of the political domain to the interests of

quently outside of the state. An in
Btance of this may be noted in the recent
scurnllous attack written by an irrespon

.ro. uia mrnuiy oeyona an anonymous
appendix, appearing in the Burlington
Ilaicktye and furnished the people of 1Mb
district like bonding hotisa hssh, second
uanaea by our very much esteemed morn

morning last the Union gave
portion of its valueless space
a

local correspondent who
signs
nimseit with a very small degree of
egotism -one Who Knows" to another
personal assaclt upon Mr. Cable, which
a as absurd as it is untruthful ti,o
Union has failed to realize the lessons ex
perience should have taught it that noth
ing is gained by a paper in conducting
a political warfare in this manner; that
an editor who Is worthy of representing
a great political organization striving to
accomplish a great and honorable and
legitimate end should not only have his
convictions, but be willing personally to
assume the responsibility of carrying out
those con victims and not shoulder the
responsibility of possible failure upon ir-
responsibla c respondents who are
euuer 100 inucn ashamed or too
cowardly and perhaps both to give
the world th'jir leeal name in rnn.
nection with an assertion which they
make in public print. A paper that
wilL permit the publication of a com
munication retlecting upon the personal
character of tnother and signed only by
fictitious name, has not yet learned
what should constitute honorable and
legitimate journalism. And such has
alwaya been t.he policy of the morning
paper published in this city; it prefers to
make its attacks indirectly and over the
shoulders of aoonymousnoss, fiction and
fraud to the ut;er disregard of all sense
of propriety, d -cency. fairness and truth.
But the matter to which allusion is
most particula-ly mide in this connec
tion appeared in the Sunday morning is
sue. Here it it :
Mr. Cable's railroad, which he claims
now to have never owned, killed the
lady's father and mniher. Mr. Gest
brought two suits for 5.00() each, which
the law clearly allows in such cases. Mr.
Cable got the poor woman in bis office,
made her believe shn had no case, of
fered her about $1,500, and got from
her a power of attorney and dismissed
the suit againtl himself. He beat the
woman out of nbout $ S.OOO.and has been
down on Mr. Gest ever since for daring
to bring suit against his corporation.
One Who Knows.
Nt w let's see.
Wholly convinced that the above, not
withstanding the self-assuring signature,
was a tissue of falsehoods and misrepre
sentation, the A rocs has awaited its
time to make a complete investigation
and place the tacts accurately before the
public. It is unnecessary to detail at
length the particulars of the sad casualty
which has been mido the occasion by
'One Who Kr ows" for an attack on the
dead as well at the living. Suffice it to
say that Mr. and Mrs. Waldman were re
turning from a funeral on Oct. 1G, 1877,
and were crossing the track on what is
known as Weaver's lane beyond Milan,
when they nut their fate. It was a
gloomy day a drizzling rain was falling,
and Mr. and Mrs.Walman bad their heads
wrapped in blankets, and were holding
an umbrella besides. As they reached the
crofsing an lnsomiog train on the Rock
Island & Mercer County road struck the
vehicle and Mr. and Mrs. Waldman were
killed. Suit as entered through Gest &
Parks at the January term of the circuit
court following, against the Rock Island
& Mercer County railroad for $5,000
damages. This suit was brought in the
name of Caroline Waldman, afterward
Mrs. James Patterson, and since, de
ceased, and who being the oldest of the
surviving children, had been appointed
administrator of the estate. But pend
ing the trial of the case, friends of the
Waldman children advised them to call
on Mr. P. L. Cable and seek a settle
ment. Thia i.hey did. Mr. Cable re
ceived them courteously, and while
he maintained that the road was not
liable for damages, owing to the
almost unobstructed view of the track
at the fatal crossing, the fact that
the engine bell was ringing and whistle
blowing, as Mr. Cable claimed, and that
Mr. and Mra. Waldman were very closely
bundled about, the ears; but he told tha
daughter that if he went into litigation
he would be obliged to put out consider
able money la attorney hire and he
would rather t ve her have it than the at
torneys. He therefore offered to settle
at $1,000. The terms were accepted and
together Mr. Cable and Miss Waldman
called at Mr' Cleat's office to conclude the
settlement, but Mr. Gest refused to
listen to it it was, finally consum
mated nevertheless, and Mr. Gest demand
ed that be receive a third of the amount
recovered, as lier agreement when he entered-the
case that of whatever was re
covered he was to have a third. Thia
was paid him as witnesslhe following

