souri, Pacific. WaRgener declared that he
had never heard Of the case and knew
nothing about the affair. But Waters
pressed him SO closely that n compromise

Joe then wrote To his client, inclosing half
of the sum received, saying that he had
settled with the Missouri Pacific.
His client wrote back that he was salts
fed with the amount received, but it

loss some merchant vessel crossing TO St
