Judge . Westover Called.
Us Up.
- -
Last Friday near the close of i .
district court Judge Westover
called the editor to the stand to
explain the editorial entitled
.
'District Court" on Dec. 16.
We print below a copy of his
letter , in response : to which we
wrote up an explanation and sub-
mitted it to the court and -which
he : required us to read in coqrfc.
l
Judge Westover didn't appear
very willing to receive our ex-
. planation as to our not referring
tp him nor intending to criticise
him and after considerable - ques- !
tioning in addition .to our offered
article of about 20 pages , asked if
we would be willing to publish a
statement this week , saying that
we didn't mean him."T e'\.e told
it'elsewhere in this paper. We
offered to print the whole twenty
pages if he wished it but he didn't.
; 3. Di Scott was there to take
down in short hand and took the
whole proceeding . and the / full ex ' "
planation. Here's Judge West-
over's letter :
,
Mr. 1. / ill. Rice , .
Editor Valentine Democrat ? ,
Valentine , Nebraska. ' '
Dear Sir :
. Have just received your ; paper
. '
published this rweeT : in which ' you
have an . editorial making grave :
and serious charges concerning
the district court I observe that
you either purposely or inadvert
ently fail to make any sbecific
harge in your editorial against
any officer , but the general tenor
and purport oi the article is to
bring Discredit , and to reflect . up
on the court and all of its officers ,
and is evidently written for the I
of in wa T " ,
purpose some way attempt
ing to affect the action of the dis-
trict ; court in the discharge of
some duty that will come before it
the ; coming week. , Now in order
to ; give you an opportunty to make
all necessary preparations as . to . :
' iacts and proof , I want to'n'otify . :
yo a by this letter that J will ex-
pect you to appear before the dis '
trict court on some day next week
to explain this editorial. If. con -
ditions in any department of that
court are as you would h.av'e peo-
ple believe from this , editorial * , . l ; I : I
' *
i- '
must know , the.facts. And if , any- ,
thing needs correction , I . atp ,
charged with the duty of seeing '
that it is corrected. Now , I -wip 1 l. I
expect that you be prepared to
furnish ; me the information upon
which you ha\e based this editor-
ial , and that you will furnish it to
me publically in the , district ' room
in the presence of everyone con-
cerned or interested. ' ,
. . .
Yours truly ,
.
W. ! WESTOVER. .

Found Dead.
; ; Ernest Runs With , a Sioux In-
dian , was found dead at the / second
crossing of the railroad east of
the ; depot Tuesday about 2 o'clock.
He was frozen stiff and had
bruises about the head and limbs
and his clothing bore evidence of
having probably been struck by
the passenger train which came in
: frQm the east last night , or the
one arriving ' 1 at three o'clock Tues-
. day morning :
. . . . ' , " When . found he was lying . near
.he ' track in the..snow and evident-
l.v was instantly killed. \ His pants
were pushed up toward his'knees
and his legs bare from his' knees
dowu to shoes. An overshoe was
on the right foot and a .moccasin i
only on the left. Looked like he
had been dragged . few feet or
pushed along the ground . . . feet
oremoat. : .
Ernest ; Euns With and his wife
came down , from Kilgore Monday
and spent the day shopping in
t own. Towards . \ ' ning Ernest
elea.around some with another
Indian whom he" knew and they
took several drinks together. His
wife was getting her things ready
for the 7:30 : train and upon cora-
I
ing back to the hotel learned that
he had gone , and as.she was unable
to find him , and thinking he had
tnken some train out of town , she
went on the early . evening train to
Kilgore. Reaching there she tele-
.
phoned back for him "and came '
down Tue'sday morning when she
learned no one bad-seen him and
began a search which resulted in
finding him as above stated by one
of . ' thfc section men.
-
-It is supposed that he may have
become blinded' } by the snowstorm
and failed to see the train ap
proaching or that he was trying
to get aboard while the train was
. .
moving.
,
Joha Hittle , one of the old pio- ,
neers ; of Cherry county , called I I
Monday while in town to extend :
his subscription another year in !
advance to THE DEMOCRAT. He :
came . here - from Nodaway county , .
Missouri , years ago and is along :
in years but looks stout and .
lealtby and faces the cold as well
as the young men. J. W. Huff ,
formerly , of Keatsville , Mo. , and
Wai Hamar were also in town and
dropped in with Mr. Hittle to say
hello. Wai told us how he was
learning to milk and fool the cow ,
into believing' he was a calf these
.
cold days. ,
