Hamelitz, Issue #202, page 1025, 3 October 1888:
This is a protest against the people of
Zikhron Ya'akov, the village supported by the Baron Rothschild in the land of Israel.
The Baron installed his officers as outside organizers [supervisors]. The people of
Zikhron Ya'akov dared oppose these officers.
The undersigned sees in this action "ungratefulness towards the Baron who does so much for the settlers in the land of Israel". They call this behavior of the settlers "an outrage/despicable crime"
The names of the undersigned appear in small type, below:

gaon R' Ya'akov Meir Padowa AB"D of Brisk, Arye Leib son of Binyamin Feinstein, Yitkhak son of Rabbi Israel Meizelsh AB"d of Shedlitz,
