LETTER FROM LOTT.
He Claims That the Ledger Is Mis-
taken.
To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
RUSH HILL. Mo-, Aug. 10.-I see
in your weekly of the 9th inst.
you say you have been reliably in
formed that the F. and L. U. in
vestigating committee, S. o.
ham, W. T. Lott and G. N. Wales,
have reported 500 600 of money
not given in to the Assessor by the
taxpayers of Audrain county. If
you will look at our report you will
see hat it differs from the above
statement. AS for US presenting
our bill to the County Court for
our services, that is something
new to ne. We have presented
our bill to the County F. and l.. U.
and it has been allowed and that
satisfies US. w. T. LOTT.
The report says that ''the county
records show s720, 1O1 escaped tax
alton in Audrain."
In reference to the County Court
being asked to pay the bill of the
investigating committee we do not
desire to be misunderstood. Our
information is to the effect that q
prominent f. and L.. U. man of
this county, in company with one
of the investigating committee,
came to Mexico and investigated
as to whether the bill could be col
lected from the County Court.
They had a right to do this. We
only state this as a fact and it will
not be denied. Our friend Mr.
Lott says this is ''news" to him.
The LEDGER is a newspaper, and
of course gives the news. That's
a way it has. As we understand
it, the County Alliance voted down
the proposition to ask the County
Court to pay the bill. The party
or parties who were acting in the
matter we presume were doing
what they did in good faith, but on
their own hook,
