ITO the Editor: J. r. c. Jones. who
complains through your paper that ne had
been double crossed by Mr.. :. EmanUeIs,
Of Vancouver, r. G. and myself. VIII keep
quiet after he peruses these lines.
y. r. G. Jones on the ith of July last
got mp an excursion TO Seattle on the
steamer Yosemite. on which ne owes the
s2S7. To give him chance 10 pay this
debt and to make some money besides.
Commodore Irving agreed 70 charter him
the steamer Islander for s625. with the
strict understanding that the money
should be paid TWO days before the boat
left Victoria for Vancouver 10 take the
excurssonists. The money not being forth
coming. Capt. Irving notified Jones that
the excursion was of.
II was selling tickets and berths for
the excursion, and al that time had over
500 worth OF steamer tickets sold. Eman-
uels offered 10 come 10 Jones assistance
by putting up the balance Of the charter
morning by Capt. Rudlin, of the steamer
Charmer. that the offer came too late, as
il was impossible to get the boat ready
10 be here on time. Having definite word
about the steamer Mr.. Emanuels rushed
20 the Canadian Pacific railway passenger
Office and arranged for an excursion train
to leave in the evening. In the meantime
the purchasers of steamer Sickets rushed
into my store TO get their money refunded
/ refunded all the tickets and berth checks
Of everybody who purchased them from
me OF course. nearly all Of them bought
Canadian Pacific railroad excursion tick
cts instead
Jones SAYS that no money from the
sale OF tickets or berths was turned over
TO him. This is quite true. for | would
have made a nice fool Of myself by doing
so, after receiving word from Capt. lrv-
ing that the excursion was off Would ne
have refunded the money 20 the public
Another gentleman who sold tickets for
Jones unfortunately turned over the pro-
ceeds OF the sale amounting 10 SIS, 10 him.
Besides Jones sold quantity or tickets
himself and as soon as he heard that the
steamer Islander was not coming, ne took
the tram car for New Westminster. and
skipped across the border, leaving many
mourning wouid-be excursionists. Now,
IL Jones thinks he was entitled 70 any
money. why did ne not come around ana
claim his dues?
ssThe above sets forth the matter in its
true light. and / trust. that with your
characteristic fairness, and in justice 10
myself and others interested, you VIII pup
