Tra Vaets la. Caa. -;' The facta concerning- th Craln case sre aa follows. They can be verified ha spy f itt I I if""""," The Oregonian, however, will probably not feel Inclined. Wllford Craln cam Into thla city the morning of November ST. He drank ex ceaslvely during the entire day and ' near 4 o'clock, when hi bolaterouanesa attracted the attention of City Marshal , Harrington, he waa reeling with drink. . When Harrington attempted his arrest, Craln resisted and a fight ensued. Har rington struck Craln with hi billy, and when Craln attempted to rise from th ground and renew tne fight he Was truck again. Th laat blow across th ear brought unconsciousness. - Craln a kull waa not fractured, aa aet forth In Dr. Belknap's certificate, and h haa recovered from both hi Intoxication and th effect of the blow. - Craln haa been arrested several times before thl year for th sam offenses he was guilty of a few daya ago. He haa many - times, threatened Harrington with bodily Injury, and haa mad hi brag that he would put Harrington out of business as soon aa th latter term of office expired. The 111 feeling which. Craln hold against Harrington la of 14 yeara' standing, and originated when Harrington married Crain'a - sister. Xairlngton Opposed Wllltamsoa. Harrington waa opposed to Congress man Williamson politically ever Sine) th latter first ran tor office. The Oregon- ' lan'a assertion , that Harrington Is staunch friend and supporter of Wil liamson and felt keenly Craln's testi mony In th land trials. 1 so palpably, false that It needs no contradiction. Crain'a connection with the land cases had nothing whatever to do with his recent trouble and arrest. A few hours before he resisted the marshal. Craln entered a saloon and avowed hi determin ation to punish Harrington, a threat he had made many times beror notn wnen sober and under th Influence of liquor. Harrington, knowing the man's disposi tion, waa not slow in using rorciDiw means whll placing Craln under ar rest. Only a short tim a go Harrington waa more lenient with him while plac ing htm under arrest and received se vers Injuries as a result. These are th facta. - Th Oregonian cannot prove to th contrary. 'And they form th faint ahadow out or whtcn prang th monstrosities published as news matter andladltortals by th Ore gonian. - ' - Slander and Deceit. . But the Oregonian did not ear In publish th truth. Its purpose would have been balked. So from a common street brawl, hardly worthy of notice. It ha woven the most slanderous ar ticles ever published In an Oregon newspaper. The rank deceit fulness, th total lack of truth upon which to base th false fabric of Its scurrilous attack, are not matters which the reading pub- lie will fall no comprehend.
