YUMA, Ariz.. Oct. 3rd, 1895.

YUMA, Ariz.. Oct. 3rd, 1895. EDITOR SENTINEL:
 In an article in the SENTINEL in 8 recent issue, headed "A Would-be Seducer," I wish to state through your columns that your informant deliberately and maliciously lied about me and the story circulated in this city by one Bill Smith was false in every particular.
 1 first met Smith out in the Colo rado desert. He came to our camp, which comprised myself and wife and Grace Dement,. Learning I was a stranger to the desert he offered to guide u@ across and accepted his service. My wife and I shortly af- terward noticed that Grace was get ting quite intimate with Smith. We gently reprimanded her regarding the intimacy, but to no use. Grace being only b years old and very headstrong l concluded the best thing for me to do was to dispense with Smith ser vices, which I did. He left camp at once and the following day overlook us with a lead horse. While in camp at noon he went out as we sup posed to see his horses. In a short time we discovered the absence of Grace and on being called she failed to answer. 1 went into the mesquite which is quite thick whereabouts ( Seven Wells) to where the horses had been tethered and I found both horses gone and on investigation I found that Smith and Grace had eloped.
 l never made any "improner" ad- vances toward the girl and thoughts of an immoral nature never crossed my mind. She was given in our charge by her father at Stockton, with the understanding that she was to remain with us until she had reached the age of IS years, and since she has been a member of our family l had always been good and kind to her.
 if l had done anything immoral or of criminal nature why did the pair not await my arrival and have me arrested, instead as soon as the busi- ness for which they came here to transact was finished they took their departure for Ogilby, and I am 1n- formed that Bill Smith left her there and went to San Bernardino.
 l wish to again state that the vile | and degrading stories circulated in | this village by Bil Smith are without | one iota of truth in them and that I | will yet prove my assertion.
 J. M. CLARK.
