Show Another Refutation V Editors Herald In a recent issue of the Tribune I perused a false statement made 1 I by some unknown but satisfactorily identified being in regard to an assault as-sault made by Bishop Smith upon a young man named George Davis As an eye witness I deem it neces sary that all not having heard the facts of the case may be correctly informed All assertions V made by the Tribune are based upon falsehood false-hood The Bishop having discharged dis-charged Davis whom he had previously previ-ously employed to work for himwas compelled to do the work himself One evening as the sun was retiring retir-ing and the yellow disk shedding its golden luster over all nature came the Bishop from his daily task tired and fatigued He stationed himself at his desk to transact some business awaiting him Davis being be-ing in the office conversation arose hetween them about an agreement they had made Davis asserted that Smith had failed to be governed by the agreement Smith told him he had done more by him than he would have done had it been any other individual as he had a desire for his welfare and bad acted strictly according to agreement The young man thinking he had been unjustly dealt with vindicated his own cause which was extremely annoying to the Bishop who insisted that he state where in the agreement had been violated A few moments elapsed and the young man again asserted that he had been unjustly treated and the agreement had not been regarded Do you mean to say I lie ejaculated the Bishop Yes I say you have not kept the ann at this moment the Bishop was in the attitude of boxing his ears but but regaining self possession staid the blow that might have been vio lent Davis supposing fight the purport struck a few unfeeling blows that is the Bishop did not feel them at which the Bishop seized him and flung him prostrate to the floor Regaining their more erect position hothing further transpired It has been reported that Mr Squibbs and the constituents of his cilque offered toliberally remunerate Davis to enter a charge against the bishop but Davis possessing much more intelligence than his promoters promo-ters and understanding he had irri tated the bishop declined to do so Mr Squibb seems in such instances to be very free and liberal with his wealth but much to the contrary when his creditors he meets T EO |
