We stated that hay had been removed iron? the barn which is in our lease, without our consent but Mr. Braver replying to said notice in TEE POST of Jan. 14th takes upon himself the authority to state that no bay was re- moved from the premises excepting what grew on the small lot he refers to which did not exceed one cwt. Had this been ti truthful version of the case we certainly would not have issued a notice to trespassers and again state that hay was removed that was our property. We did not charge Mr. Brewer with talking it but simply took this method of protecting out property. Mr, Brewer also states that the hay was not removed by a thief a or ' trespasser tassor bn i byli Does he lint ki ow that the lacing thereon or removing of anything from 1 the premises of another person with- out their consent ' e011 ilio t 9 to 1 res to in aw a t sso' P r r ibis he Good I consent r u leen was aekeil for oar given. t W, J, do seiea Tottants.
