COMMUNICATIONS
To the Editor
irnving read some articles in your
paper recently relative to the killing
of tho game wnrden, Mr. Hubbard, by
Loris Martin, I want tho opportunity
to 'call vour attention to the fact that
whilo wo greatly deplore tho killing
of Hubbard ourselves, y6u must re
mejnber that there arc two sides to
Ibis affair. I am not justifying tho
cillinjif, by anv means, yet at the same
time there can be conditions connect
ed with the affair thnl would justify
it, hnd I hardl,
y think- your paper
doing the cqrrcct thing or the fair
thing in publishing the articles that
hnvo recently appeared in its col
umns. It is not giving Mr. Martin a
pquurq deal by any means whntcver.
Thoso articles I allude to have the
tendency to prejudice the minds of
tho people, muking it a difficult mat
ter to secure an impartial jury, or to
Biyo. him any kind of a futr trial
wiintcvcr. You Jinve sentenced aim,
virtually without a trial.
Now, I would like to say this: That
I oin acquainted with Mr, Martin and
all thQ Martin family; have known
them for eighteen years. I know
them to bo a peaceable and hard
working and honest people. Thoy re
gre thi as bud as any one could.
Lorirt Martin, in all my yenn of ac
quaintance with him, made mo know
that he is not tho kind of mat) you
would havo tho people, beliove. Jlo is
honest anil truthful in his dealing
yith his neighbors. No man ever left
bjs cabin hungry. IIU temper was n
even iu the common man, and hi
fricuos arc numerous among tin'o
who now Uin, Itfs purse wna ah.nya
open to his friends. Ills aged mother
is loved hv all who know her, bus a

TEN MILES OF FILM
AT THE STAR THEATER
K, L, Dernard, manager of the
Star theater, gave out some reel fig
tires yesterday.
On Christmas day tho Star started
the first show at 1:00 p. in, and had
a picture on the screen continuously
until 11:10 p. m., running a seven
reel show eleven times, and us each
reel bus 1000 feet of film this makes
a total of -tll.ooO feet, or about ton
miles of films that wero run through
tho two machines used at this the
