they succeeded in doing few days ago, but

about $3.50, was not forthcoming, and they
took the tug in charge to hold until it was
paid. Kilby promised to pay next
day, but failed to do so, on &C.

New Orleans having failed TO forward the
amount. Justice Quigley refused to is,ue

went down 10 see if he could not effect a
