desire 10 place my version Of the
affair; aud ask nothing further from
the public than an honest verdict,
founded upon the reasonableness OF
the two statements and the character
~ the evidence by which their truth
OF falrits is shown.
Any arrangements made or CONVEX
sstion held with the party mentioned
by said Silllven, rs he states, about one
claims in controversy, I know nothing
OF; and IL she told Vim (Which she mos,
emphaiically denies) that l was in any
manner interested in those reiocations
or was 10 have any interest in the
claims in any way whatever, she did 90
without my knowledge or consent.
Furthermore, had not spoken 10 or
communicated with the person named
for more than 30 days prior 10 the
evening of February ~, 1892; neither
had any knowledge or even the e
niotest suspicion that she contem,
plated the relocating Of those claims
or causing the same TO be done
until she entered my sffice on the
evening above stated, aud upon ex-
planning her business positively de-
clined TO have anything 10 do with 1t.
finally did consent 10 make out the
location notices, for which services
received cash payment.
On the evening al February 10Th
was asked II would show Silliven the
corners to the claims. l replied thai
was going up TO the John Boyle min,
on the following morning, aud il Sill
ven would be at the Mt. Goat tunnel
would point out to him such corner,
rs could be seen from the road. Ac'
cordingiy, ON the morning OF March

aud on the way I met s,illiven, who in,
formed me that he had already posted

who had offered to assist him in stalk

IA previously. questioned Silliven, ia
order To ascertain II he had been per
suaded against his will, aud warned
him that Cavanah would undoubtedly
resort to desperate measures and pos
sihly threaten him with imprisonment
Silliven, nothing dauntei by the pros
pect, seemed eager for the fray. He
wanted my opinion as TO the legality
of his acts and gave il, but d no
base that opinion upon the grounds
that he states. told him that beyond
question he had as perfect right u

call il the "Tom Pepper" AS F. p. Cav
anah possessed when, at the hour o.

doubtful circumstances. said Cavanaf
relocated the identical ground undel
the name OF the "Ruth !" and knowing
that Cavanah was never arrested, or a
least never for this offense, argued
that "Catspaw" sullivan would suffe
nothing worse than had his predeces
sor. But II would appear that
THE law condemns the woman

Who steals the common from the goose,
imagine hear some OF you say
we'll, all Of this reads smooth enough
but il Towne be the honest fellow b
would have you believe. why did b
assist even in the remotest sense ii
; this alleged questionable transaction
will tell you why. Towne had nj
ready played the part Of the good Sa
marian and had been repaid as wei
as prepaid by the grossest ingratitude
On or about Dec. 80, 1891, l in
formed s. III. McCarty that the annua
assessment upon a lode claim, whel
patent has been applied for, must b.
performed until such time as the lant
office receipt of payment for the LIANT
has been issued. McCarty did not q
first agree with me, but at length con
ceded that was right. He then asket
my permission to notify Cavanah o
this fact. After hesitating for mo
ment, between inclination and what
thought to be actually right, said
"sam, Cavanah has sought in ever,
conceivable manner to injure me ans
| know IL, but two wrongs do not max,
right; go aud tell him 10 kok afte
, the Bear Greek Cos claims; will no
relocate them myself. neither win in
, iluence others 10 do so, but warn hin
that there Is danger" MeCarty viii
not deny this--he cannot deny it ant
retain his own sell.respect. i did no
expect 10 receive any thanks for al
this, but did ex ect that the bite
luminosity that had been evinced to
wari me would in manner at leas
cease; hut such was not the case, fol
Cavanuh next charges me with having
written letters to his company DANA
cling 10 his reputation. Now, asisl,
from the utter impossihilty Of thil
charge, am in possession OF writer
proofs of its falsity, aud in addition Il
this will say hat have never writ
ten To any person or heretofore mad,
any statement wherein said Cavanah's
, nam WAS mentioned in connections
with a mining com pany. Had done
so IL would have been very wrong
most certainly his name never should
be so mentioned.
