see by letter in the Butte Miner Of
March 2oth that although very much dis
figured "Miner" is still in the ring. One of
two things is apparent; either that "Mincr'
is very trail champion Of the claims of
Bannack, or that Bannack has no just or
equitable grounds upon which to base her
claims, think it is the latter. ''Mner"
does not attempt to deny, or controvcrt the
facts as given in a letter to your valuable
paper OF March l,th in regard to the means
that were resorted TO by the Court House
Clique to detraud the principal tax payers
of Beaverhead County, by using their
money to build a Court House for which
they had no earthly use, except to gobble
the money paid out in building it, and to
hola do7vS the county seat. But he does
deny that B. S. Peabody was acting County
Judge. said nothing against the moral
character Of Mr.. Peabody. In regard to
his daughter, "Nliner" has said very
small part Of what might be truthfully said
in praise Of her. Among other good quail
tiles, she has 10 much sense to think that
any disrespect was meant to her by my
remarks. Now to show ''Nliner" that ]
intend to be perfectly fair, and to rely
upon the merit. Of the case in this contro-
versy, now admit that was mistaken,
Peabody was not Probate Judge at the
time Of the preparation Of the Court House
fraud His successor appointed Dempsey
County Commissioner. "Miner" says he
did not appeal to Glendale or any other
section for help. That is virtually saying
that Bannack docs not desire the help of
Glendale or any other section. lie will
find that this thing Of voting, Is a very dit
ierent thing from forcing the tax payers to
build Court House. A dozen designing
men at B,nnack can not force our votes
from us, as they did our money. B=t will
"Aliner" explain why he himself with Col.
Dempsey and ether 'Dannack chiefs" have
been in Glendale and the north end of the
county, for several days, spending some
body's 'noa>y very freely trying to siro'v"
the recollection of the old irard, and induce
our people to vote for Bannack. They put
it on the grounds OF tax,s. The difference
between the expense and delay Of running
the District Court ut Bannack or Dillon
would build new county buildings every five
years. But that objection to Dillon is fully
answered in the last number Of the Trib
,,nc.
