JUDGE BOTTS
MAKES REPLY

TO the Editor of the Message !:
In your issue Of February 9th
you state in your editorial col
umns that you have been inform
ed that capable and honorable
man of means offered us 5000, 600
for the property of the Traction
Company.
Your information in this n,~t-
ter is very incorrect. Nobody has
ever offered us 100000, or any
other sum, for the property. In
fact, we have had no offers at all.
The gentleman you referred to
in your editorial asked us to
make him an offer to sell him the
property, and give him 30 days
time i'll which to accept, and the
terms of the sale were about as
follows: Leave $43,750 in bonds
in the hands of the people who
now hold them; leave the $35, 900
in partial payments for bonds as
they stand, and leave it to him to
settle with those people; pay all
the debts, including accrued in
terest on bonds, except the priIl-
eipal Of the Fruin Bambrick
judgment, and guarantee that
there should be no other debt
against the company. Thell leave
enough stock outstanding to
make up the 100000.
TO recapitulate: We were to
offer to sell all the property to
the company to him, so that there
would be against it in round num-
bers: Fruin Babrick judgment
$4,000; Bonds $43,750; Partial
Payments for bonds, $35, ,G00;
Stock, $73,250.
This proposition, remember,
we were to make to him. 1t made
it necessary for us to pay about
$4,000, possibly more than that
amount. This meant that we
were to pay $4,000 cash to get
him to take the thing off our
hands 1t put all the losses on the
directors and left them practical
ly nothing but stock which we re-
garded as worthless. But, mark
you, we were to make HIM this
proposition and give him 80 days
time in which to TRY to see
whether he could raise money
enough to build the road to Here
ford and Santa Fe. If he could
find the money he would accept
the proposition. If he could not
he would not accept. We learned
that he expected to get a large
part of his money from the old
subscribers and did not believe
he could do it in 30 days or many
times 30 days.
But all of those of us, who have
brought the foreclosure suit,
7 signed the document, giving him
the option as soon as it was re-
duced to writing, and tried for
months to get the thing through.
We warned all the interested
parties that we could not let the
matter run past the March term
of court. We waited until the
last day and filed the suit.

ever, since the question has been
opened up / feel that it is my
duty to state the facts relative to
the matter, which, briefly stated,
are as follows:
about the latter part of last
October was approached by
members of the Board of Di-
rectors of the said traction
company and requested to sub
nit to the board a proposition by
which | would undertake to com
plete the road to Santa Fe and to
Hereford. I told them that l
could not make proposition that
would bind me without first be-
ing given little time in which to
investigate the legal status of the
road, aud also a little time In
which to perfect my organiza-
ton. But that | would prepare
a proposition, which, if the board
of directors would sign up, would
give me thirty days in which to
investigate the abovestated mat
ters and that if | found them in a
satisfactory condition / would un-
dertake to complete the road to
the points above named before
January l, 1914, and that if !
failed to do this ! would forfeit
the sum of ten thousand dollars
for such failure.
The proposition as prepared by
me was in the form of an option
to purchase and embodied the
following conditions: That ]
should pay in cash or assume, the
payment of the Fruin-Bambrick
debt of approximately forty
eight thousand dollars; that | as
sumo the company's obligations
to subscribers for partial pay
ments made by them on bonds to
an amount not exceeding $35, 900;
and these obligations which l was
to assume and swhich- added to
outstanding bonds and stock that
/ was willing to let stand, would
make two hundred thousand dol.
lars, which was the agreed pur-
chase price of the road.
"At that time the company
owed debts other than those
stated, aggregating about ten
thousand dollars. But it held
notes that were considered good
to the amount of something over
five thousand dollars and which
the terms of my proposition per
mitted it to collect and apply on
the payment of these debts so
that members of the Traction Co.
would really only have to raise
about five thousand dollars in or.
der to meet my requirements,
Members of the board of direc-
tors talked in favor of my propo-
sition but the matter dragged on
and they failed to sign up; along
about December | told them that
since so much good time had been
lost since | made the proposition
that | would require more time
in which to complete the road.
They agreed to this, but some of
them still failed to sign, and the
fact is that up to the present time
there are some of the directors
who have never signed the propo-
sition and of course l could not
afford to start in on the work un-
til | had a contract authorizing
me to do so, which has never yet
been fully signed up by the board
| of directors ~
