TWO CLAIM SAME WARRANT.

A warrant issued by the city many
years ago to Chambers q Co., in
payment for merchandise is the bone
of contention between the two part
ners to the firm Henry and Sam
Chambers, brothers. Both of the
brothers have long since left Pull
man, but upon the recent call of the
city treasurer for the warrant in
question both wrote that the paper
was his private property and that he
desired payment to be made to him
individually. Neither, however, can
produce the warrant and the city
treasurer has taken the stand that
he will make payment to the brother
who produces the goods, The war
rant was in the sum of 500, with
a nice bunch of accrued interest.

one that appeals to him, and for
which he is specially fitted, so
that whilst the people of this vi
