To the people of this fair county it
is not generally know to what extent
wrong doing and rascally subterfuee
has been rracticed upon the patirn,
people of the present County seat
1t is due the good name of these
people that at least part OF the
trickery and unscrupulousness of the
50 called New Town faction should
be exposed, that unsuspecting
strangers might not be lured to
invest their hard earned savings for
the sole and orly purpose Of aiding
soulless corporation in booming its
so-called addition to Weiser and
assisting it out of the mire of financial
difficulties it must be in.

monster could not be appeased, as ii
s was satisfied with nothing, short OF
d the removal of all business, residence
!. and county property outside the
g corporate limits of the city. In othel
