Walter Lee Nelson of Francisco,
defeated candidate for constab's
at Francisco in the late election,
wag i Q town Wednesday. He says
he came to see about employing a
lawyer in a suit for damage la
his character resulting from an
article published in the last issuj
of the Reporter.
The article in question alleged
that "a candidate for constable at
Francisco admitted that he took
two watches from merchant Eli
jah Beasley, and settled for them
at the polls where he was work
ing in the election. He paid the
owner of the watches, or rather
paid the cash for one and return
ed the other. Beasley claimed
three watche s had been stolen,
but Nelson denied that he got
more than two.
Mr. Nelson was a candidate for
constable on the Republican ticket
against E. E. Shelton, Democrat.
He received 158 votes, while Shel
ton got 335.
Mr. Nelson, at the Reporter of
fice Wednesday, inquired of this
newspaper its authority for stat
ing that he had Btolen the jewel
ry. The Reporter man pointed
out to him that nobody's name
was mentioned as the purloiner of
the watches. But he said ft was
meant fer him, and he indignant
ly denied that h» had stolen Mhe
watches. He said he offered the
lady clerk in Beasleys store a $5
bill, but she could not change the
money. He then took two watches,
but surrendered one of them to
the owner of the store later at th«
voting precinct, While he paid the
merchant SI.OO For the other.
Nelson say B lie is thinking of
bringing a suit for SIO,OOO or
more against somebody for sland
