Every body in Littlefeld had read that

feldians, as rule, took the village
paper solely to read the locals contain

Sometimes sitting up there in her own
room with the three slightly windows, a
wild impulse seized Sister Martha to do
something reckless that should make
folks talk. She was not a passive per-
son. nor was her mood meditative.
Vinie's room was next to her own. She
kept light burning in there all night.
Their windows looked the same way
toward Captain Bigh's house, and IN the
small hours when her insomnia was at
it's worst, pinning her eyelids open and
making her brain whirl, she would hear
slight stealthy movements through the
wall, and would know that Vinie was
awake treading in her worsted slippers
up and down the carpet.

JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ,
Dear Sir: In my last letter had mst
spoken of Silverheels. The next one is
"a. Young Aristocrat.-IIe was bred
at Durand, H., and it was at the time
that Chas. 5. Doyle of Crystal Lake
Stock Farm owned Autocrat, son
of George NJ. Patchcn, and Young Au-
tOcrat was said to be II son of his, his
owners thinking that his services would
be of more value to them. But it Wa Il
false statement. lie was ii son of Billy
Randall. | could not get his dam :
breeding.
81. Yo,Wg C0b.-lIis pedigree is all
correct. | see him every day and know
his owners. lie is a fine Young horse.
SO. Biack Ha,ck (Fo,rier'S) Il know
this horse, and Chas. Smith, hi, owner.
He is a fine horse. He was brought, |
think, from the southern part of TIN,
State and passed through many hands,
and was always said to be of Black
Hawk and Kentucky Whip blood.
81. Bidck BdTHey.-l cannot get the
breeding of his dam: it is unknown.
| knew his owner and got it from him.
IS. JohnsOn Horse.-I expect on the
9th of February to 90 to Ridott, H.,
and will probably Tind out about his
dams breeding, put think it is not
known.
80. Iaylor's MorgdR.-Was by a son
of Carpenters Joe, who was descend
ant of Bulrush Morgan. | cannot find
out about Joe, but 1t has been said that
he was famous horse. There is mare
owned here, by a son of Carpenters Joe,
which is a fine brood mare.
40. Sdger's MorgdR.-Was of the old
time Morgans and | have yet hopes of
some day getting his pedigree. He was
a very handsome horse and was owned
at Davis, H., and was great rival of
the famous old Morgan horse Weasel.
1t was hard to tell which was the best
horse.
Il. Seeley's MOrgan.-Was a very
smooth, fine-haired horse; was owned
by Stephen Seeley of Rock City, H..
But his breeding is lost and unknown.
He was of the Morgan character.
~. Rock.-This fellow was a famous
show horse and was of the Black Hawk
type. Mr.. Taylor never had his pedi-
gree, but when he got him he was told
that he was of Black Hawk blood and
dam was of Messenger blood.
43. BARRIERS Weasel am in hopes
to find out about his dam some time,
but at present | am unable to obtain it.
He was at one time considered very
fast horse, but went blind.
A. Waters Horse.-The dam of this
horse | cannot get at present, but may
yet obtain it some day. He was very
fine horse and a good stock getter.
As. Old Weasel (also known as the
Granite State Morgan and the Davis
horse) was fine chestnut horse. tried
very hard to get his breeding, but could
not. ! suppose lie was as fine Nor
gan stallion as was ever owned In llli-
nois. He was bred in New Hampshire
and brought West and owned, as you
will see by my book, by stock COM
pany at Dayis, H., composed of w. e..

