In October 1892, Mercer's paper, the Northwestern Live Stock Journal, published George Dunning's "Confession." In response, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association used the charge of non-payment of the four-year-old disputed notes to shut down operations and confiscate copies of the paper. Mercer had already paid two of the notes before the dispute took place.
