In writing up the shooting affray that it was at first thought would cause the death of Harry Arrick, The Republican said: "He is* said to have been a very clever man and well ""(bought of in his home town.” The 100 per cent pure and undeflled editor of the Jasper County Democrat takes exception to our remark of praise and says that it does not believe that the good people of Monticello would think well of a man whc camtucta a gambling ibl&t Offcoutse,' it is the plan pf some newspaper editors to say something mean about persons on all occasions and even when a fellow is on his death bed to undertake to present his worst side to the public and to cause those to whom he might have been dear, added humiliation! 1 and disgrace. The Republican did not say that Arrick was defended by any one in Monticello because he was either the runner or frequenter of a poker joint. The Republican did. not say that Arrick was either clever or of high standing but did say that “he was well thought of in his home town." Arrick was unknown to us. We never saw him that we know of, never say Watkins or

any of the participants In the neartragedy and would not defend the despicable business in which they were engaged, but we have never presumed that a man was wholly bad bedtusi he had one fault even though It was a bad one. Arrick may have had some good traits and it was thus represented to us and with some charity at /a time when the cruel hearted would probably say all the mean things they could about him. The, Republican said that "he is said to have been a very clever man and well thought of In his home town." We are glad to say it, hope that it Is entirely true and hope that Mr. Arrick gets well so that he can prove that he is deserving of the well meant eulogy. We have known a certain newspaper, a democratic newspaper, not many miles away,.to support for offices of trust, men who were recognised as frequenters of gambling. Joints, men who had been fined for playing poker. 6ut that is another story. Harry Arrick may have had faults, most men have, but even had he been wholly bad, "The Republican believes that a word of cohid not have come amiss at a time when he war fjy ceive the kieks of self-branded angelic critics. ; •That home made candy at Leavel’a * bakery is delicious.

ARRICK MAY RECOVER FROM REVOLVER WOUND.

Monticello Paper Gives Another Version of the Shooting —Bay Still at Large—False Cine Followed. I . Moflticello Journal. Harry Arrick has been finely for the past twenty-four hours and his recovery from the effects of the revolver shot seems to be assured if no other complications set in. His physicians administered tetanus and streptococcic toxins yesterday to guard abainst lockjaw and blood poisoning. Harry Meridith has been with him al - most constantly since the shooting occurred, and Mrs. Jennie Snyder is with him also as a nurse. One or two of those who were present in the room when the trouble started have asked the Journal to state that Monroe Watkins Insisted that Day keep'quiet or leave the room, and that a bystander said, “I would not take that if I were you Harry,” and Arrick followed him down stairs. The story then goes that the man had no more than reached oujt of doors than Day pressed his gun against Arrick’s body and fired. Harry then grappled with Day and downed him, grasping the gun. In the struggle the gun was broken open at the breech and in so doing the cartridges were thrown ou. and Arrick’s hand was pinched in such a manner that he let loose of Day Steve Watkins states that be heard the melee and hurried out of the house in time to see them struggling and he tried to take a hand-but could not get hold of Day, who broke away and ran. / ■ ’ ■ . V ' , x - • Arrick made a deposition before Prosecuting Attorney Cowger and Attorney Palmer, with Miss Bunnell as stenographer, Sunday afternoon when it was feared he would pass away, In which he made a statement of the trouble and in that it is understood'that he claims to have Had no club or ether weapons in his hands. But little clue has been secured as to the wheabouts of Day. The officers are running dpwn all grapevine rumors that come in, with the hope that something might be learned. Last evening- they went out to a farm near Reynolds and searched the house of a near relatives of Day T s bn the strength of a report that a man said he had seen and talked with Dan and that he had a broken arm and bruised head. When they reached there it was found the man had simply heard that Mrs. Day should have said so mad so, as to her husband’s condition when, he came to the house after his coat and hat. Some people think Day is not far away and that it would be advisable for him to come in and give up, since Arrick is no worse than what he now appears. j i
