bought cheaper here than there. Filed
on my claim on the 9Th of December,
1892; don't state price on my claim, as
I don't want to sell It, A good many
have wanted me to put a valuation on It
but I want to keep 1t for a home.
now have eleven head Of cattle, two
hogs, five head horses good barn and
fair house. When I landed here had
only IS after filing. Think this country
is the country for q poor man. 1t IS
easier to get a home here; can rent
cheaper here than in any Of the older
parts Of the country. Never lived IN d
country that I liked the climate as vel
as this. Left Iowa on that account.
Here have a good home and also a
nice boy to make life a pleasure.
