have to say: 1 have reputation
among the business men of Albany, l
think, of keeping my word, paying my
debts promptly, and attending strictly to
my business and the business entrusted
to me. This contemplate cur styling
himself "Marks the Lawyer" has at
tempted to make light of my business.
l call attention to him as being liar
and an envious contemplate shy
ter who having but little business
of his own finds time to enviously
make fun of his neighbors. My ad-
vertisements are my own business-the
court officers and records verify them.
Every one here knows that | am secre-
tary of the Democrat County Central
Committee of this county. AL my ac-
quaintances know however that / am
NOT partizan, in the strict sense Of that
term, and marks" knowingly lied con-
cerning my politics. 1 care nothing
about a mans politics-the point is does
he pay his debts-is he q man of honor?
l have always been true to every conf
dence placed in me.
Among my clients inAlbany are some of
its wealthiest business men who cannot
be influenced by such shysters as this
fellow Marks / have always kept
my record clean. was born at Hunts

two departments OF the University OF
that state, the last degree, that of L. l..
B. being received in 1882. After ac-
ceptibly filling the office of City Attorney
at Huntsville for one year, in 1888,
moved to Heppner, Oregon, from whence
l came here. left no debts behind and
the good will and friendship of all, ex-
cepting probably few renegades or
shysters like marks" whose friendship
l neither care for nor desire. No one
can truthly say anything against my pri-
vate character nor my integrity as an at
torney, and ii Marks or any other man
so insinuates, he is liar and dirty
coward.
This fellow may say he was only in-
tending a little joke, but it is contempt
ible and little business and was plain to
be seen intended for me, as no other
lawyer here has lately had receiver ap-
pointed.
l am amply able at all times to defend
my name or business, and while a peace
full citizen, / consider it duty | owe to
lawer styling himself Marks" as a liar
and contemplate scribbler.
