FARM NOW A THRIVING CITY
Hancock Moved From a Claim
Now Worth so Million.

Joseph Hancock. s. years old. a
native Of New Hampshire. but who
moved from Pekin. H.. to Texas Ia
1879, arrived In Dallas the other
day on a visit. after an absence Of
more than half century. Fifty
seven years ago Mr.. Hancock locat-
Cd on $40 acres OF public land OF the
republic Of Texas. His old claim is
nov included In the site Of the city
Of Dallas.
Nearly every foot OF the ground
is built over in paved streets. rail-
road tracks and buildings. big busi-
ness blocks and public parks. this
property being worth more than
$50. oo0. 900.
Mr. Hancock tired Of his farm az
ter two years. occupancy. and mov-
ed to the Red River valley. about
loo miles north OF Dallas. Five years
later the gold fever took him TO
California. where he followed min
ing until a few years ago. when he
moved TO Montana. his present
home.
When he came to Dallas 81 years
ago there was not house OF any
kind here. and only three white men.

Moore and another named Mas. All
these are dead. Moore and Mas
