 February, 1915. This time the board was favored with number of bids and selected the one of the Union Trust Company of Chicago to pur- chase the bonds on exactly the same basis that Keeler Brothers turned in their check for yesterday
 After the Union Trust Compaf1y was granted the privilege of purchas- ing the bonds they were submitted to their attorneys who failed to approve them. It is understooc that this con- cern received several letters from Prescott knocking" the bonds and the financial integrity of the county. The Chicago firm then notified the board last August that it would be impossible for them to purchase the bonds and that they would assign their rights to the Denver concern with whom the Commercial Trust had arranged to take the issue.
 In the meantime the board receiv- ed numerous proposals from men and companies ali over the United States, each time they refusing the offers l because the proposers asked too large premium either to buy the bonds or take on option and sell them to other parties. About two weeks ago word came from the Denver concern that they would look into the proposition thoroughly and determine what could be done. A short time later repre- sentative of Keeler Brothers arrived in Prescott and with Cashier c. l.. Meany of the Commercial Trust Com pany, Assistant County Attorney J.
 H. Morgan and number of others
 including Clerk Belcher and the mem bers of the board of supervisors every
 question that could possibly raise a
 doubt in the minds of the purchasers
 was threshed out and all matters ot
 vital importance settled.
 Following the meeting some time
 ago when the board had been practi-
 cally assured that the bonds would
 be taken the receipt of the glad tid-
 ings was awaited patiently by every
 body concerned for it had looked at
 one time like the bonds would mature
 in the hands of the county before
 they would be sold.
 With the arrival of the letter at the board of supervisors yesterday and
 the check on the Prescott National
 Bank signed by Fredericks at five
 minutes of l2 o'clock the news was ready for the city and county that Yavapai is to have a new court house in the course of the next year. The , Prescott National received the draft from Keeler Brothers and forwarded ; the bonds - them immediately. 7 The letter from Keeler Brothers to the board of supervisors is very , interesting and it is as follows: ' MT. R. T. Bclchcr,
 "Yavapai County Clerk,
 Prescott, Arizona.
 | Cur Dear Mir. Belcher:
 l You have received over Q period , of two years past, many letters con : corning $250,000 court house bonds oi your county, but this we take it will l, be the last letter, and we hope the
 most pleasant and satisfactory one oi , them all.
 "The news which we will convey tc you is that the money in payment fol , the bonds was turned over to the , Denver correspondent of the Prescott bank today, and no doubt at thi; time you have already been apprised . of the good news.
 , There is not much additional to say, other than that we hope that you and the board have most excellent . good luck with the building, and il may serve as a memorial for the ef' forts put forth by you and the board , first in the wonderful attempts made , to market the bonds and then be- 7 cause of the amount of thought and combined ability put into the build . ing. We, as you know, feel very friendly to your office and appreciate greatly the loyal assistance which , you extended in getting the bond rec ord in shape for the attorneys and
 allowing the completion of the deal At this distance and knowing ol , the laws which have recently been , put into effect in your State, we can not. send you the kind of token oi , appreciation which we have in mind , and which might serve to rejuvenatc . your spirits, but if instead of migrat' 7 ing to Mexico, you ever conclude to , come to Denver, do not hesitate to call on us, because it would be a 5 pleasure to the writer to show you this good city of ours, of course Tn a } perfectly proper way.
 . With many kind wishes we beg , to remain,
 Yours very truly,
