 A close examination of |
 of the above love letter Ii that it was written with d
 backhand, with the intent
 the handwriting, and m
 written by some one who atll llc1l lll1 the spelling and writing school. ., 1
 As cannot have the pleasure of a pei sonal interview with the amiable Miner, will you allow me the privilege of repl' ing to his charming eplstle, and say to hi that have concluded not to go, nor wels I ever notice his disinterested adyi the subject were it not for th that similar threats have been " others, and that the threats would be Ca liei into execution if they only dared | do it. Since the doring attempt to murder Mayo} Clurn, and to wantonly kill a stage load Q passengers to accomplish it, these little ema nations of bravado do not draw forth adJ miratlon as would the beauty of summe clouds with silver lining. They are tod sombre and surrounded with a deathl black shade of recent transactions-theD are bad omens of the future, when viewed in the light of the death-glar of the past This style of threat has been made nd only against myself, but at the same tim against Mir. Cum and others. The attemp has been made to assassinate Mir. Clum- who will come next?
 One and all will ask, from whence dS these threats emanate? And each vii have his own opinion; have mine. And now will try to do justice to the Clanton brothers by saying that they and men out side the city, living on ranches and en gagged in raising cattle or other lawful pu suit, as heartily condemn these proceed ings as any man in our midst, and thd they as honestly denounce all such affai as any man can That the real evil exist within the limits of our city.
 It is needless to try to turn these matte into rldicule, or make them a subject jest for funny squibs. It is a matter serious importance to the community.
 am well aware that all this hostility t me IS on account of my decision in tn Earp case, and for that decision l hay been reviled and slandered beyond med ure, and that every vile epithet that fot mouth could utter has been spoken of md principal among which has been that lo corruption and bribery
 It is but just to myself that should hi assert that neither directly nor iAdirec was even approached in the interest the defendants, nor have ever received favor of any kind from them or for the Not so the prosecution-in the interest that side even my friends have been int viewed wlth the hope of influencing with money, and hence all this talk them and those who echo their sland about corruption, And htre too, " to publicly proclaim every one who ss that was in any manner improperly tluenced is base and willful lar.
 Even those who insinuate such to hal been the case are only giving reflex their own corrupt hearts.
 "Those who credit crime Are those who feel their own hearts weak to m
 resisted sin.
 Memory not judgment, prompts to thoughts liA
 these,
 An easy faith to win; And tales of broken faith are most readily belive By those who have themselves deceived"
 There is rabble in our city who wol like to be thugs. if they had coura would be proud to be called cowboys people would give them that distinct but as they can be neither, they do the they can to show how vile they are, islander, abuse and threaten everybody tSeyI dare to. Of all such say, that whenever| they are denouncing me they are lying from low, wicked and villainOus heart and that when they threaten me they q because they are low-bred, arrant cowi and know that fight is not my racket If it was they would not dare to do it.
 In conclusion, will say that will here just where they can find me she they want me, and that myself and otl who have been threatened will be l long after all the foul and cowardly Ii and slanderers have ceased to inlest city.
 History teaches us that n all cont1 between law and order on one side d lawlessness on the other, tlat the forr invariably prevails. So 1t will be -h6 and that too very soon.
