Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1904 — DEMANDS A RETRACTION. [ARTICLE]

DEMANDS A RETRACTION.

R. W. Marshall, deputy prosecuting attorney, has served notice on The Democrat and the Journal, demanding a retraction of certain paragraphs of an article that appeared in those two papers some two weeks ago over the name of W. L. Wood. The Democrat had nothing to do with the writing of said article, knows but little of the matters alluded to therein, and therefore cannot retract. Personally The Democrat is friendly to all the parties connected with this matter and bears Mr. Marshall nor none of the others no ill will whatever. He would have been given space to reply to Mr. Wood in these columns had he asked for it. If there were matters false and libellous in the article complained of, as Mr. Marshall alleges there were, Mr. Wood is financially responsible for any damages that the former’s reputation may have sustained.
