" An exchange. printed in the latitude OF

the rate of taxation is steadily on the in

The law of the Territory makes it the

called me q coward and a liar"
These are expressive words, still they
throw but little light on subject
about which the public is growing more
than curious.
In conclusion, I trust you will not
take the attention I have paid you as a
compliment; for I can assure you, I
would not have taken the trouble I
have, were it not for the fact that you
assailed me at time and place when
no one could reply.
am your obedient servant,
STEPHEN JUDsoN.
