4871 gaph tiiat thertt ii no danger of an Indian outbreak as the Times and other papers would have the publio believe, ur contemporary rejoins that what we uttered is "sinily an opinion." Granted, hut it is au opinion baaed U- facts and fully warranted by every circumstance involving the various Indian tribes located in Dakota. The Times has taken its cue from the Bis marck Tribune, which paper we have every reason to believe, is assuming the role of alarmist for the express purpose of frightening the government into largely increasing the garrisons at Fort Lincoln aud other near-by posts irom which Bismarck derives much trade and lucre. If tbe Times will designate one suspicious circumstance, or the remotest cause for alarm, it will greatly strengthen its argument. The fact that a lot of Indians have left Standing Rock Agency on a buffalo hunt is nothing unusual or that can be construed into hostility or preliminary to hostile conduct. Numerous bodies leave every agency yearly on similar expeditions, even when buffalo are ranging hundreds of miles away.

In this instance the temptation to truant- ism is unusually strong owing to the near approach of the vast herds of bison from over the border. Possiblv the Indians are absent without leave, are heavily armed and well mounted, but the last named conditions are es- sentail to a successful bunt, aud a hunt is all that their absence amounts to. Carbonates. A meeting of the South Dead wood Carbonate Company was held Monday, the attendance being large, and in tereat unabated. A report was receiv ed from Superintendent McDonald to the effect that the Shaft between the Surprise and Enterprise was down thirty-five feet, and that the rock was becoming softer and every indication more favorable.

He manifested great confidence of soon encountering ore in paying quantities. He received i second instalment as per contract. Upon motion a second assessment of one-quarter of one per cent was levied, payable on or before September 6, upon the payment of which stock wilt be is sued. The South Deadwood is mani festing commendible activity, and it need surprise no one if they are first in the field with an established, proven, carbonate mine. Sunday is usually the best day to glean news from the outside camps, fur then the miners usually knock off work and come to town where they can be within the religious influences that surround Deadwood.

On that occasion, after the bible class is over, the reporter sallies forth to obtain what information he can concerning the outside camps, providing public attention is directed to them as it is to the carbonate tamp on Squaw creek. Alter an evening most industriously spent our reporter is only enabled to say that with interviews with at least a score of men from the carbonate camp there was not a single iscouraging report; the substance of it all is, that everybody is at work; the mines are looking "way up," and it is is only a question of time when the camp will prove to be a most grand and glorious success. An Important Circular- A circular has been received by the Register and Receiver of the General Land Office, stating that circulars issued by any attorneys that officers and sol iers of the late war who were honora bly discharged, etc, are entitled to 100 acres of Government land under the homestead laws, "which can be entered by an agent or attorney for tlio soldiers," are deceptive and false, and are calcu- ited and intend to impose upon and mislead the persons to whom they are The circular further reads: "You will inform all such persons that actual residence upon, and cultivation of land entered, under the homestead law is required of soldiers, and that homestead entries made by soldiers without personal residence and im provements within six months alter the filing of a homestead declaratory statement, are illegal and fraudulent. The fair. As the time approaches for the Sec ond Annual Black Hills fair, the grounds become more aud more lively and a scene of greater activity and bus tle and apparent confusion, but qut of the chaos will shortly appear order and much that is beautiful.

Superinten dent Lawrenson personally controls the work, which is sufficient guarantee that it is being well done. Large quantities of lumber are on the ground ana new buildings besides extensive additions to old ones, are well under way. Work upon the track continues with a large force, and by the close of the week will be in the best possible condition and as level as a floor throughout. A Well Developed Lode. Capt.

D. C. Nichols made a for tune out of the Father Do Smet mine, and still holds a tenth interest, passed eastward yesterday, says the Cheyenne Leader of the 26th, on his way from Montana to New York. He has at last found a mine that suits him. It will cost him half a million and two hun dred thousand more to get the necessa ry machinery, but he is determined to have it.

The mine is owned by a crochety old man who has developed it in good style from the proceeds of a small arastra that crushes only a ton per day. He has run 1,700 feet of lev els, and exposed to view a wonderful display of rich ore. The most that we can say as to the location of the mine is that Montana holds it. The Iron Hill- Mining company is getting its affairs in first class shape. On yesterday it received its stock from the printer, (Pioneeb and having its charter and seal will issue stock at no distant day.

