The Facts Of Lambs Dealings
with Charles II. Shelby, OF
Butternut Valley.

Charles IL. shelby, Of Butternut
Valley, a bitter Democrat, has print
ell u budget Of pretended griefs
against Mr.. Lamb, In the last Reriep.
Mr., shelby alleges, In substance, that
he wrote 10 the owners OF two Ger.
tain notes given for q sewing ma.
chine, asking an extension on the
same but that these notes being In
the hands Of Lamb & Watkins they
refused such extension. Now the
facts are. that these two notes against
shelby were first given for sewing
machine, were then transferred to u
Reaper Co. these notes were renew.
ed and secured by chattel mortgage
on stock. This Reaper Co. failing,
they fell into the hands Of the Win.
nebago National Bank, Of Rockford,
III. This bank sent them TO Lamb &
Watkins for collection, and this was
the FIRST that Lamb and Watkins had
to do with them. The notes came 10
Lamb 4 Watkins In the way Of regu.
lar business, with the following In.
structions:

These were positive instructions.
And In accordance Herewith, they

no answer, they then sent u man 70

dollars. Very soon after, Mr.. Shelby

stating his situation and recommend.
ing an extension. Mr.. Shelby also
wrote the bank, and his letter was re-
ferred back TO Lamb 4 Watkins for
their action, and II they granted such
extension, then Mr.. Shelby was to
pay the cost already incurred. This
was what the bank required. But II
will be observed that the SO charged
by Lamb & Watkins, was about one.
half the actual expense Of going TO
Shelby's and making and recording
the two new papers. These are the
facts, and show that Lamb & Watkins
not only did not press or over charge
Mr.. Shelby, but secured for him an
extension he could not have other
wise obtained. Ten months after this
transaction. Mr.. Shelby came into
the Office of Lamb & Watkins to pay
some money on his notes, and gen.
eral conversation occurred between
him and Watkins on politics, which
was begun by Shelby. The conver.
sation was general and Mr.. Watkins
positively denies that any money was
offered Mr.. Shelby for his vote; nor
was there any offered to him II he
would agree not to work against Mr..
Lamb. Mr.. Watkins did, subsc-
quently, ut the house of Thos. Evans.
ask Mr.. Shelby to make true state.
