A few days ago we took occasion to
comment upon an article appearing in
the Spokesman-Review concerning the
loss bv fire of all her property by Mrs.
M. J. Delaney at Farmington, and an
appeal for aid following thereon. Our
criticism bore hardly on Mrs. Delaney's
children, and it seems was unjust.
We have just received a letter from
Mr. E. P. Lorris, one of ber sons-in-law,
giving an account of the whole matter,
which puts it in an entirely different
light. It seems that Mrs. Delaney is of
a very eelf-reliant and Independent
character, a tvne of the earlv nioneer:
. - - a i j
pthat the article in the Spoksman-Review
was published without her knowledge
or consent or that of her relatives, and
that Mr. Dorris, as well as ber other
sons-in-law and daughters, were at all
times willing and anxious to have her
make her home with them, and that
her self-reliant spirit bad heretofore
prevented her doing so.
The letter to the Spokesman Review
was written by one who kaew nothing
of the circumstances and was a piece of
unwarranted med-iling that has only
served to make Mrs. Delaney and ber
relatives feel badly. Of course we knew
nothing of the circumstances, but com
men ted upon the conditions as stated in
the Review.
From Mr. Dorris' letter we learn that
the deepest affection exists between the
children and their mother, and that our
criticism wounded her as much as her
relatives. We can only add again that
we werecommentingupon thecondition
as tney appeared from Mr. Garrett's ar
tide, and certainly had no intention of
adding one drop to Mrs. Delaney's cup
of sorrow.
W e are pleased indeed to make this
correction, and more than pleased
know that one case of reported filial
gratitude is baseless.
L. Skibbe's Body Found
Yesterday afternoon about 3 :45 three
pistol shots, fired in quick succession,
drew a crowd to the corner of Court and
First streets, where it was learned that
Dan Maloney had been shot by a young
fellow 21 years of age, named Jack Prahl.
Maleney was taken into a room back of
the Baldwin saloon, and Dr. Hollieter
was called to attend to his inju
examination disclosed that one bullet
had struck him abont two inches below
the left nipple, ranging downwards
The wound is identical with that that
killed President Garfield. He was taken
to a room in the Bettingen building,
where he is being cared for. Dr. Hoi
ister informs us that the bullet proba
bly lodged in the right kidney. His
pulse has been at 130 all night, but he
shows wonderful vitality and has a fight'
