Has a large farm \ under cultivation, and lives in a very comfortable man- \ ner, having good, substantial frontier buildings. He \ commenced life as a wild Indian trapper, until, becom - \ ing familiar with almost all of the unexplored region \ of the West, and being a remarkable truthful and re- \ liable man, he was much sought after as a guide, and \ accompanied several expeditions in that capacity. His \ life has been one of bold adventure, fraught with many \ interesting incidents, which, if properly written out, \ would form an interesting and entertaining volume. - \ Batty.
