cred sufficient TO make up for his thin

lowed in day or two by Mr.. ingalls, vio-

To THx JoURNALMINER: In a letter appearing in the Albuquerque Demo- crat of May 9th. that ."modest daisy, plucked from the mesas of Apache county" Harris Baldwin, an attorney of the Arizona bar, has taken upon him. self to charge me with insulting the district and supreme courts of this ter ritory, and uses the following language :: "He, with apparent deliberation, insult ed the district court and the supreme court of the territory, by telling the jury that he would have to go to the SUI. preme court of the United States to get the law"
 With all due respect to his standing as lawyer, and his ability to form an opinion, beg to differ with him i'll his inferences and conclusions arrived at in this matter. As he has "rushed into print" to make an accusation against a fellow member of his profession, permit me to state the facts, and will leave it to my friends to say if his inferences and conclusions are properly drawn.

We don't want it. If you bring it in for less than that