woodruff, S. j. and j. A. Davis. They
gave $1,000 for him, which was a ia
nous price 40 years ago. About the
lOeh of January | was at DAVIS, ILL.,,
hunting pedigrees, and asked A. j. Nor
ris, the old-time horseman, what he
knew about Old Weasel, and he said that
he was Ly Sherman Morgan, son of JUS
tin Morgan, or by "A son of Sherman, but
he thought the former correct. He
knew nothing about his dam. He was
the sire of the once famous horse known
as BARRIERS Young Weasel. Old Weasel
and Sager's Morgan were great rivals !;
both were excellent horses.
haye now come to the end of the
book and will now tell you what
know of Captain Beaumont.
Captain Beaumont was a gray horse,
foaled 1854, and brought to Freeport,
H., when about three years old by DR..
j. II, Beaumont. As to his breeding, it
was very uncertain. When Wolford H.,
2:22, by Captain Beaumont, was going
down the grand circuit there was a
great discussion as to the breeding of
his sire. Mr.. Randolph Huntington
claimed him to be IA Clay and said he
was by G. NJ. Clay, IS, and Mr.. Wal
lace said he was IIambletonan; but
finally Mr.. Wallace printed "said to be
by Cassius NJ. Clay, u.s." DIR. Beau
mont has lonp hppn 1anI ond ,noct oI,l
hOrsemen have forgotten, but most
who know say he was by Henry Clay
and dam II Morgan mare. Mr.. j. Ii.
Pierce, the man that once owned Cap
tain Beaumont, Jr., says that Old Cap
tain, also known as the Beaumont horse
and as Harris Eclipse, was by Wads
worlh'S Henry Clay s; dam, a Morgan
mare. Mr. John Pearse Ono relation of
the abOvel, who owned the Pear Sc
Horse, record 2;39, a bay horse by
Young Eclipse, son of Captain Beau
Eclipse which says, young Eclipse
gray horse, foaled 1860, sired by Cap
tain Beaumont, son of Wilson's Henry
Clay GAO, he by David Hills celebrated
horse Black Hawk; dam by Osceola, a
famous saddle horse" He also says
that Captain Beaumont's dam was by
Morgan Henry, who was out of Col
Calkin's celebrated brood mare by Bar.

FREEPORT, ILL.,, Jan. 2S, 1892.
In my last letter gave you what |
knew about Captain Beaumont. | will
gard to horse think ought to be in
the Morgan Register, as well as Cap
tain Beaumont. On page 81 of my
book is the horse that was known in this
county as Daughenbaugh' Black Hawk;
black horse, foaled about 1870, sired by
Deery's Captain, he by BARRIERS Colo
mel, son of Beaumont's Colonel, buck
skin horse brought from Indiana by DR..
j. II. Beaumont (the owner of Captain
BeaumonD and was said to be of Mes
senger blood. But it was so long ago
that | cannot get his pedigree. Black
Hawks dam was II fine mare by the
Fetterhotf Horse, he by Blodgett's Black
Hawk, son of Hills Black Hawk; 2d dam
unknown, but Il fine mare (Biacll
llMk). He was "A typical Black Hawk,
" hlgh-headed, Il fine crest, slender
in body, with light built LEGS and good
feet. lie wasa splendid roadster. lie
was bred and owned by II. \. Daughen-
baugh, Freeport, Ill.,, and was driven by
him to humboldt, Kan. Ga distance of
200 miles, in 1876, where he died soon
afterwards. He was the sire of many
fine rOadSterS, one of which was Molly,
IA bay mare. Her dam was Lady Light
foot She is now in foal to Aubrey H.
SOL, record 2:27 (sire of Rob Roy, :29})
and great colt is expected. Black
Hawk is also the sire of Nance. bay
mare, who is the dam of Lancaster Boy,
Il son of Aubrey llS04, which is fine
young horse. | think that had Black
Hawk been kept here his blood would
now be of great value to breeders, as
Nov | leave this to your judgment ii
he cannot be registered in the Morgan
Register. He ought to be in the Noted
American Horses. Since printing my
book | have learned some facts in regard
to Peter (page Pa. His stud bill never
gave his pedigree, but read as follows:
1.-The celebrated horse, Peter, of Arabian
and Morgan blood, will make the season,
etc." One of his former owners says
sometime after the war the dam of Pc
ter, who was of Morgan blood, was
found out to be in foal to Peter McClay-
ton, an Arabian horse, and she was then
stolen and sold for good price to Capt.
Francis Bocke, who had been in the
army in the South, and he shipped her to
his home in Lena, H., where she foaled
the colt. Peter was fine black horse
with white nose, and had the highest
crest ever saw on horse. have late
ly talked with well posted horsemen,
and they say that, from all points taken
together, he was splendid speci-
men of a Black Hawk, which he proba-
bly, was, and thar his dam might have
been an Arabian mare. | have picture

q eseer Character.

