here Clipped In and hired n teacher, an
aged tramp who told US he could teach
school. He was an old broken-down
miner, well educated and refined but
of a restless temperament and being
unable to work, possibly found solace
In wandering. / think We paid him
fifty dollars n month. One morning,
about two months after school began,
the boys went to school but soon re-
turned saying there was no teacher.
Nothing was ever seer or heard OF the
man whose name l cannot recall, after
that. He disappeared as completely
M II the earth had opened up and
swallowed him. There we're eight
children In attendance. Sid and VIII
Oliver were two, and Sam Cottrell's
two boys, but ! do not remember who
the other children were. II is my rec
objection that there was no school the
following year. and that the Medley
school was opened in 1887. although II
may have been ono year earlier.
Mr.. Sorenson was also mistaken IN
stating that the first election was held
at Medley. The first election was held
In 1880. when Garfield and Hancock
we're the presidential candidates. and
was held In Sam Cooks house, near
Horse Island, on the ranch now owned
by l.. l.. Evans. Dick Driscoll, Martin
