In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with severe
heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which it seemed almost impos-
sible to check, and along in June the
case became so bad Unexpected to die.
One day one Of his neighbor5 brought
him one small bottle of Chant ri ain $
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh oea Rene
dy as last hope. A big dose was
givenhim while he was rollin g about
on the ground in great agony. and In
few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect Of the medi cine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was takinghis first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he can
not help but feel grateful. The sea-

 Fifty years ago I camped on the West side of Kinchafooney, near Bronwood, and while there man came from a Lftle hut near by and commenced talking with me. He told me of the length of time he had been living there, and learned that his name was Kin Dale. He gave me the history of his life and also that of his family. He said that his father and mother came to this country in the year 17g2 and settled with the Indians near the Alabama agency. after staying there sev- eral years his father and mother both died, and left eight children to the care of an elder brother, Samuel Dale who moved from there to the old Cheenubee town on the Kinchafooney creek, now Sumter county, Georgia, where he re- mained for some time with the Indians till the family all grew up and scattered to different parts of the country. Sam was respected by the Indians for his hon esty in his dealings with them, and was often consulted on matters concerning their business. he was their general ad- visor They held him in their esteem as one who would always counsel with them for the best interest of themselves and others. being strictly honest to all par ties concerned.
 He had many conflicts in trying to care for the large family that he had to look after. and it kept him busy to provide for them; he had to make frequent trips to Augusta or Savannah with his OK teams or pack horses to carry his stock of pelts, and would return with goods which he bartered to the Indians for more hides and furs.
 He also acted as a guide to the white settlers on the Tombigbee river in Ala hama, and eventually moved there and settled in the fork of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers. He was there when fhe Indians made their attack on the white settlements. and was at the first battle fought with them at place now called Burnt Corn" in Monroe county. creek from that incident. was called Burnt Corn creek. the Indians having burnt the home of a man by the name of Betts. together with all his barns and outhouses Capt.
