Frost, of the Carson Herald, IN the
absence of Mr.. Haines, the proprietor,
last week. the first time since December
that he had been allowed to get out a
the paper, concluded to give its readers
some sensational reading matter, and at
the same time east stigma upon the
honesty and integrity of Com b. p.
Hoover and County Clerk j. A. Meloon,
the only county officials, who, up TO
the past few days, have resided Mt the
county seat and transacted county bus
mess in the proper place, rs laid down
by the statutes, Mr.. Hoover acting as
Clerk of Court In his article he
states that Messrs. Hoover and Meloon
had entered into scheme to sell out the
county seat TO parties in Fairbank, and
remove it to that town, which, in the
first place is base falsehood and in
the second could not be legally done.
According to the Code when county
seat is temporarily located the location
cannot be changed other than by a
vote of the people, which shows very
plainly that the assertions of the Herald
are untrue When in town Saturday
Frost was very busy for some time in
forming our people of the great danger
they were i'm Of losing the county seat,
but was hooted ut and soon made To
feel that his volunteer information was
considered, as is all other presented
by hlm, f;llsehood, and, when faced
by Mr. Hoover, he denied knowing
anything about the removal scheme,
but had simply heard that it could be
done, upon which he had drawn his
conclusion and proceeded to inform the
people.
Frost, of the Carson Herald, has
again opened his mouth and exposed
his ignorance. He claims that the
WATcHMAN is endeavoring to mislead
the settlers, who have advertised to
make final proof before the Clerk OF
the District Court, by advising them
to have their testimony taken before
said officer, as advertised. Frosty
tries to make the people believe that
it is necessary to send in new inten-
tons and make proof before the Judge
of Probate in order to secure a legal
