What Mr. Seery Now Says

WHAT MR. SEERY NOW SAYS

William A. Seery, deputy register of deeds, called at this office Wednesday and took exceptions to the statements he is credited with making to a reporter in yesterday's issue of the paper concerning the Rose saloon. Mr. Seery says that he fears that what he is quoted as having said might hurt him, and that he has no desire to create enemies. He handed the following statement to the Argus. The reporter who interviewed Mr. Seery Tuesday says that the matter as printed is practically a statement of what Mr. Seery said. Here is Mr. Seery's statement today:

"I was somewhat misquoted in your last night's issue. In reply to the questions of your reporter I said that I was of the opinion that a saloon in a residence section would lessen the value of property for residence purposes in close proximity thereto, more so than it would property in a business section of the city for business purposes, and as to my knowledge of wrong doing in connection with Mr. Rose's business I answered that I knew nothing of any. I have sometimes heard yelling on the street near my home, but knew not where the parties came from who did it. This, as near as I can recall, is the full substance of my statements."
