Those Of the neigbbors who had
the te0erlty to venture close TO Fox's
place observed that he woald turn
the soil by means of . spade, and he
cultivated . good many acres in this
manner. Stretching before his cabin
home for Q distance of several hun
dred feet, with q width Of about 100
feet. is q patch which evidently had
been spaded up last fall ready for
sowing this sprins A thick growth
of weeds has taken possession.
The writer with companion went
to the Fox piece Tsesdsy after the
coroner, the sheriff and Dr. Mack
intosh had returned to Sapinero.
The two went through the csbins,
with the exception of the one where
FoH's body wss found, and which
had been locked by the coroner.
Right against the mosntsin, about
fifty feet from the Fox living cabin,
stands . log house with the follow
ing inscription spon the center
hesm inside: Fox, A. d., 1895"
This is presumably the first cabin
Fox built, and he evidently marked
it with the year in which it WAS
completed. The inside Of this
cabin 10 finished with small chink-
boards, about foot in length, from
which the bark had been taken. On
many of these strips were found in
scriptions in Hollandish, written
with lead pencil. Following are
some of the sentences:
Il recommend TO you my poor
soul"
"Since we have escaped the pun
ishment and have reached the souls
rest"
"Sequestered from people. friend
Of women"
Some of these, particularly the
second were repeated in several
places about the cabin. This leads
some to believe that Fox came to
the wild and mountainous home
above Sapinero to escape some pun
ishment, and having so escaped,
