A REPLY TO MR.. DAVENPORT.
The American Press Association Re.
sents the Charge of Extortion and
Presents Some Facts.

To the Editor
In a published statement in the issue
c. II. Davenport says the recent bank
ruptcy petition against the Reformer Pub
fishing Company was simply a sort Of
blackmail attempt to scare into payment
of a claim. of which at least fiVe-siXths
was cheat"
AS one of the parties to the petition. We
deem ii due our business interests in Yer
mont most emphatically to deny both the
tended TO apply to us. and to brand them
as utterly false and without foundation.
The major portion of our claim against
the former Reformer Publishing Company
consisted of two items, one. a promissory
note given by c. II. Davenport. president
many weary months ago, and the second
check upon one of your local banks is
sued by the same president when he had
no FUNDS on deposit with which to meet
II. These documents bear upon their face
the evidence of a just Indebtedness so
far as they go. and for the balance of our
claim we possess Mr.. Davenport's written
assurances of its correctness. together
with an indefinite number of his promises
to pay.
The proceedings against the CORPORATION
We're witt rawn because Of the payment
10 the petitioners Of 20 per cent of their
claims. OF which Mr.. Davenport asserted
hNe-siNths was cheat" and certain of
the legal costs incurred
This compromise was agreed to bv tba.
Undersigned, not that there was the Pc
motest doubt of obtaining. at least a iudc-
