2/25/1903--Neillsville Rep. & Press

Undersheriff Jno. Dwyer of Neillsville, left a note on our table, during the noon hour, one day last week which read: "Walked down from Abbotsford to see you, what's the whyfor of your whereness?"

We knew nothing real awful bad that we had done, yet felt a little guilty so dodged around pretty lively until train time when we were captured and forced to accept some of that stuff Bryant and the Democrats fought for during the last few years. You're alright John, we won't dodge next time, and will give our permission for the party to nominate you for sheriff at the next county convention--Colby Phonograph.
