early as the fall of '73 and finish
ed sometime in "a. He was a
good while building it.
Spencer's first name ] think,
but am not sure, was Will
! liam, the same as his sons,
but we always called him Spen-
Ger. l can't think of Richards
first name, l had forgotten his
last until you wrote it. 1 remem
ber all about the lawsuit between
Aurner and Spencer. | think I
wrote you all about the affair in
one of my letters. but maybe
not, | have it all down in my
Memoirs" I was witness
and made some enemies for a
time on my answer, for there
was but one question asked me.
1t is quite story and perhaps
at this late date worth telling
In the first place Spencer had
traded a fine yoke of oxen for
ten acres of timber in the gulch.
The trade was fair as Spencer
had seen the lumber and was
satisfied with it, but in going
over it after the trade was made
he found he was badly bea en-.
The cattle [ think Aurner sold
to Peter Anderson for $125. CO.;
$25. 90 would have bought all the
wood that Spencer could get off
his land; and the land being
worthless then, Spencer made a
great how. that Aurner had
swindled him out of his cattle.
Well here is room for ar argu-
ment. In one sense he had.
Spencer claimed that the land
he got was not what he first
looked at and that the piece he
looked at first was worth the
cattle. That was likely the
truth for Spencer was no fool,
and was used to a timber coun-
try. He could handle an axe
better than [ could. 1t was 8,
cruel and heartless thing on
Aurner's part to rob Spencer of
as good as 500, a poor man
and he felt the loss at that time
keenly; so Spencer was down on
Aurner at that time for good
cause. He might have got his
cattle back, or their value if he
had gone about it right, but he
was ignorant, quick tempered
and revengefal. Everybody was
down on Aurner in those DAYS,
but had no complaint to make
against him, though for a time
| was worried when l came to
know what kind of a man he
was. / had bought ten cords of
wood, so posts and 20 or 80 bu
shells of wheat and paid him tor
them; l was to have wood and
posts in the fall and the wheat
in the spring. This was before
| had filed on my claim. During
the summer the feud between
Aurner, Thellman, Spencer,
Buchanan and others including
some of the Danes developed
and they all swore that would
never get wood or wheat, but
did, Aurner acted the man and
l had no trouble. This was all
deal that / ever had with Aur-
ner, or would have with him.
Spencer had sowed some buck
wheat on his land and he claim
ed Aurner's cattle had trampled
over it and spoiled it. l bought
a COW of Spencer; he came to
the house and begged me to buy
the COW so he could get some
seed wheat; the cow was not
with calf, he claimed that Aur-
ner's bull had caused the COW to
lose her calf, l would not give
SO much by five dollars on that
account; paid Spencer $25 for
her to help him out, for
thought from the way he work
ed on me and my wife's sympa.

dllu tlle DuckWueaU was the
cause or excuse for the lawsuit.
Buck was mao with Aurner
worse than Spencer, but | have
forgotten what for. Theilman,
Spencer and others came to me
and wanted me to go up and
testify a out the COW. 1 told
them would for [ could see no
harm in it I told them | had no
quarrel with Aurner and did not
want tn take sides. as knew
nothing of their troubles, so
went up. There was quite. a
crowd there. The lawyers were
a young lawyer from Yankton
and local man who was acting
for Spencer. 1t seems that the
Spencer faction had worked up
a scheme to impeach Aurner's
oath. They had got all the
people that were mad with Aur-
mel and some that were not to
agree to swear that they would
not believe Aurner under oath.
They did not tell me that, and Il
knew nothing Of the scheme or
what good it was going to do
lthem, or what harm it would do
Aurner. don't think any of
them could have told. David
Conway jr. was the justice and
the court was held in his little
sod house on his claim ON Sec. 2
Spring Valley township.) The
little room was full, and more
out doors, there was war in the
air and nobody could tell just
what it was all about; Spencer
swore about the damage done to
the five acres of wheat; Aurner
swore his cattle had never been
out of the pasture and then the
real fight began. They brought
on man after man who swore
they would not believe Aurner
under oath. / had no idea they
would ask me that question:; [
was looking for COW. There
was no COW there. They had
put in no claim. Finally they
got TO me, and 1 thought tue
COW was in sight, out no, they
sprarg the same thing ON me;
would | believe Aurner under
oath? Now here was bad sit
uation for me. Here was a man
who had always treated me we'll,
had trusted him with my
money with no security but his
word, and he had made good,
and was very liberal over the
wood; he told me that he could
not be there to measure it and
for me to haul until | had got
ten cords; he would leave it to
me. l had borrowed his tools
and stopped at his house num-
ber of times and he would not
take a cent, had no reason to
treat him mean besides the other
side had lied or deceived me to
get me up there. had no time
to think it over, but was little
mad and l answered that II
would. Their lawyer asked me
why I had answered different
from the rest, what reason [
had | told him that until | had
heard Mr.. Aurner tell lie un-
der oath and knew that he was
lying | was bound to believe
him whether [ wanted to or not;
that Aurner could tell all the
lies he wanted to when not un-
der oath, but put on his oath he
might tell the truth. Auruer's
lawyer asked them if they had
any more witnesses like Il is
one.
There was a bright young
fellow there, think it was Lon
Bacon, but am not sure now
that got out of it much better
than me by sort of stradling the
question and not answering dir.
ect and contrived to noS give
either side cause to get mad.
That chap ought to nave been

