Your Fusionist is an animal that is
not very well off in the way of fangs-
like certain other animals, he is not de-

never resorts to them until cornered-

bold.

THE TALE OF WOE.
In his complaint the plaintiff makes
the following allegations:
That the plaintiff was duly organic
ed corporation on February 18th, 1899.
that the joint committee on printing was
duly elected and had entered on the
discharge of its duty at that date: that
the General Assembly passed Il public
printing act; that pursuant to the act
the committee advertised for bids and
that Clyde X. Hoey told plaintiffs at
rorney there were no specifications; that
bids were submitted and that of Barnes
Brothers was found to be the lowest.
that the committee found the plaintiffs
work good and that they were respon-
sible: that subcommittee had been
appointed to draw the contract and
that matter to be printed had actually
been sent to plaintiff: that j. y. Hold
ing had drawn contract: that planl-
tiff objected to the contract as unreason-
able and asked for new contract To
be Drawn and it was drawn and reject
ed by committee; compromise was
then submitted by plaintiff which was
rejected; an hour for new bids was set
and the committee did not meet to re-
ceive bids at that hour: that the colt
tract authorized by the General Assem-
bly, infringed plaintiffs rights; that
Cyrus Thompson refuses to deliver mat
ter to be printed to plaintiffs: that joint
committee and Edwards and Broughton
and e. NJ Uzzell had without lawful
authority signed a contract; that several
members of the joint committee had
said since that plaintiff was the lowest
bidder and favored giving him the
printing.

tiff demands:

titled to do the public printing for the

partments, charitable and penal insiifn-
