Indians as L have become acquainted
with the manner of living and customs.
They live almighty hard but can stand
them alright. 1t isn't half so hard to
hold these people down as it is to tinker
with your criminals up there, such as
barn burners and cattle thieves and
murderers. All we want is rustlers,
such men as | had to buck against
up there. Such men as Capt. Brown,
Bill Cartwright and H. H. Gilreath, and
we could make the thing go alright

from Leon to Eagleville, Mo-, Mount
Ayr and Osceola with piles Of money in
my overcoat pocket to pay for stock

give past history of our transactions
of an early day. This country is as
Iowa was in those days, but this coun-
try is coming to show down soon and
the white man can do something in the
way Of handling real estate.

Ringgold county is to have no bridge
foreman and no bridge gang during the
year 1905. At the session of the board
of supervisors which ended Friday,
Bridge Foreman John Mapel was not
reelected, although the board was per-
fectly satisfied with his work. The
step is taken purely as matter Of
economy, the bridge fund being in bad
shape, as has been from time to time
noted in the News. Mt. Ayr News.
