bought strip of land along the lake shore
in Lake View, and a short time afterward
moved up into the vicinity of the land.
His friends say that he did it so that he
could watch the land, but this he denies.
However, he has good eye for the main
chance.

"Going to fill IMP" he was asked
"No. The waves are making half foot

This is to show that he has good bust

circles that he got out on the shore in the
morning with hoe and rake and pulled
in everything that got within reach, but
this could not be verified. The following,
however, can be;

morning, looking over his land, when he
