paper, had printed several legal notices for
the city. Tho Times came back at the street
car organ by SAYING that The Post had been
designated tho official organ OF the Fed
eral government for printing bankrupt
notices. and then hinted why This Pest had

that Mr. MaoGregor secured this business

matter Mt all. would have attempted TO secure
IL for the Houston Times, republican paper