went on. They or their lawyers
agreed to leave it to a Justice
Jury of six men picked from the
crowd. Frank Layne was one
and | can't think who the Others.
were, and they soon found a
verdict for Aurner believing
there was no justice in the clain.-
and that the whole affair was
just spite work, and Aurner
came out of the affair in much
better shape than the other side.
They put Aurner under bonds
to keep the piece for six months.
l think that such a question
cannot be put to q witness now;
q mans belief or disbelief has
othing to do with any case. So

rel. This affair must have

History Of Tea.

The earliest record Of tea being
mentioned by an Englishman was
probably that contained in a letter
from Mr.. Wickham. an agent Of the
East India company. written from Fir
ando. in Japan. on June 81. 1915, to
another officer Of the company, resi-
dent at Macao, in the south of China,
asking him for "a pot Of the best sort
OF chaw." 1t was not until the middle
OF that century that the English began
to use tea. They received their sup
plies from Java until 1886, when they
were driven out by the Dutch. says
the Bulletin Of the Imperial Institute.
At first the price in England ranged
from f6 to 910 per pound. In the
Mercurius Politicus OF September.
1858, occurs an advertisement Of the
China drink called by the Chineans

until 1877 is there a record OF the
East India company having taken any
steps for its importation.

The residents of Tarkhan must have
been extremely prosperous. according
to the evidence furnished by the eXca
vations. They were provided abun-
dainty with beautiful ornaments for
their households and persons. and also
with innumerable useful articles OF
practical necessity in the kitchen. the
dining hall and the boudoir. Some of
the tombs are SO well preserved that
the whole story of Egyptian reverence
for the dead and belief In immortality
can be read by a glance at the tomb
be seen the little slit through which
the soul comes forth for its offerings.
The offertory still stands, as do the
piles OF pottery which once bore food
and drink for the departed. and which
were brought to the tomb by the rela-
tives and friends.
Many works of art of the eighteenth
and nineteenth dynasties have been
discovered by further clearing OF the
great temple of Ptah, In Memphis.
From some of the excavated work
shops in Memphis have been procured
all the utensils used In the manufac
ture Of stone vases and examples OF
the vases in all stages OF construc-
ton. Colored stones which were
brought from the desert and other
rich stones which were imported into
Egypt for use in making ornaments
for the very wealthy have been found
in these shops.
A few miles south of Gizeh excava-
tions revealed some unusually large
tsmbs of the twelfth and thirteenth
dynasties. The excavations revealed
that a robbery had been attempted
centuries ago. The robber had en-
tered the tomb by little opening. the
result OF a piece Of excavating on his
own account, and he had gathered to-
gether a little heap of ornaments with
which he was about to make off when
the top Of the tomb had fallen on him
and crushed him. His skeleton was
found in the tomb by the excavators.
and close to It a handsome gold pee
toral inlaid with colored stones. of
which the poor wretch had hoped to
rob the dead.
