That Lying Dispatch.


 the then pending injunction restrain ing Secretary Hoyt from the removal of the capital. That night certain gentlemen called on the Judge at the special request of Messrs. Farley & Pomroy. The next day a dispatch re- garding that call was sent 10 Prescott for publication, and hearing of it, we said last Saturday that some infamous liar sent it, and we now repeat that statement, and here give the following documents:
 EDITOR CITIzEN:-A telegram dated Tucson, May 17th, appears in the col umns of the Miner, of same date, as follows:
 4 deputation headed by WaSson, ed llor of THE CITIZEN. and Hugh Far ley. attorney for plaintiff in the injunc- tion case, invaded the chambers of Judge French last night. A reporter of ihe Star stopped in to see fair play and the crowd scattered. B. G.
 In all important particulars the above telegram IS not true. IL IS not true that the undersigned, who with yourself, called on Judge French and to whose call the above telegram evil dently refers, were deputation. It is not true that those who made the call were headed by you. It is Eot true that we invaded " the chambers of Judge French It is not true that a Star reporter or any reporter scatter ed us. The telegram as a whole seems to insInuate that the call was made in relation to the Judges decis- ion IH the injunction suit. Otherwise why give 1t the importance of sending il to Prescott! If this insinuation was intended, it IS not true. We called at the request of Farley & POmroy, to hear an explanation from Judge French of a certain remark made by that gentleman, which explanation those individuals deemed the circum- stances required. NIT. Wasson, with others, never spoke during the inter view, and it was with reluctance he consented tc be present We left be- cause the interview had fully termina- ted. No allusion to the Judges com ing decision of the injunction case was made, nor did the nature of the interview permit such The reporting of the interview in inc above manner was calculated to miSlead the public, otherwise for them il could have no interest.

 '' In all important particulars these gentlemen say B. G.'S telegram is un- true, therefore it is false and the sem der IS guilty of base falsehoods; and as he must have known il to be false, he Is base liar; and il is fitting that a sheet which has been hbeling this county and its people, should rcceiyeI share of ifs falsehOOdS from such a source. When Judge French's atten-, ton was called to the dispatch, he pro nounced it outrageous and a reflection upon himself, and therefore onI Wednesday he handed Us the follow ing for publication:
 TUcsoN, May IA depqtation, headed by Wasson, editor of IRE CIT HEN, and Hugh Farley, attorney for plaintiff in the injunction case. inva-. ded the chambers of Judge French last night. A reporter of the Star step-| ped in to see fair play and the crowd l scattered. E. c. !
 My attention has been called to the above telegram. It is, in my opinion, liable to produce a very wrong and un- just impression. The subject concern ing which the inquiries were made, on the occasion referred 10, had nothing whatever to do with the injunction case, and never could have the slight est bearing on it.
 C. c. W. FRENCH. The effect of the dispatch could only be to spread broadcast an Idea that deputized citizens of Tucson, headed by the attorney for the injunction (and ourSelf) had called on the Judge just after hearing the case, to assail or browbeat him, or in some way try to force a decision in accordance with their wishes or demands, and that up to certain point, he listened tO such proceedings, which, if true, would have been infamous, and therefore a Teproach and shame to the and the Chief Justice of the Territory. The telegram was base ly false and We repeat the sender was n liar. CThe Prescott Miner man knows whether or not the sender is 200 miles away from us)
 There are many other features of this case that might be pertineully sta ted However, we will not be miSun- derstood. Yet one or two more state ments should be made. The Miner having libeled many Amencans and the Mexican citizens generally of this and also the election officers of the county, it readily publishes the most damaging lies any liar may sup ply it with regarding this people and
