H. 1 will say by the way that while
there are some good lands in the cele
brated Wichita country, I failed to find
any lands on theroutethat would tempt
me to stop longer than a night, and the
Indians have located on the best land
that lay along our line of travel. We
pitched camp twice in this county, and
found plenty of wood and water. Gam
was scarce; some of oar crowd fou d
turkey and deer tracks in abundance
and followed these around until they
saw a few tracks about as large as the
end of a beer keg which they supposed
to be the foot-prints of a Mexican lion,
and they immediately skulked back to
camp. I don't think any of the boys
would let a turkey bite them in daylight,
but after night, it is my opinion, that
they would allow themselves to be
chewed by a turkey hen, under the im-
pression that they would have no right
to resent it. If the boys happen to see
this, and other things that I am called
upon to write, I may have trouble, but
as a faithful chronicler of history, I am
bound to tell the truth.
Our caravan reached the east line on
the evening of the 18tli, and went into
camp. After a hearty supper of un-
leavened bread and bacon rinds, in com-
pany with four desperate pioneers,your
correspondent started In by the light of
the north star, aided by the light of
hard earned experience, to explore the
or three of them securing anything
worth mentioning. The lots around
the public square were soon dotted with
tents as also was Main street for a short
distance from the square. The princi-
pal streets presented a busy scene the
morning following the opening, as sev-
eral business firms had already set up
in business and nearly everything eat-
able could be found there in abundance
Water was supplied by enterprising
rustlers who hauled It in barrels from
the river. It sold somewhat cheaper
than it did in Tecumseh, although it
was very dusty and dry, the appearance
of the country indicating that no rain
had fallen there for five or six weeks.
In regard to'the country surrounding
the town, it can be classed as generally
very broken, with very narrow, though
fertile valleys. Gypsum hills can be
seen in all directions, and it is needless
to say that the water is strongly im-
pregnated with it. The country is
poorly supplied with timber, what little
is found there Is scattered along the
faces made a good study when they
found themselves badly beaten by half
a thousand white boomers.
Ye local staked an alley the long way
of the town and left the Probate Judge
to look after it.
The Kiowa Chief, Po-mi-no-mln-tah,
visited our camp on the line of county
11, and dined with us. He said his tribe
had good lands and would not sell to
government. He was about fifty years
old and could make himself under-
stood in English aided by a few signs.
On the way home we found a rudely
constructed real estate office seven
miles from the townsite, and the notice
"claims for sale" was plainly seen from
the road side. He was a Cleveland
county man and said he was doing a
land office business.
