win tell you more at some future
time Of my travels uDon the frontier

in April. and went to Fort Bellknap,
on the Brasos river; thence to the
Witchatsaw mountains; from there
We struck for the Canadian river.
and went up this stream 40 miles
and eamped one day. From here We
returned to old Fort Radminesky, at
the foot OF the Witehatsaw noun

We had great sport in this vicin-

have killed. alone. at one hundred.
We left the pleasant hunting
grounds to go on the war path-our
object being to take a village belong
ing to the Kickapoo Indians. We
went as far as the washitaw river.
and tried to get friendly Indians for
guides, but failed. It was well for
some Of us, perhaps, that we did not
succeed. for afterwards learned that
We were within 25 miles Of 1900

1 am very much pleased with this
country, and think 1t the best place
in the world for poor man. The

But stock raising seems to be the nat

be raised without feeding. or cost OF
