BRUNER RESENTS IMPLIED CHARGE Character of Merchants He Buys From Refutes Tale of Poor Food at the Jail Rock Island. Oct. 22. Editor Ar gus: In another evening paper Mon day I observe an attack was made upon me, in which it is alleged that the prisoners in the county jail are "fed on the cheapest sort of food." This is not only a malicious and un warranted slander upon me, but a miserable and low reflection upon the merchants of this city from whom I purchase jail supplies. Who will say the following business men of Rock Island sell "the cheapest sort ' food," and they are the ones from whom I purchase the supplies for the prisoners: H. Tremann's Sons, meat; Fred J. Hodges, groceries; Charles Barth. bread. Enough said. JO. L. BRUNER, Sheriff. COUNTY CLERK HAS THE BALLOTS FOR ELECTION BY MARSHALL NEWTON.
