W E I Ml after we received the letter printed here, we wrote, asking if it were
a bluff. They replied, saying there was no bluff about it," arid, to show you the real
thing, we publish same. Ypu certainly live in a free country, and you are entitled to

30 per cent on your money when you buy groceries from us, somebody feels hurt.
Those mentioned are applying methods that are not at all becoming to an American citizen. Just
think of it! Trying to debar you, a free individual, from saving what you can. The very idea

WANT CONVICTION.
Wilton Globe: "Sentiment has
changed-greatly in favor of Barry in
Langdon and the county," says a
Langdon dispatch to The Grand Forks
Herald. 1 Whether the correspondent
is himstlf misled as to the actual facia
or is endeavoring to mislead the pub
lic is a matter of conjecture. Be this
as it may, the statement is too wide
of the mark to be published under the
guise of truth. While it is a well
known fact that certain Langdon citi
zens have become suddenly interested
in Barry's acquittal the reason for
such spontaneous change of sentiment
is not perceptible. Certainly no new
trend in the case justifying such
change was apparent from the time
of the initial trial up to the recent one
just completed. These few Langdon
ites who have become so solicitous of
Barry's welfare constitute but a minor
ity in Langdon and as concerns the
balance of the county the very reverse
is the case. In Milton and the sur
runding country—the very scene of
the tragedy, and where a better con
ception of the facts ought to be found
than elsewhere—the sympathy for
Barry is not in much evidence. These
are the true conditions and any re
ports to the contrary are gross mis
representations.
