a Denial

E WEl-eas, , certain rumOr has gained
scurrtncy that Mr.. William Walker, ST.,
Tor bis son. Jimmy, had stolen and brand
I ed one Of ny cattle and settlement was
demanded of them by myself.
) In defense Of the good name Of a neigh
Dor and friend, or his son, I make this
statement in denial of this false report
and put ihe SANDER to rest. The facts
are as follows:
Mr.. Walker's cattle and my own run
on the Jane range and frequently get
mixed; and besides this, sold Mr. Wal
ker last spring a bunch Of cattle some Of
which resemble those Of mine.
While branding cattle about Thanks
giving dal, Jimmie Walker, in the alb
sence oI MS father, by mistake branded
one of lmy calves. When the circum-
stance gas discovered, Mr.. Walker Of
fered ID pay for the animal. But know
ing that there was no intention on the
l,s-rtreSsny neighbor to do me any wrong
/ in the natter, said 1t was all right and so
the inter was adjusted.
vii also say that the hair on the an
imaf a spring calf was long and my
mark was dim and the mistake was easily
made In branding 30 head Of cattle. Be
sides this Mr.. Walker offered to turn
over the animal to me or pay for the
SANE Of his own accord, as I might pre-
fer and 1 very willingly accepted the
Latter proposition without any thought
Ef froBg being intended; and regret
Exceedingly that such a false report as
has gone abroad should be believed by
any one. The story as told against Mr..
Walkers good name is maliciously false.
