The MADISONlAN correspondent at
! Red Bluff is little hard on a certain
y Irish gentleman from France. | for
9 one will defend him, to certain ex-
/ tent, for it is reported that he once had
Il wealth in the state of Colorado and
Il through bad management went to the
g wall. which probably made him sort OF
II a crank in mining matters. He has
been in our midst about 20 months and
i has to his credit five or six law suits
10 and several fisticuffs. will add he
u won one suit out of five or six which
n was appealed to higher court.
Now Mr.. Red Bluff correspondent
IS why not give this mining expert
