Editor Examiner' -Allow mo a few lines in your" paper, to answer an attack in last weeks New6 under the head of Religious mat ters, the writer ot which did not attach his name to the article. The Editor of the News has visited the place often enough to learn whether or not it is Nine or Ten pin alley. As to the round dance spoken of in his article we freely confess we ktiow nothing about, as we know nothing about dancing. All we hare say about the gamb ling and thieving attached, is that in a general way the grandest rascal or worst thief squeals first or in other words turns 6taies evidence. In conclusion 1 would say that 1 have paid a license to the city of Hutchinson to run a Ball Alley for one year, and hope it will not interfere with any one preach- in the Gospel if he is qualified! or prohibit our omco seeding r.un or from minding his own business.