The property comprising the Utica, Carbonate, Ultimo, Tidiout, Minnie, and Grasshopper fraction in the new carbonate district, has been surveyed and platted; and thoroughly prospected. A shaft will be sunk on the Utica where favorable indications abound. wood are the most gallant, and yet the most modest of any in the city, es pecially when a lady is in question will not be doubted by our readers after reading this: A short lime ago a certain lady feeling herself aggrieved because a reporter of the Times, out of pure charity and sympathy, spoke well ofberand endeavored to assist her along, called at this office and insisted in publishing a card which combed that young man down nicely. Served him right, too, no business to have sympathy or anything of the sort; nothing in it. Yesterday the same lady, feeling that she had been misused by a harmless and true item that ap peared in the Pioneek, went to the rimes office and induced the combed youth to publish a card which- chawed us up completely.

In fact, we bave hardly recovered from the effects of it yet. Served us right of course. It must occur to an observer that there has been altogether too much lying, wilful and unintentional, occasioned by the president's illness. The doctors have "prevaricated," and the reporters have been "sensational.1 Nurses and attendants have assumed au owlish demeanor, and to create a great er impression that they were wondrous wise, have manufactured stuff regard less of consequences, for indiscriminate circulation. Thus it is that the public have been tossed from the heights of hope to the brink of despair, only to be transported to another exultant state that another crushing blow might be administered.

On Monday our after noon dispatches detailed an interview with Dr. Hamilton in which he posi tively declared that the president would recover; there could be no doubt about it. Later in the day -came a second reported interview which the Pionekh published, utterly repudiaiing the al leged first declaration, and giving tbe reporters fits for misrepresentation, The reporters have been largely to blame, no doubt, but we are unwilling to entirely exonerate the physicians from deceptive proclivities and practi- tices. When the president was rapidly growing worse, was approaching a crt sis, Bliss jubilantly insisted that the patient's condition showed marked im provement. Hamilton and Agnew ex pressed contrary views.

Saturday night when the president rallied Bliss "threw up his hands" in abject despair, and practically consigned tbe president to the grave. At that critical moment appeared the heroic, grand Mrs. Gar field to shame the cowardice of the feed retainers, and to scourge them into a performance of their duty. In theso as in numerous other instances, Bliss was in the wrong, innocently so perhaps, but in the wrong nevertheless, and his words as well as his conduct reported to the world had an intensely depressing effect. To the credit of Doctors Ham ilton and Agnew be it said that less censure can attach to them than to others.

Subordinate to Bliss they felt that it was a matter of courtesy to con cur in any bulletin the g. 'at incompe tent might prepare. He was "the physi cian in charge," and responsible for what went forth from the white house in the form of news. The difficulty has been that Bliss paid too little attention to the bulletins. He seemed to think and act as though it made little or no difference what was promulgated.

He lost Bight of the fact that his oatient was a prominent and beloved member of the great American family, whose fifty millions of other members were watching the case with the greatest anxiety, and that in addition the eyes of the civilized world noted each turn in tho case and were visibly fleeted by it. These people had a deep interest in the case; they had a right to know all that was being done and experienced and exactly as it occurred. To practice wilful deception at such a time was almost criminal; and to negligently err admitted of no excuse. The patient should have been the doctors first great care, and secondly the feelings and wishes of the people should have been considered. Enemies of the county commissioners are clamorous for their resignation, all of which is not to be wondered at.

The commissioners on the other hand, realizing that tbey were elected by a majority of the people to perform certain dutieB, and having taken a solemn oath to faithfully fulfill that mission, will scarcely be moved by the Implora-tions and desires of a handful of mal contents who desire to place soma of their number in office. These same disgruntled few have uttered numerous charges touching the fidelity and competency of the commissioners, any one of which if true is sufficient to remove the transgressor, accordingly it would seem to be tbe best and most sat isfactory plan to establish the truth of one or more of the allegations when their purpose would be accomplished, and with greater eclat. That thus far they have been unable to verify their "accusation" in any particular, and as much of it is known to be absolutely and utterly false, the sincerity of the movement is susceptible of quo tion, A Narrow Escape. Robert Chew experienced au almost miraculous escape from death or ser ious injury, luesday. While pro ceeding up the gulch with his private conveyance, and when near Hood's mill, the horse, a vicious animal, began kicking aud plunging.

