natural shed on a branch on the farm
known as the Mitchles claim. now owned
by B. w. Murphy. This shed is Of
rock. and is supposed to be the rendez-
vous of outlaws before this country was
settled. The names Of Jesse and Frank
James and other outlaws are carved in
the rocks On what is known as
the Conkey farm, owned by Bob Newman,
is a high bluff, perhaps fifty feet high,
and within three feet of the top is
large, round hole, large enough TO admit
the body of a man. This hole runs back
in the solid rock ten feet or more. Dur
ing the time Mr.. Conkey owned it. IL
was the abode of a dozen or more white
owls Now, they have disappeared.

not violated the law, even though he
missed the only opportunity to get bird
during the day.
