To the Editor:
CerUin reports have reached rne
and they ant of such a nature that
I feel called upon to make a few
statement, and for that purpose I
bee your pardon for intruding upon
vour eood will and the use of your
paper to submit to the people of
Monmouth and Independence, the
following: j
When I left Monmouth about
the middle of August, 190:1, Mr.
Arihur S. Alleri and I were, and
hd been, since our acquaintance,
on the best of term. W e saw each
other no more until I returned to
Monmouth in June, 1904. The
difference between us grew up
betweeu those dates and was
due particularly to a misunder
standing of one of hi letters to me,
but partially to my association
with other parties. I have never
accused Mr. Allen of any unlawful
or immoral acts or purpose and
so far as my knowledge kom there
i9 no ground for such charges.
The rumors which cr.taiu such
accusation started by parties who
thought thereby to befriend me,
and have been misconstrued and
V. . naAivrt a a inmnrti A, t ft 11 rw 1 11 ft
proportions. The report that Mr.
Allen tried last June to induce me j
to marry him against uiy will
is also false.
Begging our pardon again, lam
Annie Ovehiioltzer.
