So All May Know
lAGve tisah ertl

Ihear that Mr. Collins OF Sorrento. the man in
my opinion who would like to have all the people
| of Lheye county vote for his b;st interest
more than their own. got SO badly worked up over
| an article wrote telling some of the truth about
he county conditions, that he is bringing suit
| against me for sum of money aid it seems
,ho lgn he could not find enough alleyed inisrep-
resentasion in what wrote to file his suit on. but
| ID also bringing suit on article that an
other arty had published -aLCut him. He says
that the article wrtten Is spelling hs good name
and reputation but 50 far / have fuicd to hear
/ any one aeccse me oil that excopt Mr.. Collins but
will say that did receive congratulations from h
large number of people over writing 1t they
seemed TO think 1t was handing him thing he
deserved Now anything l spelling
mis- goed name and reputation. do not think did
| " can't DE why publishing some Of the truth
would do that. and in my opinion it did not for l
myself believe that Collins himself has done more
to do that than any one else. for 4 who has |
rourded up and shipped out many Of his neigh
bors cattle he has and also put his brand on !
some of his neighbors cattle has done mere to |
spoil his good name and reputation than the COM
plant that he speaks of. than any thing that has
been published against him. For can remember ,
when he made shipment Of cattle that he had |
sold to Kansas buyers and later when the In
spectors vert down " Inspect them they founu
So hcaA .: his seihbor's cattle and recei. ed the
money ior Li,eil aud Just u lew d.,s ago one Of
my men found C If Of mine with Mr. Collins
oi ard on 1t but should be very careful about say
ing anotffing OF this kind It m gnt spo his
good name.
Now it seems to me though Mr., Collin, would
like TO make 1t appear that he is iur lest
tesest OF the county anu also the I.urie iv.

1.-TWO aid appear from some of the dope that Mr.. |
Collins HIS been handing out 10 the people trying
to make it appear that the Commissioners have
been trying to build $50 900 bridge at the cross
ing. And myself know as well as others that he |
was very bitter inst CERTAIN .chool board for
building a certain school in the county, one that |
would be handy for t,, cildI en- to attend school
in. So IL Mr.. Collins. as 1t to me- would |
like to Lake 1t appear that he is for the upbuild-
ing Of Cheyenne and for better and more pros |
porous County. " ould like to have him explain |
to the people VIII It kind Of a county he would call
prosperous one. A county " ith poor set of |
roads for the farmers to travel and a poor !
system of bridges IL any. aid TIE same with |
