After passing few words | said to
him, 4 have been waiting to talk to
you for quite while, about the tress-
pass on my lands at Westwater and
driving my cattle Here consider
able conversation took place which
was given by Harris which could not
be heard by the writer. Mr. Seiber
said after talking for some time you
won't be neighborly. you are such
strange man. L then said to Mr.
Seiber that we had found some of my
cattle that had been been driven by
his people that bore my brand and
told him of the two head found the
day before | then said to him
When l first came here l worked
faithfully for you. but you never
seemed satisfied with my work. l
never worked harder for anyone than
for you, but l could not please you.
MIR. Seiber then asked me whether !
had ever heard him say anything
about my work. and l answered that
he had always been complaining
You found you could not manage me
like you can some of your fellows, ]
said and that c tho fn,nl
fault with my work.
''Mr. Seiber then said that quit
in a strange way, l then said have
a right to quit when l please and

rangements he had with the people
who had sold out to me. | told him

stealing your cattle, but you will not

calves. You turned your cattle in on
me last spring. l went to Jones
about it and Jones referred ME to
you
There was some more conversati on
between them. which is of no mater

horse along by giving it boot
From here on | never said a word