Mr. Chew alighted and assisted by John Allen and others, attempted to liberate the animal from the carriage. This they succeeded doing when the horse lunged and fell, carrying Mr. Chew to the ground beneath him. Horse and man quickly arose, when Robert, somewhat irritated at his rough treatment, hit the horse which broke away and ran up the gulch.

He was captured near the toll gate. Mr. Chew sustained no injury. Three horses were stolen from Thomas James on the 27th inst. The supposed thieves are Fred C.

Hatch, who bag been in the employ of Mr. James as driver of one of the teams, and has been mining ever since and, John Doe. bas besn very successful in gathering an ettenaive and valuable collection of ore and other specimens to be for warded for exhibition at the Omaha fair, On yesterday Mr. Lancaster sent down a 50-pound lump of us tin quarts literally coatd with the precious met-aL It is estimated worth $1 a pound, and will be forwarded to Chicago after the Omahogs are through looking at it. The Dead wood-Terra also contributes a valuable specimen.

A curious exhibit conies from tbe carbonate camp, in the shape of a cement lump, oval shape, hollow and resembling a bird's nest. In addition to the specimens al ready noted in the Rosier, by which every prominent mine in the Hills is represented, Captain Russell bas sever al rare petrifactions, stallaetites, forest rock and other curiosities. The captain is to be congratulated upon bis success which is destiued to be of value to the Hills. PERSONAL POINTS. Charley Enowles is at Lead taking an inventory of Dr.

Ingalls stock of drugs. Frank Fossett, prominent in the literary history of Colorado, died at the Windsor hotel in Denver, last Thursday morning, of consumption. Billy Welch, formerly with Tim Hireen of this city, bas returned from Pierre, which he represents as one of the dullest towns in the far west. Major Ball, the uew commandant of Fort Meade, arrived at the latter place Friday evening by the Pierre coach. He was accompanied by Mrs.

Ball and two servants. The Pioneek acknowledges a call from Captain R. Blakely, chairman of the Minnesota state republican committee, and president of tbe N. W. S.

A T. company. Jim Moody, who by tbe way is one of the finest boys in tbe city, will soon leave for Annapolis where he will enter the naval academy. Knowing him as we do, we bespeak for Jim a brilliant future. A.

8. Davis, assistant observer U. S. signal station, returned Tuesday from a trip along the line extending to the Little Missouri. He replaced many poles arid put the line in first- class condition.

George Bews has had a tough farming experience this season; in fact has gone splanchnic uppermost, owing to the continuous drought. From 175 acres he has gathered less than 1,000 bushels of oats. John Gaston, one of the oldest settlers in Deadwood, never visited Spear-fish or the valleys until last week. As a matter of course he was greatly surprised at the many evidences of civilization there beheld. General H.

B. Titus, of the Little Rapid Hydraulic company, arrived direct from New York, Sunday evening, aud will take charge of the company's property and. machinery, re lieving Mr. Homans. Eureka Sentinel, 23: Jack Gilmer andO.

J. Salisbury were in town on Sunday and departed for Salt Lake yesterday morning. They informed the Sentinel that they would push the Geddes Bertrand mill to completion as rapidly as possible. Assemblyman Jack Hale is in the city, and regardless of the fact that be lost 3 500 bead of sheep last winter, is as jolly as ever. His brother recently purohased two hundred head of horses in Oregon, which will be driven to the Hills next spring.

Charley Burt, son of the foreman of the Pioneer news room, came in from Bob Neill's ranch, Tuesday, with one arm in a sling. Charley has turned granger and while; herding cattle, was kicked on the hand by a horse, and received a fracture two fingers. V. Prentice has returned from a trip as far east as Chicago, at which latter place he met Patsy Donan, fresh from the mines of New Mexico. Prentice says that the contrast between the dull times here and the flushness that characterizes every place visited, is stri king in the extreme.

Howard Worth, U. S. deputy mar shal, located at Rapid, arrived from Chamberlain and Pierre, with three de linquent witnesses, Monday. He speaks in the highest terms of Chamberlain, the new Missouri river town at the terminus of the C. M.

R. and its en-enterprising citizens. The following from the Savannah, Democrat, will, doubtless, prove a surprise to many in this city, and to none more than to his relations: Married. At the residence of the bride's parents, in Savannah, on Thursday, July 28, 1881, by Rev. Ham 'I Hugman, Mr.

