TIE IIOwARD.-TORREY CATTLE
BUSINESS.

We have received a lengthy letter
from Mr.. +. NJ. Torrey in regard to
Mr.. Towards statement of last week
Mr.. Torrcy says Howard was arrested
and produces the proof by giving the
written testimony of the officer making
the arrest, +. ID. Giddings. Torrcy
saws that he saw Howard at the Fair in
LIN Fall of 81 and Howard promised
to look at the cattle and write him what
he would do. This he did as follows
II have seen the cattle and will give
YOU twelve dollars apiece. VIII leave
the money where you say
Mr.. Torrey continues:
"Mr. Howard took the cattle but failed to
leave the money where ! said and he kept
right on failing to leave it where | said con-
tinuously about year and half, when con-
Guiding that he meant to beat me out of the
cattle put the claim into the hands OF an
attorney. He took the view that the cattle
were mine, and on one day in March. last, he
caused Mr.. Howard to take the same view.
He dared not face the dear and difficult music
of the courts on that point, but gave Mr.. My
ron Morse of Factory Point mortgage or
bill of sale of his horse and he then accepted
an order for the amount of my claim, prnci-
pal. interest and taxable costs. Now, whose
article is misleading and false, the Heraids
or Towards? The former contains the two
truths that Howard was arrested and settled
by mortgaging his horse, the latter denies both
of these, claiming 4 civil suit and contains
two lies. The question of ownership Is fine
and not decided. Bnt as Howard declined to
fight when we offered him battle on that point
but gracefully succmbed, like a little man. y
it would seem that he should not now ''go
back of the officers returns but should be
more modest, less talkative, and cool his fever
ed brow
rive understand that all action of
trover is a civil suit, although it may run
against the body, so Mr.. Howard may
not have lied as charged. However, we
know nothing about this case and will
not be mixed up with it. SO let this be
the last of it. Ed. Sitter.
