made quite a difference in the ma

Jot GUnter Known Here.
Colonel Jot Gunter. whom the dis
patch from San Antonio reports 10
be near death at his home in that
city, is a leading figure in develop
ment Of West Texas and is well
known here. In partnership with w.
b. Munson, Of Denison, Jot Gunter
handled millions Of acres OF land
during the last thirty or more years,
Many blocks Of land now are record
ed as Gunter and Munson's original
surveys and many others which are
reported in the names OF various
railroad companies and syndicates
were surveyed by this firm
Gunter and Munson were the or
ganizers of the pool which about
1875 bought up 100000 of the old
land certificates which entitled the
owner to go anywhere in the unsur-
veyed public domain and locate $40
acres for each certificate. Gunter
and Munson came TO the Panhandle
to locate this land which they paid
for at the rate OF little less than
10 cents per acre, and located most
Of It in Potter, Randall and Oldham
counties. The present site of Anna
rillo is included in this land. A few
years later the syndicate sold part
of the land, including the site of
Amarillo, to Glidden and Sanborn at
40 cents per acre.
In the course Of his operations
Colonel Gunter has become the pos
SCISSOR of large tracts of land and has
amassed a big fortune.
