A special dispatch to the Globe
says: Attorney Gen.

De Almond are gathering data
upon which to base the institution
of proceedings in the federal court
of claims for recovery of 50, 500, 900
said to be due to the state and to
individuals from the national gov
eminent. Many of these claims,
1t is held, will prove to be invalid,
because of being presented in be-
half of organizations which really
had no existance as actual organi-
cations formed for or participate
ing in any effort to either sup
press the rebellion or prevent

for supplies furnished, and pay

Announcement.

Having purchased the plant and
business of the Montgomery Trib-
une, it becomes our duty to make
an announcement to the citizens
of the county. We wish to state
that upon a thorough %investiga-
ton of the books and records of
the Office that we find it in a splen-
did financial condition and doing
an excellent business. A condi-
ton that reflects credit upon the
retiring publisher, Mr.. Wahrer,
and speaks highly of the newspa-
per opportunity here.
There will be no change in the
political policy of the TRIBUNE.
1t will be the earnest purpose of
the writer to make as good a coun-
ty paper as possible with the
means at his command.
The TRIBUNE will be found al
ways ready to champion the right,
as we see the right, and yer ready
to devote its influence to the up
building of the community, or the
promotion of any enterprise that
appears to be for the general good
of the people.
We trust that our efforts may
meet your approval and support.
Respectfully yours,
CHAS. w. GURNEY.

A Business Change.

Our readers will no doubt be
surprised this week to learn that
the undersigned present owper of
the TRIBUNE has disposed of the
business, plant, good will, ETC., of
the paper to Nh. Chas. w. Quincy,
of Chicago, a successful expert
enced newspaper man. In making
this change we desire to say that
it was not made BECAUSE the bust
ness has not been satisfactory to
us, but on the contrary the plant
has been a good investment
and the dividends lave been far
beyond the estimation we put up-
on it in the start. We make this
change for private or purely per-
sonal reasons.
All business up to and includ-
ing May 18th, 1907, goes to the
undersigned, and all from that date
on belongs to the new owner, Mr..
Quincy. All subscription accounts
are the property of the new owner.
In this connection we sincerely
thank all for their liberal patron
age and courteous treatment in
the past, and ssure them that
while memory lasts and as long
as life, we shall look back with
pleasure upon the few short
months that we spent with the
people of Montgomery, and trust
the relations between them and
our may be equally
pleasant. Very truly,
FERD. WAHRER.
