Haughawout Acquitted.

The speech making in the case against Editor W.F. Haughawout, who was charged with criminal libel by Constable Watson, was completed this afternoon—24 hours after it began. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Harrison made the last speech and immediately at the close of his remarks Justice Tyres gave his decision, discharging the accused. The decision was in accordance with the expectations of those who heard the testimony.

The justice said to a reporter that the fact that the article complained of made the false allegation through a typographical error left him with only one decision to render and he rendered it accordingly.

Mornin',

I’m thinkin’ of printin’ up some bumper stickers that say "I survived the blizzard of ’98." After that blisterin’ snow storm the last couple a days, I was beginnin’ to think I might actually get ta use a snow shovel.

I think ever’one has an idea for a bumper sticker ever’ now and then. Although they don’t always express any particular personal belief, I always appreciate quick bits of humor.

Among my favorites for expressin’ a particular point of view is the explosive "Nuke the Whales" that puts a lot of emotion into only three words. Durin’ the energy crisis when midwestern natural gas was bein’ rerouted to the east coast, the classic "Let ‘em freeze in the Dark" drew some attention.

A friend a mine came up with the potential classic "Help stamp out and abolish repetitive redundancy." I still think it’s message is applicable today.

‘Course we won’t get into the "Honk if. . ." variations.

This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.
