hill, near Denison, to camp for
the night. The family was named
Ayers, and the man, who gave
his name as Will Ayers, stated
that he was en- route from Camp
county to the Indian Territory,
looking for home, and he told
the story of the death of a little
boy freezing:

river, and near me was camped a
man who said his name was ID. L.
Martin. He stated he was NOV

county to the Choctaw nation,

place for him for the coming crop

wagons loaded with plumber, and

his wife and little girl, and the

to be comfortable. The weather

awhile with his nose and ears

the little frozen fellow Danny, and

way, saying he would take his
dead boy to his brothers place
in the Territory, and would bury
him there.

without any regard for relatives who live in poor cir

to be sought before such egacies be accepted in

ever, on presenting the usual petition informed
by the Minister of the Interior that the Emperor re-
fused his consent for the present the will violated
moral duty towards INDECENT relations who had
