REMINGTON EDITOR HAD NO INFORMATION

Prosecutor Called Him to Substantiate Charges. _____ Prosecuting Attorney Longwell recently conducted a court of inquiry at Remington to try to gather information of alleged selling of intoxicating liquor, but it is said that he found no one who could furnish information on which a convietiop could be procured. After all the witnesses furnished by a number of good citizens had been questioned Prosecutor Longwell said that he wished to call a witness and he sept after Editor Bartoo, of the Remington Press. Bartoo had on several occasions indicated that there were places where liquor was sold and had spoken of Mr; Longwell In caustic terms for not breaking up. the practice, indicating that he was neglecting his duty. Noturally tMr. Bartoo was expected to give out some information of a valuable sort and Mr. Longwell thought he was saving the best until the last, but much to his surprise the editor did not know a thing. He had printed his suspicions without foundation of a tangible sort, and his criticisms of Mr. Longwell were without justice, of any kind. Mr. Longwell, it is said, took advantage of the opportunity to inform the editor that he had been very unfair and that the scorching the editor received is apt to hold him for a long time.
