Boyco,ting the "Boycotter. Z"

EDS. RECORD UNION: The little sheet
termed the Boycotter, and having no ac-
knowledged owner nor author but the
motto, " An injury to one is the concern of
all" has amongst its pretended mild read
ing matter the following choice selection
referring to ladies of Sacramento who en-

therefore have not referred to them in this issue

two edged sword-it may cut both ways.
There have been papers issued in this
State whose pu fishers were made respon-
sible for Matchmaking and punished ac-
cording to the law. Is this not called
