SQUIRE DENIES IT.
Says He Never offered Attorney Gen
eral a Bride.


New York, May 9.-The Press says:
In statement to the Press last night
Charles b. Squire said:
If Attorney General Monnett in
his statement to the court of Ohio, said
that | offered him bride as represent
ing the three men he mentions, il is
absolutely and unqualifiedly false
Il know nothing about the statement
you say that the attorney general has
made, but he surely could not have said
l offered him a bride of 100000, or any
other sum. as representing the Stand
ard Oil company, or anybody else I
never offered a man a bride in my life
and if anybody says ! did. he tells an
untruth.
What l have said before is true. 1
have been approached by a promoter
of schemes, and warned the attorney
general TO beware of him. | do not
believe the man in question ever had
any connection with the Standard oil
company, or represented il any way
in his Office. He was merely fishing
in the hope of getting something for
himself. l thought at the time he
might have been representing the
Standard, and that is why l warned
Monnett to keep away from, and by
all means not to resign or drop the
prosecution, as the talk would be that
he had been bribed.
Later l learned that the man had
no connection with the Standard Oil
company; that he was a promoter, and
had evidently tried to approach the
attorney general merely on his own
hook, and without any authorization
whatever from the Standard Oil COM
pany.
Il cannot understand why the attor
ney general-if he did so-could say
1t is absurd and untrue. Contrary is
the case. / warned him to beware of
certain persons that might possibly
lead him into a trap"

Cattle.

Dave Downing. the well-known
sTtocknIan, reports that there never
were brighter prospects for stockmen
than at present. Though a heavy
owner of stock in the state. Mr.. Down
ing IS an extensive dealer in livestock
and has been in correspondence with
stockmen all over the state. The gen.
eral report is that stock has wintered
nnely and that the grass has started in
line shape, so that by early summer
most of the cattle will be good beef.
Never in the history of the state has
there been such a call for beef as at
the present time. Already stock-buy-
ers are fiOcking to Utah and Offering
fancy prices for beef cattle. Two from
Colorado made their advent yesterday.
Mr.. John Age of Wolcott and Frank

announced the entrance fees as being
81 for professionals and 80 cents for
