Attorney Holton and Marshal Milli-
kan. They declare that everybody will
now understand that Anderson's "a
tack on Butler of few days ago was
inspired by his failure to obtain 100.

whatever about any agreement YER
bal or written to give Anderson some
thing equally as good when he did
not get the collectorship and assert

by Judge H. G.. Ewart, who they say
