Our statement IN the issue OF the
9th inst. concerning Mr.. Ammon's or
der addressed to B. f. Poole, is reit-
Grated. The editor OF the Mud Geyser
well knew that our statement was cor
rect when in his last issue he charged
that the story was false and invented
in this office. We have no desire to
~censnre Mr.. Ammon unnwarrantedly,
as enough can be cited which no one
doubts. Anyone who questions the
~veracity of our statement may call
upon Mr.. Poole and find to their own
satisfaction that the editor OF the Gey-
ser is an unmitigated liar.
