On the 4th day of April, A.D. 1876, comes Daniel J. Harris, to me known as a credible witness, who, being first duly sworn deposes as follows, to wit: I am a native-born citizen of the United States, over 41 years of age, and a farmer by occupation; that I am well acquainted with Henry Webber; that I have no interest to his claim to lands on San Juan Island; that I assisted the said Henry Webber to stake off his Donation Claim on said island of San Juan in the year 1854; on what is now surveyed as the Southeast quarter of section thirty-two, of Township thirty-four north of Range three west; that he resided upon and cultivated said land from that year to the month of April, 1858, at which latter date I visited him and staid over night at his house; that being then a trader as master of the Schooner Phantom I had occasion to visit said Webber on several occasions from the date of settlement to the month of April, 1858; that I have known said Webber to live on said Donation Claim during those years, when a settler stood in very great danger from the frequent raids of Northern Indians; and that during one of the visits to his house, alluded to, I was attacked by an Indian whom I disarmed in his attempt to take my life.
