don't think So
"'Bout this time his little gran'son
was CROWN up, and Nuggets began for
to take him along with him in his trips
to the canyon. Mrs. Hittel, she objected
at first, but when she seen the boy
liked to go, and her father was dead set
on havin' him with him, she didn't make
no more objections. The boy yoused to
say, that while they was in the can
yon Nuggets spent most of his time
huntin' for something he couldn't find.
"One evening in the summer time
bout ten years ago-1 was here then
'myself-Nuggets and the boy KEN in to
town and gave it surprise that it amt
got over sence. You can believe it or
not, as you want to, but he'd got back
his mind all right and talked as sensi-
bly, as I'm talkin' now. Don't believe
he ever was crazy himself-just think
he'd got his mind set on one thing and
couldn't get it off. But he was purity
near crazy with happiness. He'd an
old rusty knife in his hand, and he kept
sayin' to us all the time: 'Twarn't no
dream after all-'twarn't no dream.
Seems when they was in the canyon the
boy got to playin' around and crawled
under a big tree that 'ad been blown
down, and found the knife stickin' in it
underneath. Course We know what that
meant.
well, Nuggets is all right now. So
was his claim. He sold it for purtv
nice sum to couple of big mining men
down below. See those smokestacks in
the trees over in the canyon? Well,
there's a 14-stamp mill on the spot
where the knife was found.
bob Hittel runs this store we're
a-sittin' in front of, and Bob's wife owns
her own house. Nuggets has a mort
