(Continued from page 1)
Press seriously ill with pneu-
monia Since coming home Le2
has heard nothing from his ailing
relative but relies on the absence
of news in hia belief that Jack is
improving
Had a chat last week with Mr
and Mn Edgar Coles and learnt
from that pioneer couple much to
aid me in keeping the history
straigt Mrs Coles is a sister of
Harry Carter who died recently
in California She is the young
eat member of the Carter family
A brother resides at Protection
The Coles' told me that he was
at the Cowhands' Reunion at
Freedom I regret that I failed
to meet him
I yes under the image:ion
the Dilly Mien yes still sties
IHRHOM(glISSOORTIOR
in California Edgar told me
that Billy died ahead of Tom
and all three brothers have row
passed from mortal realm Billy
died while out prtspntiog in
Arizona
I also learn that the Coles have
sold only the home place to Dick
Wilson and retain the balance of
the ranch They had thought
for sometime of moving the farm
stead from the creek to another
part of the domain since the
house is on one side and the
other buildings on the opposite
shore That means wading back
and forth They got tired of it
Tbis wet spell and attendant
thods reminded Gene Pardee of
high water in earlier days Onee
he swam the Arknoses at Dodge
City when the river wa9 bank
full and a quartermile:wide The
icy cold water nearly chilled him
to death
Once he crossed the raging
Medicine with a wagonload of
supplies Befire tackling the
flood he fastened posts across the
top of the wagon bed and piled
his supplies on top Even that
precaution failed to keep - the
stuff from getting soaked
on another occasion he and
Tom Dyer and several cowboys
started from west of the Cimar
ron to a roundup near Enid
Their chuck wagon bogged down
in the Cimarron west of Way
noka They had to carry their
supplies out piecemeal It took
a half day to save the outfit
But bad luck dogged them fir
ther Driving along Turkey creek
near Lahoma a mule shied and
dumped the wagon over the
bark into the creek There was
anothrr half day lost!
Tom Greer is selling out his
stock of groceries intending to
take a long vacation in the Pao
ific northwest His Service Gro
eery has yielded him nice profit
in the last five years but belt g
staked out continuously on the
same 25 foot lot has become irk
some and nerve wrecking for
him Hence he yearns for a
change of scene and more free
