ties who contracted for his sheep,
and merely repeated the statement
made to US by another sheepman,
who claimed to know the facts of
the case. Here is what we said;
The friends of Mr., Bengoechea
claim that a job had been put up
on him by buyers who contracted
to take several thousand sheep Of
him at certain figure, to be de-
livered at Murphy. Before the
time for delivery the market price
for sheep fell off, and the buyers
brought the charge Of scab to get
out Of a bad bargain"

Boise, Idaho, S

Boise, Idaho, Sept. IL, 1905.
A clipping from the Silver City Mug
get, published in the Evening Capital
News, is far from the truth and wish
to state the facts.
On July 27 the federal inspector went
out about seven miles from Murphy to
inspect a band of Mr.. Bengoechea's
sheep for shipment. The herder re-
fused to bunch the sheep. The sheep
showed well developed cases of scab
without careful examination.
Mr.. Bengoechea called on the inspec-
tor the next day, maintaining that the
sheep we're clean, and wanted them in
spected again. The Inspector went
out; the sheep were punched, and the
living parasite found, which proved
that they were diseased, and he quar-
antined them.
Had Mr.. Bengoechea allowed this
case to come to trial we would have
proved beyond doubt that he had
killed two of the worst diseased sheep
after being told that they were scabby,
in hopes that the others might pass in
spection. A piece of the hide of one OF
these sheep, which we had in possess
sion, showed we'll marked case OF
scabies and parasite.
The inspector who dipped these
sheep found over thirty cases of scab
sufficiently advanced to warrant him
in hand-doctoring before putting them
in the vat.
As to the statement of Mr. Bengoe-
chea'S friends that this was a job put
up between the buyer of these sheep
and myself, and that the buyer had
paid too much for these sheep, | will
simply say that he has refused 25 cents
head more for these sheep since they
we're dipped than Mr. Ormsby was to
have paid him, and another party
would have offered him 30 cents more
head but Mr.. Beugoechea told this
man that the sheep we're not for sale.
Mr.. Ormsby and other we'll posted
sheep men claim that he would have
cleared so cents head OH these sheep
had they been delivered to him clean.
In Owyhee county there we're sixty
six bands of diseased sheep this spring;
1900 of those diseased sheep belonged
to this outfit. A great many more of
these sheep undoubtedly belonged to
these friends of MIR. Bengoechea's, who
are "kicking" because he was fined for
knowingly trailing diseased sheep.
They are angry because they had to
clean up and want revenge.
Mr.. Bengoechea has trailed sheep
over the Idaho Nevada line regardless
of state or federal regulations, for
years. The good effects of this prose
cution are already noticeable, as Mr..
Bengoechea has had this office notified
that he wanted to move sheep from
Nevada across the line into Idaho,
thereby signifying his intention to
comply with the regulations.
