stated before, leave here today at $3.50 p.

Dallas and other points throughout the
state. The Fair Association have been
duly notified Of my intentions in this mat

work in this city-they also re-
ceived the first copy OF the pos
ter from the press and that too several
days before they we're distributed to the

vertising, pay your bills, and will guar
antee to get out poster that will please
you and everyone else who has any inter-
est in Southwest Texas and the A amO city.
70 the 90 I'd DeOple OF San Antonio l will
say: Zone story is good until the other is
told" is u true saying, and all ask is to
give me fair trial, and before coming to
| conclusion l would respectfully suggest
| that you hear both sides and II possible,
"place yourself in the other man s shoes"
| Thanking the people and press of San
| Antonio for courteSies extended, will
close by saying that the payment of the
money due wichita" Is with me, person
ally, = second consideration. 1t Is prin-
ciple and fair treatment that l am work.

having the claim we hold against the
Fair Association turned over to some good
charitable institution OF San Antonio or
of the state. Public opinion might, per-
haps, bring some people to their sense OF
duty. Respectfully,
JOHN HOWARD,
The Man with the Hoo.
