
at him.
