CHAPTER THIRD.
day of the eleventh month of the second year of
the reign of Elias the Bachelor that the great
hedrim of the fifth -four tribes of the Arkansians
assembled together to hear the message and wis.,
dom of their Ruler and chief.
2. Now the message said a great deal about
small things and rery little about great things, in
it they were referred to, and told about message
from Roswell, -the President, accompanying the
same.n
3. Now Roswell the President, made soft,
fowery, one sided message and said in it he was
ready to LEND bis cooperation" to the chiefs OF
the ffty-four tribes of Arkanslans, ~all OF which
is respectfully submitted"
4. Now it so came to pass, that soRe of the
chiefs that were wicked men of the ffty-four
tribes would not listen to, or regard the songs of
Elias Roswell and Richard about the Road. but
regarded their songs and messages as SELFISH
to get the land for themselves and not for the ben
eft of all the tribes of Arkansas
5. Itwas now proclaimed by Roswell the Pres
dent that the leaders and chiefs of the ten tribes
on the line of the Road assembled at the Foundry
of Tubal Cain to see what could be devised and to
obtain the land.
6. Now Daniel, the wise and cautious man,
spake thus: give up your surveys. your maps and
reports made ont by James. and his SPIES and get
the chiefs of the Sanhedrim to give for the
same thirty-hve thousand pieces of silver, then
we will have made money,
T. But Roswell said not so, we have rested rights,
we will get all the lands or prerent others from
doing so; we will rule ruin this grand land
speculation.
8. Now Richard the editor, calmly said thus: a
newspaper business has learned me that bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush. let us get the
thirty five thousand pieces of silver; the commo-
ton now was very great.
9. Now Elias was called for and he said my
Il ID L
be 1t even they have said, and the chiefs of the
ten tribes said amen; it is more then three thou
sand pieces of silver for each and this saying
well pleasing to them all.
10. And now Roswell, Daniel and one Benla-
min from the tribe of Dallas wrote out message,
and Richard, the secretary editor, and one of the
ten tribes carried to and read before the chiefs of
the sanhedrim the same asking for thirty-five
thousand pieces of silver for the reports maps
and surveys belonging to the tribe and made out
by James and his spies.
IL. And it now came to prss when Richa d
had made an end of his reading that the merri-
ment and voice OF laug hter in the great Sanhedrm
very great and they regarded not the wishes
OF their Ruler Elias, ard the rested rights of Ros-
well.
H. Now said the great Sanhedrim. let as offer
the land that the ten tribes so much desire unto
them upon the same terms and no better than was
asked for by the chiefs of other railroad tribes
ten tribes.
13. Now Elias, Roswell, Daniel and Richard.
exclaimed darkness and tribulaton cover the
land, and grosser darkness the chiefs of the fftv
four tribes of the people, on for the jaw-bone of
an ass, an arm of Sampson, to visit destruction
upon them all
IA And Daniel said unto Roswell oh! Roswell
cans't thou find us man who is well skilled in
inancierIng. for other tribes than his own if so we
will learn wisdom of him about building our Road
and prerentng the tribe of Memphans from the
completion OF them.
10 And Roswell said unto Daniel how great
is thy confidence in me. | will do as thou hast
said, even unto the finding of man we'll skilled
In organic formations. the upper crust, and all
IA lroad matters,
16- And Daniel said only let him be Loyal unto
us, and our schemes; and we will call him one of
the faithful, have him take up his pen and write
even unto the land of the Missourians the Intelli
gencer of st. Louis.
IL Now 1t came to pass: that Loyal case was
found veil skilled in tertiary, conglomerate and
other formations also great authority on Rail-
roads. city Bonds, securities. and their value
Is. Now Loyal was fat; and good man. and
wrote fne letter cautiomng the faithful every-
where against strangers, Bonds, Bradley the tribe
OF Memphians, and many more important mat
ters.
49, Now the letter was well pleasing to the
tribe of Roswell and his friends, and Loyal be-
come one of the faithful, and took up his abode in
the tent of Roswell
90 Now it came TO pass in the nth month of
the third year of the reign of Elias that the chiefs
OF the ten tribes on the line of the Road assem-
bled at the Foundry of Tubal Cain to hear the re-
ports OF the wise men upon the land and rested
rights
81. Now behold there were MANY sorrow f;,l
faces there. nothing but wailing and lamentation
were heard throughout the camp. and the Foun-
dry OF Tubal Cain was in great trouble no iron to
work, no brass to melt, and the thirty-fve thou
sand pieces of silver refused by the chiefs of the
People.
%. And Roswell opened his mouth and said.
how are the mighty fallen, our joys are all gone
Will our troubles never end, We could not get the
thirtyfive thousand pieces of silver our hearts de-
lighted to think upon and our hands itched to ham
die, and the land is encountered with restrictions
23- Now Daniel said, oh Roswell nv friend.
cheer up, day dawneth, we may vet get the land.
let US send Tor James, our chief spy. and commence
the Road and rW aduance money; at which all
exclaimed OIL Daniel how is this, thou vast nerer
known to speak so liberal before, thou must be
plotting against our interest
"a Now Richard was called upon who opened
his mouth and said, OH Roswell and Daniel. the
swarms of Loet,sts, the evils of the fiftv-four
tribes and the dangerous order OF Knorr Nothings
are ABOUT TO eat up every green thing, take our
land from us. and oust US from -our ofices:D am
weared of life, Though lattery Gerry pleasantl let
your servan. now depart in peace
% Now Elias the Bachelor was sent for who
SAID, the evils of the tribe of Memphians even OF
the tribe OF Bradley are upon US; we bad better
adjourn.
20. 1t now came to pass that the chiefs OF the
ten tribes on the line OF the Road in sorrow and
distress, agreed to adjourn, to meet again at the
Foundry OF Tubal Cain on the sever teenth dav OF
the seventh month of the third year Of the reign
of Elias the Bachelor
