Father Hugh Quigley is trying hard to nullify the deed to 20 acres by sending back the ticket of sale granted to Mr. Fitzpatrick by the State. No deed is out yet. Quigley was supposed to pay $300 to the State to enable Fitzpatrick to get a deed to 80 acres, of which Fitzpatrick would give a deed of 20 acres when said sum would be paid. As none of these conditions have been fulfilled, and whatever title Fitzpatrick gave to Quigley has been lawfully returned, lawyer Gray thinks that Lefevere's deed is null and void. If Pourret must get the Sisters, he cannot depend on this property. For that purpose he intends to open a subscription in the spring. Father Charles L. Deceuninck 's repeated visits to the Rapids have caused more harm than good to religion. He lied about John King's character, whose conduct according to Father Henry Rievers was without blame. He ran down the missionschool of 56 scholars, slandered Pourret, did not say Mass the whole week, was the laughing stock in Pat Walsh's grocery by whiskey drinkers, scared Father Van Erp away. Deceuninck denies all charges and blames Pourret. Father Rievers will be at him for going to Cascade, etc. Rievers is at Pourret's house as witness to truth of his statements. Pourret is better paid than last quarter. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
