Grant estate for mules I had purchased at the 

 public sale held by the administrator of this 

 estate in April, litll. and when I was settling 

 with Mr. C. D. Matthews he asked me what 

 else I had to meet besides his claims, and I 

 told him nothing but this mule note and the 

 one 1 owed A. J. Matthews, and tliat I would 

 expect him to help me care for it when they 

 became due, to which he made me no answer, 

 but as we were "jiai-tners," as he had said, and 

 I had made a very fair crop and turned him 

 over all the proceeds of it, I did not think 

 there would be any difficulty in raising the 

 money to care for this paper, as I would still 

 have the stock to offer as security. Well, on 

 this date, Jan. 2, 1912, I went in to see Mr. 

 Matthews about it, and imagine my surprise and 

 feelings when he told me he could not do it, as 

 he had no money to loan. Now, I had paid 



did get a little concession in the same, as I 

 had the right to sell the farm myself, which 

 1 did not liave in former contract. At last, 

 after a couple of weeks of worry and effort, I 

 had gained, as the prisoner would say, a post- 

 ponement of my execution, and so I returned 

 to the farm to recuperate and continue to await 

 and try to help bring about the time when 

 that other fellow would come along and relieve 

 me of my burden. 



Now, 1 have shown you that it does get HOT 

 down in this country, and as 1 kept the dally 

 weather record all the time 1 am in a position 

 to and will show you that it sure does get 

 cold in this country also. Jan. 6, 1912, ther- 

 mometer showed a temperature of 3 degrees 

 below zero and snow on the ground, just like 

 a northern country. Jan. 7th at 6 a. m., 15 

 degrees below zero; 7 p. m., 3 degrees below.

him every cent I had realized from my crop, 

 not even retaining enough to meet the interest 

 on these mule notes, and then to be thrown 

 down this way at this time did not seem right, 

 but he would not let me have the money, so 

 Mr. Moser and I started out to find it some 

 place else, as he was on tho Tire'' wit^^ me 

 to the Grant estate, and neither one of us 

 wanted to be sued. I went to the People's 

 Bank and explained the situation, offering the 

 mules and Mr. Moser, who was well worth sev- 

 eral thousand dollars, as security, but when 

 they found out I was farming a farm bought of 

 C. D. Matthews and did all my trading with 

 him they sidestepped the accommodation by 

 saying they did not have the money. Then Mr. 

 Moser took a hand, and he found the money 

 for me of C. M. Smith & Bro.; also they had 

 me renew their option for sale of farm, but 1 



Jan. 9th, .5 degrees above: Jan. 11th, 10 de-

 a regular blizzard; Jan. 12th, 6 a. m., 3 de-

 Jan. 13th, 6 a. m., 12 degrees below and 4

 Jan. 19th, 7 a. m., 20 degrees above; Feb. 3d,

 course there was a slight rise in temperature

 board shacks, as well as the stock in the fields, 

 did suffer.
