I did -not question his statement because he lived within 40 rods of the property and we could see the buildings from where we stood. I drove -past the property as I came home and there was no sign of life;'surely looked vacant. However, I have come to the -conclusion that Mr. Butterfield thought I had -re- ference to the old Johnson place 22 miles south of settlement as the place in question is notnthe- Johnson place as stated on the list, but belongs to Mr. O'Halley, previously, to Mr.-Behreandt. However, this is not offered as an excuse, only to help clear up the matter. I accept all the blame and am sure it will not happen again. Yours truly, 0. G. MILLS- P. S.
