The li bollons article Is as follows : "Mr. Rosewater makes a piteous ap peal to the old soldiers , and It tradition 1 truthful this Is not the first tlmo ho hai sued for moroy. The other tlmo wn when Grant's army overtook the llttli confederate spy ami talked of strln lnj him up. The fright received there nudi a fljpubllcan of him , but ho Is a spy urn traitor IIOTT , and always has been and nl ways will bo. The old soldiers will bi merciful now as then , and permit him t < live , oven as the snakes live , dosplsod hj everybody. " The ubovo is a reprint of an artlcli which originally appeared In the St. Paul ( Nob. ) Phonograph ) then owned bj Glenn Kendall and his brother. Whet this libel was first published by the Republican publican on the 20th of December , 1882 , a complaint was oworn out before Judge Bonoko by Mr. Rosewater against Cas per E. Yost and Fred Nye. Tnoy both walvod examination and were bound over to the , dirtrict court. The grand jury which convened in the following February Indicted both of them but before the Indictment had been filed by the district attorney , the jury was tam pered with , the vote by which the in- dlctmont had been found was reconsid ered under aomo pretext , and when the vote was taken again , the grand jury stood cloven for indictment and five igalnst. As It lakes twelve votes to jud a trno bill , the indictment was not returned. The suit for civil damages has jaon pending In the district court for moro than two years aud has boon post poned from tlmo to time. In many respects this is a most ro- narkabla cato , The publishers of the Republican aggravated the libel by republishing - publishing ft In the Weekly Republican after the arrest of Yost and Nye , and the answer filed by their attorneys , Thurston and Hall is libelous in Itself. They deny that the plaintiff over had any character or reputation , either bcforo or since this suit , and assort that the charges con- allied In the article wltn regard to hia ecord as a rebel spy were generally be loved by the public and the motive in giving publicity was to oxposa an impon- or.
