CHECHACO REPORTER JUMPS
SOURDOUGH’S CLAIM
II. B. Averiil, a former reporter on
the News-Miner complains through that
paper and the Times of an article appear
ing in the latter paper regarding his
jumping the homestead of George Kolde
an old pioneer. Averiil claims the ar
ticle is “scurrilous” and Becomes ridic
ulous when the facts are known.” Then
he gives the “facts.” lie had no desire
to jump Mr. Kolde’s land ... but if he
( Kolde J cannot be given title to the land
I propose to be next in line, etc.”
All of which seems to us to be the
usual argument of the predatory. He
jumped the land because presumably ne
thought he could get it. Mrs. Rowe was
killed apparently because somebody
wanted her money. If she had gone on
to Seattle somebody there might have
taken it away from her. So it may he
argued the one who killed her here and
appropriated her hard earned savings
proposed to be “next in line.”
One excuse is as good as another. The
real question in the minds of many
however, is who is back of and interest
ed with Averiil ?
