 The Bisbee Miner after attempting to islander Mark Smith with false hood to the effect that he at one time endorsed joint statehood, thus whind lingly backs away from the lie, after being caught with the goods on him
 Tn long signed statement Senator Ives of Tucson denies that he receiv- cd telegram from Mark Smith while president of the council to secure the passage of a resolution that the peo- pie of Arizona would accept joInC statehood under certain conditions. A denial by Mark Smith that he sent such a telegram would be more 10 the point"
 And this, too, in the face of the l telegram from Mark Smith to Hon. B. A Packard at tbe time the joint | statehood matter vas under consid- eration by the council of the Twenty | second legislature Packard wired Mark Smith and asked if he had ad- vised the endorsement of joint state | hood, under conditions.

 by honest means aud they also knov
 that the action of ..if Ross, as thei 5 attorney, was honorable in every war
