talking about. Commissioner Watson

We have been able to get but little
definite information. but it seems that
while most of them have been salts
/ fed, a few made complaints and one
particularly, a painter, who could not
get what he demanded for his work,
wrote to the department at Washing
ton making complaint Of extortionate
charges and other hardships. The
correspondence was sent to Mr.. Wat
son, who came up to see what could
be done to adjust matters. 1t is said
that the man who did the writing was
disposed to deny it but there it was
to show for itself. .... Sam McLure's

urday and went home and put up his
stock before night. The family re-
tired about IL O'clock and about IL
