MIR. SIMON REPLIES
To the Letter of Mr.. Rohrbach OF
xNiIfreS

To the Letter of Mr.. Rohrbach on
Among horsemen yesterday there was
considerable discussion on the merits OF
the controversy inaugurated by Abe
Rohrbach, of Saltwater, concerning
the allegation made that A. II. Simon,
the Well-known jeweler of this city, had
claimed to be part owner of the PAGER
Mike Wilkes, and therefore authorized
to make arrangements for match with
any other PAGER, barring Johnston, for
any sum from $1,000 to $1,000. Mr.. 81
mon was naturally somewhat IncenSed
against ROhrbach for his publication,
and did not think the latter had pur-
sued proper course in the matter. II
have never claimed any part ownership
in Wilkes" said Mr.. Simon, 'and the
statement in Mr.. Rohrbach's card to
that effect was entirely gratuitous and
undeserved by me. TO be sure. took
an interest in seeing Abe get to the
front W it'll his horse, which regarded
as one of the best Of his class in the
world, and my interest in the matter
was purely an unSelfiSh one. In my
talks with Rohrbach | always endeav-
ored to impress upon him the fact that
L
ests in any way / would take pleasure
in doing it, but neither in public nor
private have l ever sought to
even give the impression that
was personally interested in the horse.
People might have drawn the inference
from my efforts to make a match that
was concerned with ROhrbach, but GER
tainly no such idea ever emanated from
me directly OF indirectly. If Mr.. Rohr-
bach felt himself aggrieved by the pub
LEGATION in the GLOBE of the statement
that had gone to Chicago to arrange
match between Wilkes and some other
PAGER, and the impression was conveyed
that | was part owner, it was the duty
of Rohrbach to consult me personally
before rushing into printin an endeavor
to belittle me before the community. L
feel that this explanation is due from
me to set me right before the public,
and, incidentally 1 will say that previous
to my trip to Chicago | was visited by
Rohrbach, who invested me with
plenary powers to make arrangements
for such match, and the affair was not
consummated solely because of my
failure to see the party with whom l
desired to negotiate. That is all there
is IN this matter, and the action taken
by Rohrbach, to say the least of it, was
a hasty and ill-advised one.
