Sam English Says the Duvall’s Report of Canada Was Correct.

Sam English, of up in the Moose jaw region of Canada, came Friday for a short visit with his father, John English, and sister, Mrs. Albert Brand. He will return home the latter part of the present week. The Democrat has been unable to interview Mr. English, but is informed by parties who have talked with him that his story of that section of Canada confirms in practically every detail the story told by the Duvalls on their recent return from a prospecting trip up through there, which story displeased the publishers of the Rensselaer Republican so much, because, it is reported, that the Republican was “in cahoots” with the pseudo local algent for these lands and was to receive a rake-off on all sales made through its advertising. The Democrat is also informed that Mr. English stated that the Republican had written him and tried to get him to deny the story told by the Duvalls of the conditions there, but that he refused to do so, saying that their story was substantially correct in all essential particulars. Those who have talked with Mr. English personally have, of course, this story at first hand, and it only confirms what he Democrat has already said in the matter in its reply to the per-* sonal attacks made by both the ah leged local agent and the Republican on the editor of The Democrat because he gave space to the Duvalls to warn their friends against being taken in on this Canadian land scheme of the Republican’s.
