land of the Ohio did l0ok fair IN the
eyes Of the beholder and here
the tribes of the Mckee and Eile-
hrecht and Lasierly did make their
dwelling place.
Now among the people Of this
region were two brothers and one
was named George and bis brother
named Frank and they did treat

were as the leaves Of the trees.
There was one who did dwell in
the land ol the Ohio, and she was
a widow and she was called louisa
and she possessed daughter fair to
look upon and comely and their sur
name was Beibel. Now Louisa did
possess much land that did reach
unto the borders Of the river, and
horses and her cattle did roam the
hills rosnd about. AID she was held
in high esteem. and whose favor
was greatly to be desired.

sware by his spsrs, even BY the

And il came to pass that the herds
men did band themselves together
and did covenant among themselves,
for their mutual protection. And
they did call themselves, The Gun
nison County Stock Growers Associa-
ton, and their numbers were as
the mighty forest, and their power
became very great throughout the
whole country And the council of
the chief man, were great sought
after. so much so, that one, called
I. W, whose surname was Grey, did
travel throughout the country, even
unto Washington. for he was a great
and mighty talker And he did
counsel with the great men OF Con-
gress and Jolly the President, and
did come home covered with honors
and the Cattiemen were greatly pro-
fted thereby
Now the members of this associa-
tion did council together, and did
choose one, who should be a ruler
over them, and the choice fell upon
one William. whose surname was
GillasPey and whose nick name was
Bill, and he did rule well in his dav

many things for profit and amuse-
ment of the people. He did create
