1ATr. La, October "a. 1885,
Editor Collar Chroaicle:
l see in the issue of the CHRONI-
Gle of Oct. 25th that it is charged
that Breckenridge Starks is now in
ward FIVE in company with Henry
Wright,defying the authorities, and
that It is his intention to give HIM
self up, and claim the reward, and
use the money to defend himself.
Now Mr.. Editor, / wish to inform
the public that all this is an un-
qualified falsehood. Breckenridge
has never seen Wright, and has
never made nor offered to make
any such proposition as to surren-
der to the authorities and claim the
reward. Such reports should not
be circulated unproven, and 1
should like to know who the par
ties are that are circulating such
false reports If Sheriff Goode be-
lieves these reports to be true, l
should be glad for him to sift the
matter TO the bottom, as lawlessnes
should be put down and truth pre-
vail Respectfully,
CHBlsTIAN STARKs.