This piece of paper considerably worn
with use no doubfby frequent reference,
and which bears Mr. Gest s own unmis
takable handwriting, is in Mr. Waldman'a
possession, and now temporarily in the
hands of the Akous.
BUT THIS 18 NOT ALL.
The above contains considerable of in
terest that "One Who Knows" failed to
remember in the. concocted narrative be
so considerately furnished the Union
for its Sunday morning readers.
The facts herein appearing supple
ment in a most remarkable de
gree the story of Mr. Gest'a extreme con'
sideration for the poor woman of whom
'One Who Knows" is moved to speak
The present congressman, let it be borne
in mind, only demanded and received one
third of the money that poor woman had
received through a transaction with
which he had nothing to do only in the
light of remonstrating. But the half
has not yet been told, as we shall see
Behold the further evidences of Mr
Gest s extreme liberality and tender
hearted thought fulness for the poor wo
man for which he had already done so
much, and accompliHhed so much.
After the case had been entirely set
tled and Mi9s Waldman had received the
$1,000 from Mr, Cable and Mr. Gest had
gotten his fee and receipted for the same,
as in full for services in the suits of the
Mercer County & Rock Island railroad
company," Mr Cable sent for Miss
Waldman one day. and after doing as he
had done on all her previous visits
assured her of his deep sympathy in her
affliction told her that knowing that she
had been obliged to pay out a third of what
he had previously given her in settlement
of her claim to her attorneys, he desired
to make her a present independent of all
previous claims and settlements, and he
thereupon handed her his check for $500
another point which "One Who Knows"
forgot to record is his contribution to the
literary composition of the Sundav morn.
ng Union, but there Is more. v "
oh ho!
The omission last alluded to in "One
Who Knows'" little epistle, was. of
course, wholly an oversight actuated by
no more particular motive on bis part
than was his neglect to mention what is
to follow in this article. Notwithstand
ing that Mr. Gest had given Miss Wald
man a receipt in full for all legal services
which he did not render in the first place;
notwithstanding that Mr. Cable bad
waited until after the settlement before
he voluntarily gave her the additional
$500, and then bad it specifically under
stood that it was a gift to her
in view of Mr. Gest haying tak
en a third of what he had given
her in settlement: notwithstanding all
. Q -
this, Mr. Gest learned of the $500 present
and at once wrote Miss Waldman a letter
demanding one-third of the sum as due
him for attorney fees also, ne no doubt
Hitended this act as a reminder of his un
ceasing interest in the poor woman's wel
fare. The letter was of course ignored as
Miss Waldman held the receipt in full as
printed above for all services, but Mr.
Gest wrote another letter, and another
and several more,' some addressed to the
poor woman in whom he had taken such
kindly interest, and some to ber
brothers, in nearly all of which, however,
he insisted upon having his $166 66 of
the $500 and repeatedly threatened to
bring suit if the amount was not furth
coming. He continued these persecu
tions until Miss Waldman'a then Mrs.
Patterson's death.
No anonymous correspondent is neces
sary to produce this array of solid facts.
for such they are, and "one who knows"
has not acted as a mere non de plume in
giving them. The Argus does not de
pend upon any such method of obtaining
information. In order to verify the actual
story of the transaction in all its
hearings, of which the 1'iiion'i
One Who Knows" gave but a glimpse,
and that through a bad'.y smoked lens, a
representative of this paper visited the
Waldman farm in Edgington township,
this morning, and there saw Mr. Andrew
Waldman, the oldest of the five children
living, and his brother Jacob, both of
whom fully corroborated the foregoing.
and in order to be positive, Mr. Andrew
Waldman on the suggestion of the press
representative, came to Milan and made
fliiavit as follows:
STATK OP ILLINOIS, I
KOTK lrtl.AND CotTNTT, J SS
I, Andrew Waldman, on oath do say
that in the matter of the suit brought by
my sister, Caroline Waldman, as admin
istratrix of mv parents' estate strain at
the R. I. & Mercer County railroad,
for the recovery of damages, that a set
tlement was effected through the In
tercession of Mr. Chas. Uansgen
and others, who advised such a course;
that we made a settlement with Mr. P.
L. Cable for $1,000, out of which we
paid to Mr. W. II. Gest. of Gest & Parks,
Rock Island, $333 33, one-third of the
amount recovered as previously agreed
that be should have, and received from
Mr. Gest a receipt in full for all due him
as attorney; that after the settlement
had been made Mr. Cable sent for my
sister. Caroline Waldman, and made her
a present of $500 in addition to the
amount of the settlement; that Mr. Gest
afterwards heard of it from some
source and wrote us repeated
and threatening letters concerning a por
tion of the $500 which he said was due
him, alleging that be was entitled to one
third of the money Mr. Cable had given
us, voluntarily also. He wrote to us nu
merous threatening letters for the amount
he demanded $166 66 and threat
ened to sue na if we did not pay it. Bat
we never did pay it as we did not believe
Mr. Gest had earned it or was entitled to
it nnder any circumstances.

BARN BURN ED.
Midnight Flaanea Totally Iritroj
Wooden tstraetare up Town.
Sometime near 12 o'clock last night a
frame barn belonging to August Knaack,
situated on Eighth avenue between
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
streets, was burned to the ground, or
nearly so, leaving but a few charred re
mains. The family had gone aBleep and
was not aware of the presence of the fire
until aroused by the shouts of the large
crowd gathered about the premises. Mr
Knaack was so excited, thinking the
house was on fire, that he made an at
tempt to jump from the window in his
night clothes, but was restrained by his
wife.
The contents of the barn were a half
ton of hay. a new top bugsv. a set of
single harness, two sleitrhs one an old
one and the other comparatively new a
etiw and a horse. All these were con
sumed except the two latter, which some
how got out and wandered away, the cow
returning at 6 o'clock this morning, the
horse being found some distance away an
hour later. The whole was insured for
$250 in the Rock ford Insurance Co., and
this morning that company promptly ad
justed the loss at $100, which sum will
be paid.
1 Why He Old n't Attend.
The Union speaks in a wondering way
of Mr. Cable not attending a democratic
county convention, which it says was
held in Monmouth on Sunday last. There
is more than one reason why he did not.
In the first place Mr. Cable is not in the
habof attending political conventions
of any kind on Sunday; in the second
place ae was not in Monmouth at the
time; and in the third place there was no
convention of any kind held in that city.
Were it not for these trivial incidents
perhaps Mr. Cable would have been
there.
