49,
soul and has made his third trip up.
Everybody knew him up there and he
knew every crook and turn in the
river. He is a kind old fellow and
should not be sent up again, but ac-
cording to the Rush Hill correspond
ent they are making preparations to
send him again. In this mess there
were three dudes who parted their
hair in the middle.
Next mess was George E. Daniel,
who made some of the prettiest
speeches during the campaign. Geo.
missed his nomination, but on his way
back he got position that was far
more preferable than the office of
Surveyor. Three cheers for George
and his lovely bride. Next WAS j. L.
Jesse, who has been up before. Joe
was quite a favorite with the ladies
up there, who all know him. Don't
say anything about this to his wife,
thought Next was G. X. Allen, who
stood the trip better than anyone. He
was quite a favorite with the young
ladies', but had better cheese this for
if his young wife hears this / might be
like G. X, part my hair in the middle.
The next was A. P. Ellis, a native of
Audrain and lovely boy. He was
the only one that took his valise with
him and we all wondered why he took
it, but as soon as we landed we found
out. He started Immediately for
Oklahoma.
In the next mess was G. w. Ridge
way, a grand old man and veteran
up Salt River. George is we'll thought
of. up at the old camping ground.
Next was our old neighbor, Squire G..
| G. Baker. This was the first trip the
Squire has ever made, but he is going
to try it again in the future. Next was
John F. Harrison, another veteran,
we'll acquainted up there, who pointed
out many conveniences to the crowd
The next was John Woods. Never
been there before. Uncle John ap-
peared to enjoy the trip. He never
took his pipe out of his mouth from
start to finish.
On the short line, west end first was
John T. Crews, nice, sober old man
who never allowed any fun if he wai
present. If ever l go again l dom
want him along. Next was G. w
, Batterton. Having been up before, il
appeared that the trip was pleasure
to him. Next was j. Alex Roberts, 6
very small man, but no one appeared
to try to run over him. He was notet
during the campaign to get feed SOM
way and go to the place of speaking
, before night and either do withou
2 his supper or eat with his horse.
: Next mess on the short line from
