We met Mr. Reyburn in front of Hughe's Cigar Store and I politely asked hm what lie had arrested the boy for and he said for' smoking cigarettes. I then told him the boy said it was a cigar and that you (Mr. Reyburn) told the boy that it was all the same. told him that he had told Mr. Ware not to sell any more of those little cigar and he said he did not say ro but that he told him not to sell any more (CIGAR-ETTES), however what he meant I do not know. We .talked the matter over. I telling him that the boy had a right to smoke little cigars and then he got insulting and said he did not want to have any thing to do with me and in the pre i many witnesses, at least a dozen, and just as. I was turning to go he said: "You pin-head."
