Dated at The Dalits this 14 day of December 1920, A. E. Gronewald County School Superintendent. Explanation Redmond, Ore., Dec. 18, 1920. I see a piece in the Maupin Times in regard to the loss of my gtock. Who ever put the piece in the paper that stated that 1 was down at the car at 9 o'clock at night and stated that I heard my stock moaning and paid no attention to them ought to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I don't deny being down there, and my stock was walking around in the car and seemed to be all right: After the 1 o'clock train went down I went back again and the stock seemed to be all right Yet the reason I loaded early before train time was that I had Mr, Allen help me load and he had a long ways to go home, and there was v.6 place to feed as the corral waa ao muddy, so we in the car for the stock, and they had plenty of room in the car for so many were young stock. When Barney Allen and I drove up to the depot with our last load, the agent came out and said, "I will have a car tomor row noon with a window in each end." The car was one day late from the time 1 ordered it. Whenever the agent says that he told me to put slats on the sides of the sides of the car for ventilation he is telling some thing that is not true; if you Ion t believe me just ask barney Allen. I would be willing" to swear that the agent never was nearer the car than the depot where the car was spotted. The agent says he loaned me lis hammer to fix the car. I used my own hammer for nailing scantlings between the horses and cattle and the hammer was still left in the car, so we lost the bamrner. We used the agent's hammer in the depot for to.renail the hd on one box. When I first spoke of ordering a car I was going to order an emigrant car; was calculating on shipping about 15 head of cattle and 5 head of horses, and the agent knew I had horses in the car, for I spoke about the horses when I spoke of ordering a car and he never objected at all and never spoke of any higher rates. It rained so much and the roads were so bad, so l went down to Sherar to see the agent and thought I would ship from there, I Wa3 talking with him about getting an emigrant car, he told nie I wa3 only allowed to ship 10 head of stock in an emigrant car. I went home and saw the truck man at Tygh and he thought he could haul a load over with his truck, so went and loaded up and by putting on four horses, we pulled the first bill so we finally got to Maupin with our load. I saw that I could not ship all my stuff in one car, so I had some more cattle down at Mr. Hardin's, so I thought I would ship my furniture by freight and order a stock car and the agent talked me in the notion of ordering a box car; on account of the weather being cold, he said the stock would get along all right. The agent said I if wanted to put in a little extra stuff it would be all right as there was no agent at Terre-bone and they would never know any thing about it. They seem to blame me for the whole thing. When my car was ordered, why didn't the Rail Road send me a car fit to ship stock in? What was the reason the conductor never noticed the car when it left Maupin. He never noticed it until we got to Terrebone, so some of the Rail Road men were as ignorant as I was. When Barney Allen and I were loading neither one of us ever thought we were loading in an air tight ear. If the agent had notified me that it was an air tight car and should be slats over the doors, they surely would have been put on. The agent told the claimagent when he came up here; that I didn't want any body to see me load the stock. It wouldn't have made any dif ference to me if all the people in Maupin would have seen me load. To show that Mr. Hub bard is not on to his job, he should have taken the brand and mark of all the stock that was in the car. When we loaded the stock and got up to the depot it was 7:20. The agent asked how many stock I had in the car. I told him 30 head. He never asked what they were, just ask ed how many I had. I just consider my loss ,ia 12500.00 at the least considera tion. If I hadn't of let Mr. Hubbard talk me in the notion of getting that kind of a car, I would be far ahead of where I am. The agent here asked me why I didn't put up the iron doors. I told her there were none to put up, and she said the Rail Road should have furnished iron doors. It was a ticket agent that asked me this question as there is no agent here, freight agent I mettn..
