Mr. Dowell say«: ‘‘When he [Dowell] first proposed to sell the S entinel ., his sur plus money was exhausted, and he was finan cially embarrassed by the frauds of S. E. May, Jesse Applegate and W. C. Griswold. II is well known to the readers of this paper [the S entinel ] that Samuel E. May, late Secretary of State, became a defaulter to this State iu upwards of ten thousand dollars and that Jesse Applegate and B. F. Dow ell were securities on the bond. M iy was and is wholly insolvent. Jesse Applegate was worth upwards of twenty thousand dol lars, but by a familiar trick, well known to lawyers aud judges after the May defalca tion, honest Jes-e transferred his property to his chil Iren, including one of the richest and best farming tracts of land in Douglas county, and upwards of a tbo isund acres of As to the other hypothesis, it does not be Fresh Drugs of all kinds kept constantly or hand come me further to speak.
