STUBBORN FACTS.

u SWCCPlIk <sAIA VAOAOSutC OCAANA :
that Bill King owned any interest what !.
ever in the SAID Pioneer, we feel at lib !
ertv to make statement Of facts to the
public, and mildly request some one to
tell us what these things mean. It is
we'll known fact that VIM. S. King had
a money interest in the Pioneer when
the Lam bertons bought Col. Paulding's
interest, and there are
NO PUBLIC RECORDS
to show that that interest has ever been
transferred to any person, condition
Of things consistent with his recent
kindness in assisting the nominal owner
in meeting payments. It is equally
we'll known that the reason why the
Lambertons retired from the paper was
because of an ugly chattel mortgage Of
FoRy-F1vE THOUSAND DOLLARS
held on several notes, by Commodore |
VIM. F. Davidson, who could not fore
close, however. until the last note be-
came due, which was on the 18th Of |
August last, Except in case Of trans !
fer. When Blakely bought out % the |,
Lambertons the old Commodore claim |
ed that there was transfer, and de-
manded his money, but Blakely speed
ilv showed him that
THERE WAS NO TRANSFER
in fact. which certainly bears out the
supposition that King had not dispos-
ed Of his interest. For if Blakely had
really bought the paper, there was a
transfer, and he claims to have bought
! it. If Kings sub rosa interest was not
transferred. and there was
s:No TRANSFER,
who does own the paper! When
Blaksly took charge, he paid Commo-
dore Davidson $1O,OO0,-all the money
he (Blakely) put inland that was raised
By giving a note t 0 the First National
Bank of St. Paul, with Chas. Schefer
and Russell Blakely as endorsers. 1t
was understood that
BILL KING WAS TO PONY Up
for this note, when it became due,
which was within few days, and about
that time Bill borrowed $4,000 Of the
Loan Association. Five thousand Of
that note were paid on maturity, and
. THE BALANCE WAS RENEWED.
: So far everything was made right with
, the Commodore, but on the 18th his
q last note being due, he and Captain
Rhodes waltzed in and demanded Gosh
poppy. Then did David develope the
depth Of his business talent.
