NOTICE.
o FAR AS $. BARCLAY, OR

so FAR AS :. BARCLAY, OR
- SIMEON BIS cautioning the public
against purchasing We notes held by me
against HIM, is a mere prctense on his
part to convey the idea tothe public that
II dCmand against him is not worthless.
| never have been offered five cents on
the dollar for said notes.
Again, those notes of $4,000 were due a
longtime p~revioustothe publishing of his
''notice of caution" which fact he careful
ly avoids mentioning. Every business
mani in the country we'll knows that to
buy a note after it is due that the pur-
chaser is at his own peril as to any offsets
that may come in against him. :. BIS
''notice of caution reminds me of the
desire of a half-brecd to be considered
pure blood. Again, Simeon b. writes as
follows in his "nOtice of caution :" THE
difficulty is simply that Mr.. Mcintosh
flattered himself that he had me cop
pered for several thousand dollars, but
failing to get away with it he no doubt
feels chagrined and disappointed, and
therefore resorts to advertising to give
vent to his Indignation"
In reply to the above portion of Mr..
Barclays "nOticc of caution" | will say,
that If his intention was to convey to
the public the impression h a had ever
attempted to SWindle or dcfraud him in
any ann whatever, | pronounce it a
villainOus falsehOOd. a few words. as to
those notes | mold against :. b.. The first,
of $4,000, matured on the LIST of last Sep
TENDER, n was presented to Mr.. Barclay
for payment by Hiram Cook, of Sacra-
mentO. Mr.. Barclay could not cash il,
but would make it all right with me. MIR.
Barclay, on the 9th of September, wrote
me n letter, proposing to secure the pay
ment of this note with stocks that he
held in the Nevada Transportation Com
pany. | still have a copy OF a letter that
/ wrote him, declining his proposition,
giving my reasons hat did not consider
IT worth the paper upon which it was
written. The other note, OF $1,000, ma
turcd last November, was put inthe ban
of d. O. Mills 4 Co. by f. Dremcyer for
collection, they sending it to the bank of
John \. Paxton, at Eureka, Nevada, and
he -. b. promised to pay it as o as it
matured. but failed TODD So, and the note
was returned to ID. q. NJ. Il Co. The pub
lie are referred to Hiram Cook, II. O..
Mills & Co.. and John \. Paxton, as to
claimed that he had any offset WHAT
SOENER AGAINST THOSE NOTES.
l nave n letter in my possession writ
ten by Mr.. Barclay, in which he boasts of
having ms property out of my reach, and
that If | should ever bring nit against
MN l would have my W costs To pay.
Hence his notice of caution with all its
~lalSehoodS, of having offsets against the
notes | hold against him.. In order to
save n further controversy with Mr.. f.,
anu give nm cllalcc TO lrONethc ruth
fulncSS of his "notice of caution" also to
satisfy the public who is inclined to act
the rascal in this matter, Mr.. Barclay or
myself, | therefore make this PROPOSE
tlon: That we both give good and valid
ponds-he, :. b., to pay me one hundred
cents on the dollar for my demands
against him, and | to pay him at the
same rate for all legal offsets that he
may nave against me. Or | will settle as
above stated without bonds, and am
prepared to make it coin immediately.
Again, those notes | hold against :. B..
are drawing interest at the rate of one
per cent per month. Does his offsets
draw interest. | think not, Then, ac-
cordlng to his own statement, he is paw
my me interest on his own money. If
what he states i'll his notice of caution is
not false, then he can come o-morroW
with his legal offsets and redeem his
notes without the exchange of a dollar.
