At Salem recently two well known men met and one shot the other so he died. It wr.s a plain case where one man armed himself and hunted for the oth er and wreaked his vengeance because the man he killed had called him dishonest. It is not always prudent to say what you think, but in this case the man who repeated what he heard has the satisfaction to know that his tale-bearing sent one man to eternity and the other to prison j n:d may send him to the gal- lows.
