leading statements that have been
sent to, the press of this and SUI
rounding states with reference to his
alleged financial embarrassment re-
sulting in the sheriff OF Garrett coun.
ty, Maryland, Selling property Of Mr..
McGraw to satisfy numerous creditors
the said property to be offered at
public sale. The sale to include per.
sonal property, live stock and many
acres Of real estate.
The stories in addition to giving
Col. McGraw much unpleasant noto'
riety also does him an injustice.
The facts Of the matter are, say
his friends. some property OF Col Nc.
Graw in Garrett county, Maryland
was seized by means Of a non.resi.
dent attachment secured by the Uni.
on Trust Company OF parkersburs,
acting as trustee for the Camden heir
and is the outgrowth Of some litiga.
ton that has been in the Jefferson
courts for the past two years between
these heirs and Col. McGraw over the
ownership OF what is known as the
Dewing land. By the plea that they
could not obtain justice in Jefferson
county the nonresident attachment
was secured and the property in
Maryland seized. There Is no finan,
cial embarrassment as the entire
amount In controversy amounts to
less than $4,000. The whole matter
simply amounts to one litigant taking
snap judgment on another and the
misleading publications made OF the
case have been manifestly unfair and
did Col. McGraw a rank injustice.

LYLE ABBOTT LEAVES ON
 HIS ANNUAL VACATION
Sooon Riding an "Hard!y AbeIson' Left Yesterday in the Early Hours for Mysterious Trip
 North

Lyle Abbot sporting editor. reporter and several other more useful things around the Republican News Room. left yesterady morning astride his trusty motorcycle for the northern part of the state. on his annual vaca- ton.
 AhbotS direct destination is some what of mystery. He claimed Pres colt was the first stop and that if his gas lasted and several other things didn't happen, he would continue on to the Canyon. But there is a doubt if he ever gets that far. The good looks and Winsome maNnerS of a young lady or so in that northern cline are eX- DeCted to prove somewhat of an at traction, and as he has two whole weeks to consume, it is an even bet around these diggings that the only way he will see the slash across Na- lures face will be by ascending some high mountains or taking a little pleasure trip in an aeroplane.
 In the meantime, the sport page is being entrusted to more or less ineX- perienced hands and although it is eX- pected to suffer, hopes are held out that it won't entirely succumb.

 Bishop Lambuth, who is in charge of the mission work of his denomina- tion in Central Africa, was stationed but three weeks journey from Dan Crawford, whose visit to Phoenix last year is remembered.
