THAT all of the facts Governor Fraz-
Ter now knows were not known to
him weeks ago and that the mar
whom he appointed to investigate the
case, namely, Seaman Smith, who was
sheriff of the county at. the time some
of the cattle died and who
lived within a few miles Of the place
and who had the entire of
the county back of him to make an
Investigation, as far asthe record dis

Bowen before he died. did not make
a request that the attorney generals
Office should have nothing to do with
Seaman Smith. that he was in with
the people who had it in for him. and
that 'he~was under the domination
Of his enemies.
This offer is good from now until
January 1, 1921. Come on. gentlemen
and get the money, and if those who
made the charges do not claim the
money the people will have good rea-
son to know why"
