CAIN TALKS BACK.

Editor Pilot.—l to correct a statement made in the Pilot of Jan. 6 by “Reformer” in regard to A. McCoy’s cattle which broke into my corn field. The facts of the case are as follows: The cattle broke into my corn field and ate and destroyed about 25 bushels of corn, together with 16 shocks. When I first saw the cattle they were done eating and were standing in a corner of my field. I went to notify Mr. Walters, who had them in charge, and found him absent from home. I therefore watered and furnished them hay until the next day, for which I received the large sum of >3. “Reformer’s” articles should be substantiated by some truthful person before being published.
