thoroughly prepared for such an ac-

at so early an hour. Next day he
found that the barrels consigned to
Sarpy were gone, and saw how COM

and indignant, he reported the COM
pany to the authorities, and a long
train of difficulties ensued, with in
effectual threats of canceling the

in the stomachs Of the Indians, and
the company reaped the enormous
profit which traffic in that article al
ways yielded.

not mean that such a one was pos
