la connection with the above II may lie
we'll to give history II the case. The
! rccori shows that suit was h ell against
Mr.. Ca,ron on the agreement set forth in
the above letter on February 3, 1893,
AMI was net for trial Jun. 20, 1888, but
did no, com. up until December Is, 1898,
when the Judgment was conf-ssed. Al
! the time II the Judgment Mr.. Catron
handel the solicitor general an order
signed by Mr. Berariin-lli which was
turned over IA the first National bank
to he cr-iii-d Ia the territory ss som as

THIS wss the only reason why the judg-

rendered. and the only reason hat II WAS
ever allowed 10 ~ IA sui, Was that Mr.
H-rariln.lli was unfortunate In his
other business with the territory. The
territory Ow-'i him, and he owed the ter

There il, however. = little popularity
about the transaction. This debt was
