"A Brown county man who has
been visiting in this section says that
there farm lands sell from $40 to 500
an acre, and it is upland much the
same as is to be found in Dickinson.
He said the last two 1905 that were
sold went at 50, 900 and $1,000. The
magnificent bottom land around abb
lene very much impressed him.
There seemed to him to be an oppor-
tunity for profitable investment in
land. Then, again, the genera
character Of the city and the looks Of
the business houses added to his faith
in the final outcome Of the section
Dickinson land is too low to stay al

AMONG THE CHERoKEEs.
F. E. Nottorfs Little Jaunt on Horse
back and Afoot.

Ernest Nottorf went down in the
Indian Territory few days ago on
business and tried to combine little
pleasure with it. He has just got
limbered up enough to be able to tell
about the delightful pleasure that he
had and the REFLECTOR has secured
the following story Of his trip. He at
least demonstrated one thing: that
Abileneites are not quite tenderfeet.
His experience proves it. Mr.. Nottorf
says:
ave left Abilene on the east bound
noon train for junction City, where
we took the M. X. & I. at s a. m. the
next morning, arriving at Vinita, |.
T., at $3.50 p. m. We were met by
Capt. G. S. White, who has made his
home there in the Territory for sew
eral years, being one Of the United
States deputy marshals for a long
time.
ION Sunday morning we had the
pleasure las it is considered in that
country Of seeing the dead body OF a
desperate who looked into the wrong
ends Of double barrelled shot gun
and rifle that can send a steel ball
through three feet Of solid oak As
be was less than IS inches through he
was thoroughly punctured, resulting
in a complete collapse.

quiet again; but we pressed on
through the brush and briers and
over the rocks (Which all seemed
round on top.) However we were
soon rewarded for all our inconveni-
ences etc., for there in the middle of
Spavana creek stood fine large buck,
the dogs sitting on the bank and they
did not appear to experience any un-
pleasantness from that position
watching him.
"As soon as he saw the approach
Of man he deserted his cold and wet
location and undertook to retreat to
the woods, but was soon overtaken by
the hounds and again landed in the
middle of the creek. We regret that
we are not an artist or we would
paint that picture Of a battle to the
finish. The struggle was soon over
and we started with our prey for
home which we reached at $3.50 a. m.
IA sleep of two hours and a half
was all and breakfast was ready, after
which we dressed the buck and sawed
off his horns which are now in my
possession and will ever be a re-
membrance of how we fought, bled
and died for our country. Taking it
all in all our trip was very pleasant
ONE
This is all of Mr.. Nottorf's story.
He is too modest to tell 1t all.
Marshal White had deep dark plan
to wear him out-but he didn't. Mr..
Nottorf rode thirty miles on horse
back, walked from 8 p. m. to 5 a. M,
slept p hours, rode 80 miles more
and all on one meal. Even then he
insisted that he was mot a bit tired"
At last Mr.. White gave up and went
to bed. Mr.. Nottorf ION, so gladD
followed, the victor in a test Of en-
durance with frontiersman. He IS
still lame and says he would not do
| it again for a small fortune.

with his partner not less than 200 Of
these hounds during the last three
years at prices ranging from SO to
800 each. Sunday we attended
church and it seemed very much like
home, Vinita being town Of about
2500 with all the denominations re-
presented.
CATER dinner Monday it was ar
ranged that together with Capt.
White and a Mr.. Walker we were to
90 on one Of those famous foxhunts.
The arrangement we understood was
to 20 in hack and take saddles and
an extra horse along, but for some
unexplained reason the hack was
missing when time was called but
each was provided with pony and
saddle. Your writer wants to say
right here that he had not been on q
horse for over five years. Therefore,
kind reader, pardon me for saying
that at least the rider OF one pony
thought of the farewells said to fam
lily and kind friends.
"However 6 o'clock in the evening

miles at the home of well-to-dc
Cherokee Indian. At $3.50 P. m. it
was decided that we start on foot
through the woods and hills for fox
chase. But before we forget it (and
how could wep) our host had not in
vited us to supper. This Of course
was small matter, everything else
considered.
