Among the earliest comers to the

who became friend of the Chickasaw
Indians and often mended their guns
without charge. Barnes was poor
man, but obtaining on credit donkey
named Moses, which was valued at a
considerable sum, he imported the ami
NAL and stabbed it at the smithy, says
the Youths Companion. 1t was the
first in that region. One morning he
found the door open and Moses gone.
He followed trail to the bank of the

food. and he believed his valuable ami

for it he was a ruined man.

in its soft and handsome grays. Barnes
related his story to the trader and re-

bought at Bolivar from a trader there.
As no white man would have shot a
donkey Barnes concluded that the In
dams, who had never seen one, but
who were then hunting on the Hat
chee, were the offenders.
To trap them he tried little strata

and offered as prize "thc handsomest