George McKinnis and Miss Melissa, daughter of Capt. Wm. Caldwell. We exleud to the young couple our best wishes for their future wellare. An Indulgent Parent.

In answer to an advertisement in the Pioneer, a small girl appeared at the residence of one of our six bit nabobs on silk stocking hill, and applied for the situation. In answer to the query propounded by the lady of the two room mausion as to where her mother lived, she replied: "She lives in Fountain City." "Have you got any father?" "Yes mam, but he has gone out to the carbonate camp to strike a boanza, but my mother told me if I was a good girl and would go out to work she would get me a step father until the camp busted." The Minnesota. One of the richest mines ever discovered in the Black Hills is tbe Minnesota located on Silver creek. Some time ago a very rich strike was made in this mine, which, at the time, was published in the Pioneer. Since that time the mine was bonded to Governor Ordway, Judge Bennett and others for $45,000, and has been quietly placed in New York where a stock company is being formed for the purpose of developing the property, and at the proper time erecting a large mill.

and war which so largely prevailed at Pierre last summer and fall has not quite died out yet, notwithstanding the season of calm which has reigned there since Arkansas' death by vigilantes. The latest shooting scrape which oc curred there happened last Wednesday- A keener of a restaurant, whose name we did not learn, took it into his head to have a man for breakfast, and proceeded to put his wishes into the shape of a reality. Tbe first object worthy of his ire to present itself was a milkman. from whom be bas been in the babit of securing his supplies of the lacteal Quid. A slight dispute arose, during which the milkman insinuated that the dispenser of hash was th6 lineal descendant of a six-dollar dog.

This was too much for the disciple of Delmonico, who rushed behind the counter and grasped his ever-ready Colt's and let drive, but with a result different from what he expected or desired. Instead of bitting the object at which it wan aimed, the bullet Hew wide of its mark and found lodgment in the arm of a small boy who was taking in the show. The wound produced was quite serious, and for a time badly scared the shooter, who forgot all about his late antagon ist and paid his attention to the boy, Happily the wound was not as bad as at first suppposed. The restaurauteur was arrested and held on bail to have a hearing. Central Hill.

Bapul Journal, Aug. 37. Joe Reynolds, of this county, will exhibit some fine blooded stock at the Lawrence county fair. J. A.

Carpenter, of Beloit, Iowa, is here ttying to secure a site for a flouring mill, which he asserts be is able and willing to build. We learn that the parties who sold the St. Elmo mine near the head of Palmers's gulch, recently have pounded out $900 worth of gold dust from the rock. Plenty of rock carrying some galena and resembling very closely that of the new strike in West Virginia, is- found along Rapid creek near Pactola. This will engross the attention of prospectors in that vicinity, now that silver rock is the craze.

Frank Brewer of Ross' bar came to town Sunday. From him we learn that the hydraulic excavator has been working successfully, and that the sediment which has settled in the sluices has been tested with a pan and found to contain good pay. We erred to the amount of $10,000 last week in speaking of the bond of the -Minnesota mine. Instead of $35,000 the Amount should have been $45,000 The parties bonding the mine areJudge G. G.

Bennett, Governor N. G. Ordway and Charles Enos. The bond includes the Enos mill, of twenty stamps, located on a small tributary of Silver creek in close proximity to the mine. A meeting was held last Tuesday for the purpose of organizing a party to look out and locate a road from Rapid City to Chamberlain on the Missouri river.

John K. Uremmn, Lotus Volin aud M. Wilsie were appointed. This Will Breed Trouble. One of the most glaring outrages ever perpetrated in the Hills has just come to light, and it is one that calls for terrible punishment upou the perpetrators.

For some time past parties have been stealing ore from the dump of the Washington mine at Galena, thus spoil- the looks of the aforesaid dump. For years past that dump has been the pride and solace of the owners of the Washington, and now to have it dese crated by ruthless vandals, its fair pro portions shorn of symetry, is more than they can tamely stand. The owners of the Washington mine dump are eaceahle, law-abiding citizens, but we warn all when once aroused, that there is that within them which makes them dangerous, and cost what it will, that dump must and shall be preserved. The Chamberlain Road. A well posted up-river man, who has been all through the country between tho Missouri and the Black Hills, informs the Sioux City Journal that a better road than Ike Pierre trail, and but twenty-five miles longer, can be found from Chamberlain to the Black Hills.

