WHO IS niSTAKEN?

City Marshal Abbott, at the I Democrat office Saturday morning—and told others, we understand—stated emphatically that the call for nightwatch Zea never came from the city hall, as the ’phone there was not in working order and had not been for several months. The operator at the telephone office said the call came from the city hall. The Telephone people say that the ’phone has been in good working order all along and they have had no complaint of its not being in working conttion. A member of the fire department says that at a meeting of the department a few evenings previous they used the ’phone and it “worked all right.” Others who have used the ’phone at different times along and who are not interested in “who called Lyman” say that the ’phone was all right. The Democrat would like to k now if all these parties can be

mistaken and the City Marshal alone is right? The Democrat would like also to say in reply to Bro. Marshall’s effusion regarding Lyman’s having been called up on a great many previous occasions, to have fun with him, that Lyman himself says that the statement is untrue; that he was never called up before this particular time. Either Marshall or Lymaui s mistaken about this, also.
