Show BROWN AND M'GREQOR FRIENDS Editor Standard: I regret exceedingly exceed-ingly the result of the recent controversy contro-versy over water matters between Mr. Moroni Brown and myself and realize, after going over what has transpired between us, that I erred In my views and conduct relative to what I considered con-sidered were my rights, which largely justified Mr Brown to be provoked as he was. Some of the events connected with the arrest, as relatc'd In the newspaper newspa-per accounts, were greatly exaggerated exagger-ated and 1 one case entirely untrue. Mr. Brown did not enter my house and drag my wife out, as stated by one paper. I wish further to freely exonerate his son Ora from any blame for the part he took in the matter and to say it was an error on my part in having him arrested. Mr Brown and I have since fully adjusted our difficulties and I wish to make this public acknowledgment as a matter of Justice to Mr. Brown and family. (Signed) JOHN J. M'GREGOR. |
