Millions of poor Chinese are starv

Whereas: Certaiu rumors are cur
rent in Valley and Sberman counties
iu regard to the killing of one Frank
Landa in Sherman county, in the
year 1894, which tend to connect
Frank Manchester and David Ing
raham with the commission of the
crime, and
Whereas: These rumors have been
traced back to their origin, and are
found to spring out of a conversation
bad between Mrs. Aleck Smith and
myself, and
Whereas: Mrs. Smith evidently
misunderstood what was said by me;
Therefore: In order to remove
any possible injury to the good name
of David Ingraham and Frank Man
chester, I wish to state that I have
no knowledge of any facts which
would in any manner tend to impli
cate either ot the above named per
sons in the commission of said crime;
and that such rumors are without
foundation and wholly imjust, and 1
hope that no one will give any cre
dence to them. And I desire that
this statement of mine may be given
the utmost publicity so as to remove
any cloud that may overshadow the
reputation or character of eitbei
David Ingraham or Frank Manches
ter, and cause pain to their relatives
and friends by reason of sucb un
just suspicions and aspersions as
the above rumors have a tendency to
create.
