AOTI-TOXINE FOR BMAULVOX.
In Friday's issue of the Telegraph a
local article appeared, yAlltig of tbe de
parture of a number of deputy mar
shals, whose mission was to arrest per
sons guilty of olI«n««t against the
Dodge Company -and charged with hav
ing roundered a .oojro iu Uie employ
ment of Unit ctampauy. The repori-r
luadvertudtly stated that Dodge conn-
1y was tb be tho scene of ilia opera
tions of the dopants. W e have ruoelved
a. Utter from several oit lam’s of East
man, in -which they protest angnly
against this statement, and charge the
Telegraph with malice towards their
county. The charge Is a prupwterons

Tt regrets, of course, the error made by
lit* reporter, but 1s bound to say that
his error -mas fl natural one to a man
writing hastily. The trouble* which
the Dodge Company 1ms had with
squattera upon Its land have attracted
wide attention, first, through 'the mur
der of Mr. Forsyfflh, and afterwards
through the sensational trails In the
United States court at this place. At
tint time and during 'the years since
then, they have always been spoken of

perhaps 'the name of tbe oxnpany had
something to do In locating the scene
of the troubles lit the public ptf-ti-l,
The Tdlegn-ph is wronged by Its eor-
