Show THE HORSE nielsen presents invincible proof to establish ilia chasnis Cl asnis editor please allow I 1 hope for the last time to again refer to my horse simon and also to make an opening through the clouds of Bowen bros correspondence of the ultimo and thereby allow the sunlight of truth to penetrate its false position and expose as mildly as I 1 cau the unwarranted course taken by its authors to depreciate the merit of my horse for the purpose of foisting on the public an animal of far inferior grade and another who ab sol failed to pass examination at alie late utah territorial fair to the facts at issue I 1 will grant myself the right to republish extracts from their correspondence and oner such explanations pla nations aa may be pertinent t them Bowen Bros in regard to th i ploma for three best colts we alii not given directly t la boust it is the beat premium any animal could have remark why was a diploma of kind a fifth ri ri one not given directly to Dav nusi was it because of his superior jants or the ie loranco of alie judges at alia fair I 1 davoust was there at tho fair and in fair honorable competition with other horses the judges examined liidi closely and after a thorough examination concluded that lie was not entitled to any award whatever Bowen Bros mr nielson thinks tho marcs should have some credit certainly they should and the belter and richer alie coil the better tho fruit should be and so with the mares remark bow mark the contradiction Bowen Bros now for lie kind of mares that were the dams of ahn colts exhibited by u in comparison with the dama of llie colta exhibited by mr neilson they bo vens mares were of a very inferior quality remark was contradiction ever more contradictory allow rae to present the above sophisms sophi sms in related position Bowen Bros thu better the mares the better the quality of the colts our colts dams were of a very inferior quality to rasmus Neil sons seven eighths daun because of alie inferiority of our marcs they produced the best colts remark shades of the deeters Dex if inferior very inferior mares produce alie best colt then alio poorest soil produces the richest crops and trees planted in alkaline soil will thrive and bear better fruit alian that planted in rich alluvial in view of aliis new philosophy would it not be well to do away entirely with our fine brood marcs and in their stead introduce a few car loads of scrawny mustangs and digny pigny shetland ponies bow en bros one mares was imported being seven eights per cherson the same blood as the horse hence wo find mr neilson with alie bapst ground to work upon but the tree my livorse simon was deficient remark the tree catches the breeze this lime i e simon poor simon no account simon let us ask simon a question he may be able to defend himself simon have you heard alie brought against you bv bowen bros simon yes and it made me laugh hl I 1 rolled alt over laughed why simon to think eliat I 1 who was not in tho territory of utah antil april 1889 should be held responsible for some one alses colts do you mean to say that you have no colts in aliis territory simon not any but now keep it quiet I 1 have i prospect of seventy three this spring how did you manage to defeat bowen bros beauchamps at the fair simon by tle intelligence and understanding der standing ot alie judges what about davoust Dev oust bowen bros other horio eliat tell through at the fair simon it if a common and truthful saying that to a lack of merit is added superficial pralo to cover the defects remark simon is right he was purchased by me in illinois the first of april 1889 and therefore tho misleader of bowen bros in regard to my colts being inferior to liis in consequence of simons alleged inferiority is not only absurd but wicked bo viii bros the competition at the fair was so close between the horses Beauchamp and simon they the judges did not know which one to give the prize to remark strange information 1 entirely false the judges did know and soon applied the knowledge by giving to simon in addition lo 10 the laurels already won the diploma no one knows that face belter than bowen bros aliey know it too well bowen bros now in further proof of mr Ni elsons misleading tendencies ye horsemen budges we will make one more reference namely his article in the utah agriculturist for december where lie has nearly a column of meaningless numbers the certificates of pedigree he i trying to describe does not contain one half of the numbers deemark if the numbers of horses and that of their sires is meaningless eliy do france england america and other countries attach so much value to them Is it not a fact that a horse without a number is a horse without a aaice bowen bros should understand eliat here in utah we have men who fully realize the importance of numbers and that they who maintain otherwise and would have alio public believe so must ere long conclude that they can not gull an intelligent public with any lucli stuff bowen bros the certificate of pedigree he is trying to describe does not contain one half of the numbers remark I 1 will not be personal I 1 will not accuse the gentlemen of uttering untruths un truths knowingly will not state that because the spring season is at hand and tho reputation of my horses so well authenticated that thoy resort to falsifying in order to destroy their celebrity and build theirs on painters ink no gentlemen I 1 will not resort to cither but will now present the following testimony and let the numerous readers of the judge whether as bowen fifis assert lie certificate of the pedigree of 1 lie horse does not contain iiii half of the reported by me to alie ulah agriculturist |