Howard Quick who died at Ches.
Townsend's ranch near Lerdo last
month, was a queer character, who
for a period of five years lived
amoLg the Cocopah Indians in
Lower California and acted as their
medicine man for some time. He was
unfortunate enough to lose num-
Der of patients and the result was,
the Indians determined to try him
for practicing witchcraft. Mr.:
Quick took his departure in a
hurry and soon crossed the Colo
RADIO near Townsend's ranch and
asked for work. Mr.. Townsend
gave him employment and found
him to be an industrious man, but
Of very sullen and unpleasant
manners. Quick frequently spoke
of the rich gold Lodges he had seen
in the Cocopah country, but said
the Indians would not allow him
to work on them. The dead man
was Norwegian by birth and had
no acquaintance in this country.

a Fraudulent E.aad scE,e4.,c.

The SENTINEL has called the at
tention of its readers several times
to the fraudulent representations
made by Walter j. Raymond of
Dayton, Ohio, who has been offer
ing "fne fruit land for sale at Gao
tus and Pilot Knob, California"
For some time the land manipula-
tor kept quiet, but he now has
things running at a white heat
and is catching gudgeons by the
score.
His son, so the SENTINEL has
been informed is here and has ar
ranged for the sinking of a we'll at
Cactus and also at Pilot Knob and
went to the additional expense Of
having the two sections of land
surveyed.
The land which Mr.. Ray
mond advertises as good
peach and prune land is absolutely
worthless. At Cactus what is not
poisonous alkali dust is made up
of drift sand. At Pilot Knob the
section of school land owned by
Mr.. Raymond is one mass of gran
lite, trap-rock and iron-capped hills
Of worthless spar. There is not a
square foot Of ground on this sec
ton where even the prickly cactus
can find root.
The SENTINEL does not want
any one to purchase worthless
land, when good land is to be had
at the same price that these barren
wastes of rock and sand are offered
for. Good land is to be had at
low figures. Let those who de-
sire ';fruit lands" write to reput-
able dealers, who will sell them
what they want and not acres of
desert sand and alkali dust.
MI. Raymond's visionary prune
orchards exist only in his fevered
imagination. He may find a good
abiding place for the horned toad
and tarantula at Cactus, but the
abiding place of the prune is not
there. The whole scheme is a
bare-faced fraud.
The following letter is a speci-
men one Of many received here in
connection with Cactus and Pilot
Knob prune orchards"
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1, 1892.
Dear Sir:-I take the liberty to
write you to ask if you know any
thing about Walter J. Raymond
Of Dayton, Ohio, having land near
Cactus or Pilot Knob that his son
has been setting out to fruit trees.
Is there any prune orchard near
there that is bearing and doing
we'll. Very truly yours,
A. RUaG.

The WasFsoSts.

The threatening clouds which how
cred overhead for some days broke
with considerable force on Wednes-
day morning. The rain was very
heavy and continued until late in the
afternoon. Train No. 20 from the
East was detained by a washout near
ella City and arrived here quite late.
The next morning the train returned
to Yuma, having been unable to pro
coed any distance beyond Raymond's
proposed prune orchard at Cactus.
Train No. l9, the east-bound ex-
press was also detained and did not
reach Yuma until p. NJ. Thursday.
By Thursday evening the washouts
were partially repaired so as to per-
nit resumption of travel.
The view from Yuma, looking to-
wards the desert, Wednesday evening
was grand. The black clouds, hung
like mantles of darkness over the Car
go Muchacho range, extending clear
down to Pilot Knob. In rapid sue
cession fash after flash of binding
lightning followed with almost super
natural rapidity, sundering the storm
made veil, from which the rain fell
in torrents, whilst thunder
echoed and re-echoed in the distance
1t was a'sublime sight, but the resi-
dents of this place were much pleased
to view the magnificent battle of ele-
ments from a distance. 1t would
have been very unpleasant to have
had the grand scene enacted nearer
home.
