seven OF the most reputable gentlemen Of
Mound City, tina, on the 10th instant, when
Dir. Donahue commenced suit again 81
Mum, he was entirely sober and rational,
that after he had done So he informed sun
dry citizens of the fact; that Mum owed
hun the money claimed, and tina, If he OBJ
tanned justice be would secure Judgment
for the amount. BY the. same gentlemen
