To ID. MCPHERSON.

Please take notice,that the war is on,
and on to the bitter end and by your
bringing.
Through the columns of the Enquirer
of this city you have by innuendo ac-
cused me of having committed such
hienous crimes in the line of my bust
Gess as ought to send the perpetrator
to the galloWs. All of your accusations
l say again are FALSE and they will
be so proven.
You ask me to "please explain to the
public what disposition you made of
the horse that was killed in your
slaughter yard; and the big jawed COW
with It's eye out in the same side, that
you drove in from the Lake Bottoms. %
Here is the truth about these animals
which [ set forth before the public,
not to satisfy you personally, but to
satisfy the public, my customers, some
of whom may have been misled by
your published false and cOwardly
accusations against me. AS to the
horse here is DR.. Aliens affidavit. 1t
is self-eXplanatory.

''MR. PHIL. SPECKART:
'DEAR SIR:-In March of this year
my sorrel driving horse got the tine of
pitchfork stuck in the knee joint of
his left hind leg, producing a painful,
swollen and stiff joint.
81 offered $4,000 to anyone who
would cure him as he was in perfect
health otherwise and very valuable
animal, No one took the offer. so l de-
cided to haYe him killed.
81 asked YOU to kill the horse for me
and bring me the injured joint as L
had sold it to young man here who is
studying veterinary surgery.
"You can make what use you wish
of the above statement.
SAMUEL II. ALLEN, M. D."
The joint was delivered to David
Loveless. Here is his statement:
"This is to certify that did some
time in April, buy the fractured leg of
DR. Aliens sorrel horse. | gave DR..
Allen $500 for it to dissect, as l am
studying the veterinary or horse doctor
business.
DAVID LOVELESs."
The skin was sold TO H. Halthusen
s. Co., of Salt Lake. The balance of
the ca1cass was dumped with the bal
ance of the refuse of my slaugh ter
yard,
THAT ''BIG JAWED COW"
has not been killed and eaten by the
poor as you, Mr.. MCPHERSON, insinu-
ate, l bought the animal for specula.
ton and not for beef as you attempted
to do. The animal is aliye and we'll
today.
But here is the affidavit of the man
from whom / bought her:
Provo CITY, Utah, June %, 1895.
"This is to certify that have sold to
Mr.. Speckart on Tuesday June 4, 1895,
one spotted COW also one red mich
cow and calf. Mr.. Mcpherson had
seen the same COWS and told me that If
l would wait for the pay until he had
killed her he would take her-I told
him that | needed the money at once
and could not wait for the pay, Mr..
Speckart came out and told me that he
did not intend to kill either of the
cows, he would buy them as specula-
ton. Today | was called upon by
Mr.. Speckart to go and see if che two
COWS were alive. They are both alive
and in the pasture about one and one
half miles southeast of this city. The
so-called big jaw was the effect of
brulse inflicted with club by the
party previously owning her.
