Answers the "COurieI's" Charges Against Him.


 1t to be an answer to an article headed Facts and Figures, pub lished in the CHAMPION of March 22nd had 1 not known the writer So well, l should not have thought 1t was intended for an answer.
 But l am so thoroughly ac- quainted with his writing that could have written his answer be- fore handed you the article re ferred to.
 He starts in as surmised he would with Coconino, Flagstaff county divison, county accession, office seekers, &c.
 He slld over my article as though the seat of his pants was patched with bacon-rini, he did not stop to answer single item referred 10 Tn It. It undoubtedly was hard dose It seems that he was unable to digest 1t. I did not write the article as county divisionIst, I wrote It as a taxpayer, 1t was a broad field for Bro. Marion to work on as 1t showed few of the errors committed by the Prescott ring, It also showed the taxpayers where thelr money has gone and Is still going. It show further tbat there IS a gang at work in Prescott day and night to rob them of S3oo, 900 more, also how hogglSh and selfish the Prescott gang Is.
 Bro. Marion says that if the people of the north desires to ce- cede from old Yavapa iu a fair and honorable way, he has no objec- tlon- You bet your boots Bro. Marion If we cecede 1t will be in a fair and honorable way we will not be set off on ten acre patch, if such a division is made you will find taxpayers of eastern Va vapal fighting the cecessionists. Marion calls it accession. who has sworn their allegiance to Old Va vapai? 1 know of no person or persons except John Marion and his gang, and 1 for one am willing they should stay with Old Yavapai and rob 1t as long as Old Yavapai will stand it.
 The 'Poor Old Man" says he has labored hard for the advances ment of the county ever since 1863 and (using his own language) but for the baselrss fabric of his na;- TOW vision, he might have accom- plished something.
 It Is d fact he makes trip once year to Mob Hlll at the East End of Prescott and takes a birds eye view of what he thinks is all of YavApai county, he then returns to his den nd writes up the re- sources of Yavapai county for an other year.
 After he rad my article, in place of dis<ecting the charges made therein, he attacted me per sonally in such a weak and simple way that feel sorry for the old man, he Is certainly in his second childhood. I forgive him for the false, baseless, and venonouS charge he accuses me of, when he says I favored any of the appropri> atIons 1 mentioned in my article, 1 defy him ol anyone else to prove that 1 ever stood in with the gnng to rob the county.
 lie a.yS l sud beef at the peck and robbed tue poor miners, by my exh4rbitant prices. Yes! | sold beef al the Peck, Tiger, and Butly Bueno. When l quit the 0usuiess l had over S4,ooo on'iny l books, Jack IT,. or bette. known as Black Jack raid me S2o winch IS all 1 ever got out of It. now If he miners who recoilect my steep prices for beef, will come to the front and pay me SC Der pound for the beef they got fr3h ne II years ago and have not paid me for, W Ill be satlsfi, d although 1t cost me 7c per ID. on the range.
 He says 1 was two weeks writ ing the article that set nm crazy Il may be l was, but it did noi cost me S75 or S1oo to reach the county records, as all those dlsa- graceful schemes have been well impressed on my memory from infancy and will be for a long lime to come especially when tax paying time comes around.
 He says l grumble because the people built court house and jJil to protect me and my property from bad men, false again There are cases existing today, and with in the knowledge of many of our taxpayers wherein the criminal is yet at large. Why? Because the prosecuting witnesses cannot at ford 10 travel from 100 10 POO miles to the county seat and loose three or four weeks time attending Court, besides being out C. pocket from SIS to sIoo, those criminals are still free to commit crime al will. Is this protection? Some body explain
 He says wish to be supervl sor, had 1 been elected 5 years ago he and others would have found out that there IS other territory in Yavapai county beside his reserva-
