In last week's issue of the Enter prise, I am reported as having been arrested, as a result of our district school troubles.

Its import is to force my signature to an order In favor of M. Harlan, to draw the school funds now in the county treasurer's hands, belonging to this district. The reasons for my course of action in this matter will be given at the proper time and place. J. S.