Under the last treaty with the Sioux at Washington, this road could be opened through the Sioux reservation by paying so much per mile. He did not think that the Milwaukee company would go to the expense of opening this wagon road west from Cham berlain this season, but that it would be opened in the spring, and that some of the freight line companies would then come down from Pierre to Cham berlain, and work from there. (air Privileges. The privileges of selling on the grounds during the coming fair, were sold at auction at Worth's billiard hall Saturday. If the parties who bought them do not make money, it will not be because they did not get them cheap enough.

The first privilege sold was for th bar, and after some lively bidding, was knocked down to George Bews for $380. The next privilege put up was tho restaurant, which was bid off by Mad ame Bernard for $70. Charley Posner bid in the fruit priv ilege for $25. Some individual, whom' to call a mis creant were base flattery, on Thursday night last feloniously appropriated fifteen plump, promising chicks from the hennery of Charles Chiniquy, foreman of the Pionf.ee job room. It was an infamous, a decidedly fowl deed, where at the aforesaid Chiniquy is very much agitated, to put it mild, as will more clearly appear upon a second visitation of the roost robber.

Charles has double barrelled shot gun placed on the inside of the hen house, its trigger con nected with the door by a patent con trivance so that upon the slightest at tempt to enter by parties unacquainted with the premises, tbey will be sent to kingdom come by the sir line. Special to the Pioneer. A severe storm of wind passea over here at 8 o'clock last night, going south.

It is found at the Devon worLs, that sulphur in the pyrites is enough to Keen the Jurnace, when once heated, burning without fuel. The product? Here it is, a white heap of it lying in an ojien shed, where every bodv passes by. It is something like fine ffo-jr. One of the men dips his thumb and fingers into the palm of his nt her hand, and brincrs it to us to look at. precisely as a miller shows a sample of flour, smoothing it with ins lore linger.

One expects every moment to see him test it with his tongue; a child probably would, but the miner knows better. All this white heap is arsenic all these rows of barrels are filled with areeuic.

Fnuer'i Magatmt, Book Clubs.

Few smalt American towns can boast of a circulating library of any importance, and cultured men and women suffer from the want of new books, periodicals, which thev indi vidually cannot buy. This want can be obviated in a measure, bv a friendly combination between certain families or individuals, in which each contributes given number of books to a common stock; these books are loaned to tlie members in turn. A more formal and much better way is the formation of a book-club, in which each member pays at the beginning a certain sum, with which as many books are purchased as there are members, each one choosing a book these pass in regular rotation from hand to hand, remaining a fortnight with each reader; thus twenty books may be read for the cost of one. When the books have passed around the circ they are sold tc members for the benefit of the club. Fines for the detention and abuse of books also keep up the funds.

No officer is required in this association except a treasurer. Another advantage in the nlan is that hooks nan be bought by the quantity at lower rates man singly, i ne same rule applies to subscriptions for magazines, newspapers, etc. The excellence of this idea will at once commend itself to the attention of book lovers.

The hot springs in the Southern Hills are fast -becoming very popular with people suffering from rheumatism, and other fancy diseases. It is claimed that their medicinal properties equal the famous hot springs of Arkansas.

Omaha has had an enthusiastic meeting preliminary to the building of a railroad in a northwesterly direction through the state. With the co-operation of the people of the Hills the line might be extended to or near this city, Frank Hamilton is out of luck. He recently took a pair of pants to a tailor's to he cleaned, thoughtlessly leaving a $20 bill in the fob pocket. When the pants returned the bill was missing. Of course the tailor knew nothing about it all.

"They are up to old tricks in the Hills," says the Cheyenne Leader, "and there are many complaints of mine salting."

The Doctor will now have an opportunity of returning to the flowery paths of journalism. War has been declared against Doc McKown's yellow cur.

We must say that the doctor is a splendid fellow but the dog well, as he only nipped us twice perhaps we are not qualified to form an opinion, still if a coroner's jury is ever needed to Bit on that whiffet, it gha'nt cost the county a cent. Bill Dunn is becoming accustomed to cyclones. He passed through the one in this city, and was also uncomfortably near tbe one that-devastated New Mm, Minnesota, and later, near the state line. His description of the New Ulm disaster is very ghastly, and suggests many horrors which this city narrowly escaped. Superintendent Gregg, of the DeSmet reports for the week ending August 8, 1,400 tons of ore extracted from first level, 400 tons from second level and 68 tons from third level.

