On what The New York Press believed to have been authentic information, this newspaper quoted Colonel WT Waggoner, famous owner of the Three D’s Stock Farm, as having offered John D. Hertzone million dollars for the latter’s Reigh Count. In the following letter, the Colonel points out that we were misinformed:
The New York Press,
145 West 45th Street,
New York City, N. Y.
Gentlemen: I notice in your publication of , also in various previous issues, where mention is made that I offered One Million Dollars for Reigh Count. I never offered one dime for him in all my life, nor did I ever instruct Mr. CE Durnell or anyone else to try to buy him for me. I wish you would please make a correction of all these errors. It may do Mr. Hertz a great deal of good in the way of advertising to continue these reports, but I am sure it does me no good whatsoever. I thought that ere now the matter would be dropped and for that reason I have never written the papers for correction, but it seems that every now and then it is brought up again and I feel that such false advertising should be stopped.
Yours very truly,
THREE D’S STOCK FARM,
(Signed) WT Waggoner,
