CHAPTER XIII.

Wherein the Route Of the Under
ground Railroad Is Surveyed and
Samson and Harry Spend a Night
in the Home of Henry Brimstead
and Hear Surprising Revelations,
c~onfdentially Disclosed.
Early in the autumn of that year
the Reverend Elijah Lovejoy Of AL
ton had spent a night with the Tray
lors on his way to the North. Sitting
by the freside he had told many a
vivid tale of the cruelties of slavery.
II would not have you think that
all Shareholders are wicked and heart
less" he said. "They are like other
men the world over. Some are kind
and indulgent. If all men were like
them slavery could be tolerated. But
they are not. Some men are brutal
in the North as well as in the South.
If not made so by nature they are
made so by drink. To give them the
power of life and death over human
beings, which they seem to have in
parts of the South, is a crime against
God and civilization"
II agree with you" said Samson.
81 knew that you would" the min
lister went on. eve have already had
some help from you but we need more.
I take it as a duty which God has
laid upon me to help every fugitive
that reaches my door. You can help
the good work of mercy and grace.
If you hear three taps upon your win
dow after dark or the boot of an owl
in your dooryard you will know what
1t means. Fix some place on your
farm where these poor people who are
seeking the freedom which God wills
for all His children, may find rest and
refreshment and security until they
have strength to go on"
Within a week after the visit of
MIR. Lovejoy, Samson and Harry built
a hollow haystack about halfway from
the house to the barn. The stack had
a comfortable room inside of it about
eight feet by seven and some six feet
in height. Its entrance was an open
ing lei the bottom of the stack well
screened by the pendant hay. But no
fugitive came to occupy it that winter.
Soon after the new year of 1885
Samson and Harry moved the Kelsos
to Tazewell county. Mr.. Kelso had
received an appointment as land agent
and was to be stationed at the little
settlement of Hopedale neal the home
Of John Peasley.
Late in the afternoon Harry and
Samson left the KelSoS and their eff
fects at a small frame house in the
little village of Hopedale. The men
had no sooner begun to unload than

BONDHOLDERS
BUY THE Mill
COTTONWOOD MILLING CO.,
SOLD BY SHERIFF
WEDNESDAY.

The Cottonwood Milling Co., a
local corporation formed some
six years ago with about 60
business men and farmers as the
stockholders. and which conduct
ed a general grain and milling
business until about two years
ago, when the business of the
cooperation ceased to some eX-
tent because of financial diff
culhes, was sold TO the bond
holders. who comprise about %
business men and farmers of
this immediate vicinity for $l7,-
900 by Sheriff j. G. Eimers of
Grangeville to satisfy Il judg-
ment of $127,320.62 rendered in
favor of the Idaho Trust CO., of
Lewiston on the 22nd day of
November, 1922.
The sale was conducted at 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning with
Sheriff J. G. Eimels acting as
auctioneer. The machinery was
the first item offered for sale by
the sheriff and a bid of $4,000
was made on the same by John
F. Nuxoll, representing the bond
holders. The building was then
offered for sale and Mr.. Nuxoll,
again bidding for the bondhold-
ers made bid of $4,000. IN
neither case was the bid of Mr.
Nuxoll raised. The entire trans
action of the sheriff required
no more than 10 minutes. Fifty
or sixty people were present at
the sale, some fifteen being dir
ectly interested in the same.
The sale of the milling COM
pany, Wednesday, now puts the
property in the direct hands of
the bondholders and eliminates
all those who formerly held
stock in the company who did
not buy bonds. 1t also clears the
institution of all old debts and
the bondholdcrs are now in a
position to proceed with the OPP
GRAFTON of the mill if they so de-
sire or to lease the same.
We understand ii is the plan
OF the bondholders to operate
the mill after reorganizing with
a capital stock of $4,000 or
