him. But Uncle Daniel disregarded
him and went into supper and finally
went to bed.
Mr.. Roberts grumbled, but his wife
advised him to make no more objec-
ton. So Uncle Daniel got his break
fast and hitched up, but went in to
get cigar before starting. Upon re-
ceiving the cigar he threw down a
dime shinplaster and turned to go,
when Mr.. Roberts exclaimed: THAT
don't pay your bill"
Uncle Daniel replied by saying:
"Never mind the change!'
On one of his trips he bought and
brought home a horse, for which he
gave his note and disposed of the
horse, a valuable one. When the note
fell due it was not paid and the cred
itor came to Extra to collect it.
Scott was his attorney and Griggs de-
Tended Mr.. Crane, claiming that the
horse had the CHAMBERS and was worth
less. The case was tried and the jury
took that view of the case and found
| in favor of Mr. Crane
| The creditor was furious and de-
clared that mans life was not safe
in such country and put up consider
able talk about it. Mr. Crane feeling
| that the man talk was having some
influence put up bluff on him, by
telling him that he had no enmity
against him, and that he should be
sorry to see him injured, etc, but
that the people were saying some ugly
things about him, and that it would
perhaps be prudent for him to get
away quickly while he could. The
fellow took the alarm and fled and
was never afterwards heard from.
Mr.. Crane died at Extra about 1876.
She died there about 1901, aged 81
years.
