Show AN EXPLANATION. J Millard County Chronicle, Dear Sirs: Your" correspondent ; from Iliirtner reported a circumstance regarding some land trouble, which he made very Interesting, and being olio of the parties concerned I feel It a duty resting upon me to correct and rightly Inform the readers of the affair. j The article was published In the Issue of the Mh inst. The land In jiliicstjiiu was advertised as open for homestead entry, thus .giv ing anybody i a legal privilege to go on the land and homestead, If they desired. The oilo-i ; party named In the urtlcle claimed tt have certificates for the land, but re fused to show them or prove any legal right until 1 had been "sipiatlng' I there for a week, and had time to In , vestigate tho matter thoroughly nftei j which I was reaily and willing to move ' off, and did so. J Tho reporter had cither been mis i Informed or ho deliberately lied In tin j matter, as his statement were as fai j from the truth as he was when he stated we were on Sec and wlu-t jwe were on Section 2 that Is six miles off his base-the rest of his ar tide was farther from the truth than i l hat. Regarding the rows that wan exaggerated accordingly my cow . were never near the questioned place, ! Since the land was advertised for en I try I bid as much right there as any . lone, until shown It wus an error In 'tho publication. Thanking you for ppaco to "right a '. wrong" I am i Yours very truly, j JNO. N. CIIIDKSTF.IL (Note. The statement that It was Section 32 was the printer's error; the correspondent wrote Section 2 Kd ) |
