conditions of the treaty made with
the Indians in September. 1882, we
could go into the Black Hawk pur-

dence in the Black Hawk purchase.

many times long before June, 1898.
My father made and bought four
claims before that time and had logs
out for four claim cabins in May, and
one built ready for occupancy by June

stands in Buffalo, one where the stone
crusher now is, one at Buffalo, half
mile east, and one where the Dodge
brick house now stands-in all two and

frontage.
Il care but little as to who was the
first legal settler in the Black Hawk
purchase, but if anyone was ahead Of
the Clark family, it could have been
only a few hours, as we were largely
interested in being there on time to
make our holdings good under the
