 : hont ,bel Gf,1 .,sI syr 5i.1 1ez e,v Curry desired to sell the Interest ot the heirs of II. Nj.

CWr1 iFom '"t Wihe 'ne' --riacd me and ] 1 learned from street talk that tle MeSsrs. Cusl,
 had sold tbe property in question to other parties. i Whcreupcn addressed letter to Mir. John W. Curry, in which reminded him that 1s the 1lth inst. he came into ny place of business, and sta ted 10 me that D. C. Morcland, in the cabin at the ! Tiger nine, had made proposition Co him 10 purchase the property in question, that ia consc- qucncc of representations made by Mir.

 To that letter Mir. Curry made no reply in any manner whatever but left Prescott on the stage on Saturday, February r, for California, and in the MINER of that date the card previously re- ferrcd to was published.
 Owing to the failure of MT. Curry to ratify the ] bargain made between us, have been placed in a I position with regard to other parties which has been extremely annoying to me, and to cxonerate myself frosa blasne well as to define my exact position, do now most emphaticaly declare that thc said Thomas J. Curry is base liar.