We have it from what we deem a re liable source that certain parties of meanssufU cient, are taking under advis mentthe building of a smelter at Galena. If our board of trade had built a smelter instead of a grist mill, the Pio neeb is of the opinion that they would bave done better than they have.

A gale ot wind, accompanied by some rain, struck West Virginia Mon day evening, and in its course complete ly demolished Stone's hotel and slightly injured the colored cook. The stove being overturned and buried beneath the rubbish, set fire to the building, but the prompt action of the men extinguished the fire. No other damage was sue tained. The cyclone only lasted a short time. This is a severe blow to the pro prietor of the house, as he hail just com pleted it and bad occupied it only week.

Captain Howgate. Salt Lake Tribune: The case of Cap- tain Howgate, the Arctic explorer, is a most pitiable one. tie had achieved an enviable name; and the path to promotions and added honors was open ed without an obstruction before him Now he is arraigned as a miserabli thief, worse still as one who has betray ed the trust of a generous government Yet his fall is not without many lessons and some compensations. We can learn by it that it is possible, sometimes for se natures to win and wear high honors, and the lesson is renewed that there is nothing in honors or oflico which can protect an original low na ture from working out its destinetl end The acting agent of Howgatc's destruc tion was a woman, we Kept a mistress, a Miss Burrell, and though he daniitlcKsly faced storms which sweep the ice-lloes under the Ugliu, he had not the strength enough resist the importunities of this woman, and so he stole from the gov ernment for her. Worse still, he shamelessly kent her name on the roll as an employe of the signal service bureau aud drew $75 per month on her account for services which were never rendered.

There are men of naturally generous instincts who, in a moment of desperation, might embezzle money from the government; but, tor a man to place and keep the name of his mistress- on a government pay-roll and draw for her $75 per month, reveals simply the traits of a petty larceny thiet, trom whom even narueneu criminals recoil lest they be contaminated. It would have been bettei if, in the shock of an Arctic storm, Captain Howgate had gone down where the eternal silence of the north would have held hushed forever the darker secrets of his nature, and where no sun-hint could ever have melted bis name from the crests of the ice mountains, Some men live too long. What May Happen Here, Helena Independent, 21st: At about 7 o'clock yesterdey afternoon as Emerson's mule train was approaching the city, by some unaccountable fatality the load which consisted of 6,000 pounds of powder, exploded with a terrific noise which was heard on Rodney street in this' city, three miles away from the disaster. Mr. E.

L. Shipley, the driver, was riding the near mule when the explosion occurrei and the concussion threw him about thirty feet forward, utterly stripping him of his clothing, and burning him in a horrible manner. He was brought to the hospital in a most critical condition, and the doctors are doubtful about being able to save him. Two of the mules were instantly killed and others to mained as to be unable to move away from the burning wagons. One of our editorial stair was standing on Rodney street in conversation with one of the gentlemen who has just returned from Geyser Land and witnessed the sight.

First the lurid flash and then the smoke appeared, and the noise was heard soon after. The dense cloud of smnlte hung in the horizon fir at least fifteen minutes, and the whole appearance was as strange and weird as the sights just witnessed in the land of wonders. We learn that the unfortunate Mr. Shipley has a brother residing in White Sulphur Springs. A Land Lord- Tlie Reno Gazette publishes the following item cf interest: Col.

Dun Murphy, of Hallack Station, Elko county, came to California in 1844, and may lie said to have made the country pay him well for his time. He is now probably the largest private land owner on thi continent. He has 4,000,000 acres of land in one body in Mexico, 00,000 in Nevada and 23,000 in California. His Mexican' grant he bought four years ago for $200,000 cash, or live cents per acre. It is sixty miles long and covers a beautiful country, of hill and valley, pine timber and meadow land.

It comes to within twelve miles of the city of Durango, which is to be a station on the Mexican Central, Mr. Murphy raises wheat on his California land and cattle on that in Nevada. He got sacks last year, and ships 6,000 head of cattle a year right along. A Gazette reporter asked him What he would do if he could sell all his land at a -dollar I acre. He answered, "buy cattle.".
