last published an article, under the head of
"a Queer Transaction in regard to GER
tain doings of Mrs. E. 5. Thompson, of this
city, in connection with the placing of her
sister-in-law in the Alms-house and oh.
tanning from her deed to certain property
in Bath, Placer county, for $40, which was
alleged to be worth 500. As the article
was copied in various papers, Mrs. Thomp-
son naturally desires that some of the state
ments In II be corrected, as she saws they
DO her gross injustice, and as she expresses
II, 'tenGS 10 bring reproach upon her
frieads and her church, She saws that a
week or SO ago her husband went TO Michi-
gan Bluff, where he has mining interests
and there received information that his SIS
ter was ID distressful condition, and at an
expense of $50 he attempted to reach her
and give her proper aid. But she had taken
the Tram Tor Sacramento, and was here in
hotel when Mr.. Thompson found her.
At sill greater expense Mrs. Davis was
taken to San Francisco, aud provided for as
stated In the Chronicle. She was perfectly
willing to give Mrs. Thompson the deed.
Mr.. thompson had written that the prop
Grey at Bath was bought for 500, and couid
now be sold for no more than $50. He
also declares TO his wife that he will kill on
sight his sisters traducer.
Mrs. Thompson has borne good reputa-
ton IN this city, and in her own way has
endesvored to reform outcasts and comfort
those III distress. Nothing to her discredit
is known here, but she requests the pub
lcatlon of the following, which explains
