We arrived there about ten a. m. We rode that pasture on that day and found a steer and a cow and calf that had my brand on. We camped, my brother and I on the night of the 20th at the head of Unaweep canon. On the morning of the 21st we got to the bottom of the canon, finding some difficulty in doing so. Here wo found the road leading to Durango and I started my brohter on the road and then turned back. I left my brother between ten and eleven o’clock. No one was with me when I turned back. It was about fifteen miles to Henry Knowles ranch. I was heading for the Sleeper ranch. Mot Henry Knowles at the head of the pasture. I talked to Knowles about the cattle I had in the herd and said to him that I would be back for the general round up of the Seibor cattle on Saturday. I then went on to the Sleeper ranch.“It was Sloeper’s summer ranch. I met Mr. Sleeper before I got to the summer cam]). He and I talked about ray cattle and he said ‘I have got two of your cattle out of the Seiber herd, a steer and a black heifer.’ Wo rodedown to the ranch. Wo went into his pasture and Looked at the cattle and found my brand on the right side of them, an S-cross. We then went down to the cabin and put our horses in the pasture. Stayed there for supper and breakfast and of course over night.“The next morunig I caught my horse, changed my horse and did not ride the same horse as I did the previous day. I wanted a fresh horse to go after my cattle. Didn’t say anything about seeing Seibor and Jim Jones. Took breakfast about seven o’clock and got away from there about eight o'clock. There were three or four men there. They got onto their horses and rode away before I was ready. I stopped to fix a string on my saddle or some part of it. I saw Frank Slepeer with his gun in its sheath and I said to him ‘let me pack your gun Frank as you are going down. ’ He gave mo some extra cartridges for the gun going to the cabin for them. He had several guns hanging on the wall. I knew they were there, but. I did not want one of them, as they wore too heavy to carry. I am in the habit of carrying guns, when riding gentle horses. The majority of men on the range carry guns. I then started direct to the Seiber ianeh. I met Charley Mow on the way, he asked me to get down from my horse, but 1 refused. I asked where Mr. Seiber was and Mow answered. It was about two miles bythe trail over the hill to the camp. After I met Mow I rode our of the gate toward the Seiber Cattle company pasture.“When within about \ of a mile from the pasture I met Mr. Seiber. After passing a few words I said to him. ‘I have been waiting to talk to you for quite a while, about the tresspass on mv lands at West water and driving my cattle.’ (Here a considerable conversation took place which was given by Harris which could nor be heard by the writer. ) Mr. Seiber said after talking for some time ‘you won’t bo neighborly, you are such a strange man. ’ I then said to Mr. Seiber that we had found some of my cattle that had been been driven by his people that bore my brand and I told him of the two head found the day before 1 then said to him ‘When I first came here I worked faithfully for you. but you never seemed satisfied with my work. 1 never worked harder for anyone than for you, but I could not please you. ’ Mr. Seiber then asked me whether I had ever heard him say anything about my work, and I answered that ho had • always been complaining. ‘You found you could not manage me like you can some of your fellows,’ 1 said ‘and that is the reason yon found fault with my work.’“Mr. Seiber then said that. [ quit in a strange way, I then said I have a right to quit when I please and work for whom I please. Then Mr. Seiber talked about, some of the arrangements he had with the people who had sold out to me. I told him that what they did not bind me. 1 expected to stay at the river and didn’t expect to be driven out, or words to that effect. Yon have no right to run over me. I referred him to old man Snyder and he agreed that Snyder was an honest man and would tell the truth about anything. [ said. ‘You can accuse us of lying and stealing your cattle, but you will not say that you did not tell old man Snyder that I had stolen nmnv of your calves. You turned your cattle in on me last spring. I went to Jones about it and Jones referred me to you. ’ ’There was some more conversation between them, which is of no material interest.“At last Mr. Seiber said. ‘Wo will go and see Jones. ’ Something was I said and he said to me ‘Don’t be backing out now, we will go and see Jones, I hav’ut time to fool with these matters much longer’. Mr. Seiber then obesrved, as we rode along that I had a revolver on and continued by saying that he had never been cowardly enough to carry one. I answered and said that he had been cowardly enough to lie and steal my cattle and run over my pasture. I then said that ho had men that wore cowardly enough to run off the last milch cow of a widow. 1 then told him of a case where his people had run off a cow and that he had furnished one. Fuller $75. to quiet the matter. Mr, Seiber answered that ho may have let him have the money.“By this time we had reached the pasture and went in, Mr. Seiber getting down from his horse and pulling the top rail off. 1 helped his horse along by giving it a boot“From hero on I never said a word to Seibor.’’The testimony of Harris from this point on was very dramatic. It does not differ in any essential feature of the tale of the killing as given by the witnesses for the prosecution with some very few important points. He did not agree with the testimony of the witnesess of the prosecution about the manner in which Mr. Seiber rode toward him. He illustrated with gun in hand how Mr. Seiber had ridden toward him. “The gun was balanced on his thigh and when he got within about forty feet of me, he raised his gun and covered my body. When I saw that his face had a grim determination upon it and that the gun covered my body, I fearing for my life, fired three shots as rapidly as E could.I only fired three shots. When I had fired those three shots Mr. Seibor fell from his horse. I dismounted and picked up the gun. I found the gun was cocked, as if ready to fire.“I cannot say when I discovered that the gun was cocked, it may have been right away and it may have been after I rode away a little distance. ’’When Harris was asked the qnes-m whether he had fired in self defense he answered the question very dramatically in the affirmative. He had no other thought and did not shoot until ho had called threo times to Seiber to “drop it.’’ which he did not do, but covorod his body with the gun.He examined his gun when he gotaway from the camp and found three shells empty.DEMOCRATIC TICKET.For Governor—E.
