whether or not a petition was ever
in circulation favOring the removal
OF the Colfax postoffice from it's pres
ent location to point near the depot.
We have never seen such a petition,
as we stated last week, but we have
the word of two gentlemen. whose
veracity Is unquestioned, that one OF
them was approached and asked to
sign petition or approve of Its re-
moval. He refused to do 80. and the
party who approached him departed.
Later he returned, and asked that
this same person mail a letter on the
train addressed to the postoffice de-
partinent at Washington. stating
that he feared il 1t was mailed in the
postoffice 1t might not reach it's des-
tinati0n! The petition may not have
been circulated. but something very
similar has evidently been passed
around among those favoring the
scheme.
