 Editor Bolles of the New Milford Ga zette has for several weeks published articles limiting that certain parties in New Milford were selling fraudulently obtained goods. April IS he published the names of two persons-one in New Milford, the other in Bridgewater-as being the parties selling said goods. He also published opinions of the New Mil ford merchants who denounced the fraudulent dealers. The outside world or the unintiated expected Mir Bollei would be sued for libel, but one of the accused parties turns the tables on som, of the merchants by writing a lettei which the Gazette publishes, stating that some of these honorable (?) mer
 chants bought these goods, knowing
 how they were obtained, and have ever urged to have certain lines of goods or
 dered especially for them. Further de
 velopements are anxiously awaited, but we think Editor Bolles need have nt : fears of libel suit, and we admire hi courage in attacking this fraudulen goods business.
