arguing and disputing with the people
with whom he came in contact, but those
who knew him best say that he was
really a good hearted old fellow.
Mr.. Ely was well connected, claiming
to be brother Of ex Congressman Ely.
He also said he was forty miner, having
gone to California during the gold fever.
