So%ada for the faithful and honest
Ua-in of our duties, as also ac-
fountable to said Guarantee Company
foT tbe proper care of all company pro-

aaIso the good behaviour of ourselves

account to you. I will give them to
YOU briefly as follows: January 10,
Hawley entered my Office and accosted
me as follows: you have no company
tools on your rancho, eh ?" My answer
was mot that am aware of. He re-
piled "you are a Cd id thief and
liar, and 1 will prove you SUCH" I then
started out to have warrant issued for
his arrest for abusive language.
/ was gone probably an hour,
when returned to the Office to attend to
some train work As entered the office
Twas followed by the said Hawley, who
Immediately commenced to take down
my hooks and papers belonging to two
separate and dictinct companies, and
which represented as their bonded
agent. then asked him for his author
ity for his actions and his reply was that
if l did not shut my G. d mouth he
would throw me ont of my Office. He
then commenced mixing up my unfn-
ished monthly acCountsof the company, |
which accounts he was toe ignorant to |
interpret. After he had torn all nv |
books from their places l demanded his
authority again, telling him that if he
sould show me authority from
Mr.. Horner, Mr.. Bancroft, auditor
or travelling auditor, or any officer
Of the company | would gentlemanIy
show him anything in my office.
He used abusive language and still per-
sisted III his vile abuse and refusal to
show me any authority, and | then
commenced taking from him the books |
and papers he was mixing I'D and |
which caused both the auditor and |
myself time and labor to readjust again.
