His father owned large tree claim
on the north prairie. Land in those
days was not considered worth much
and his father tried to trade the tree
claim to Peter Ehr for a couple IT

good to him and that the heifers were,
so he turned down the proposition.
Levi once rode a saddle pony into

Levi had no use for the lot 50 kept the
pony. The lot IS worth perhaps ten
or fifteen thousand dollars today.

full in obtaining endorsement of the

An effort was made to bring about
the endorsement Of the candidates,
but It was abandoned when the spon-
sors of the plan discovered the tenn

expected.
