It is about If feet wide and about 24 feet long, and has one stall Ii is one story high. I patched floor on the back veranda- l was about week or ten days, perhaps two weeks working on the stable, but didn't work regularly The chief keeps his horse and buggy in the stable. l got regular pay for the time I was doing the work"

 '"The chiefs stock were not fed out of city's feed. The hogs were fed on sweep ings and corn sent there from the mill. The sweepings and corn were kept sep arate from the city's feed stuff The chief had COW in the lot for short time; two or three weeks, guess. She was fed al the same place with the hogs.
 '"The ch1ef had some old lumber that had been thrown over in the lot, and if any other lumber was used in building his house across the street did not know it. The lumber came from an old house that was torn away from the corner where the Fox building now stands"
