To the Editor Of the EAGLE.
| 1t was currently reported upon the streets
to-day that the large grocery house of Mich
olson & Pitkin had been closed up by Jos.
Kuhn, of Kansas City. The facts in the case
are, that there has long heen dissatisfaction
growing between the two partners and this
move is n preliminary one TO dissolve the
partnership. No doors have been closed
and business is going on the same as ever.
II is generally understood that Mr.. W. b.
Nicholson, of the old firm, will carry on the
business at the old stand, and that there is
no cause for the report that there had been
failure. Your correspondent talked with
Mr.. y, who subtantiated all of the
above. He acknowledged that he Lad
given Kuhn some security which was entire
ly satisfactory, and he expected no further
trouble after the partnership was closed up.
Upon further inquiry it was learned that
Mr.. Nicholson had furnished all the capital
the firm had from the start. They were a
popular firm and did large business.
The Courier last week published an article
prepared by the editor of Z. c. Cole & Co.'s
bulletin which viii appear in its next issue.

growing demand for the Courier for q m.nth

interest ofthis valley and its people.
