The Journal, "the dance went on
and after we had been repeatedly
told that we must pay for the lots
regardless of their value or any
misrepresentation made in their
sale TO us, we finally made another
offer of compromise, smaller than
our first proposition by an amount
commensurate with the difference in
value of the lot sold to MS and the
one actually conveyed by the deed.
The offer was peremptorily refused,
and right here, after our last offer
had been MADE and it had been re-
fused, is where the 'jail door" was
brought into view(1)and we were
told that IL we did not come to
terms Immediately we would be ar
rested. l want to state emphat-
cally that we never raised the offer
another cent, and another empty
"bluf" went on record. Instead of
the promised arrest the real estate
man after, all his refusals and un
principled threats came to our
terms and got his money, and thus
ended THAT "rascally job" to the
expressed satisfaction Of all con.
cerned, and as we thought, to the
satisfaction of those NOT concerned.
We have no desire to avoid CON-
pliance with the license laws of the
state, nor conceal any part of our
conduct in connection with their
requirements, which when we had
learned from our attorney, we at
once sought to meet, and on the
same terms that have been repeat
eddy granted to others, with the re-
specsability of whose business
think ours would compare favor
ably.
/ trust that this rehearsal of the
plain facts concerning the trouble
we have had here will lead the pub
lie to correct appreciation of the
motives governing our conduct, and
that it may help those interested to
see just how much rascality and
persecution has been practised it.
/ do not want to enter further in
to this deplorable controversy, and
hope that may not be compelled
to appear again.

The postoffice thieves demanded
only forty per cent of all money ex-

taken half. In this connection an
interesting story is being told of the
flop of Congressman Sibley who left
the Democrats and went over to the
Republicans. 1t has been discover
ed that he has the contract for fur
nishing money order blanks at about
three times as much as they are
worth. It's no wonder that he
