J. H. Baker’s Diary
(continued from front page)
each. 1 have rented the Kyle farm
for this year.
Mon. Feb. 24. Went to the Kyle
farm early and plowed until noon.
1 was then sent for to try a man for
shooting up the public square. He
was fined $1 and costs. 1 then
went back to the farm and plowed
the remainder of the afternoon.
Wed., Feb. 26. Plowed until
•noon, when 1 was called to town to
attend the funeral of J. B. Veale,
who was killed yesterday by the
Indians, at. the mouth of Ioni, on
the Brazos. Mr. Veale killed one
Indian in the fight. Another man
was wounded, but escaped because
of his fleet horse, which jumped off
the steep rocks into the deep water
of Eagle Creek west of town. The
Indians did not follow him further.
The Indians are said to be in a
cave west of town, some two or
three miles. (This was Lovers Re-
treat as I have heard my parents
say later. 1 have also been in that
cave. It is between town and
Lovers Retreat and is quite a good
size place.—Elizabeth Baker.) Mr.
Veale was buried with Masonic
rites honors at 4 p. m.
Friday, March 14. My wife gave
birth to a daughter today. Both
seem to be doing nicely. Weather
pleasant.
Tuesday, April 1. The weather
is warm and the grasshoppers are
here, doing great damage. They
have ruined most of the oats in this
county, and heavy frosts have kill-
ed all of the peaches.
Tuesday, April 10. Held an ex-
amining trial on a charge of an
‘‘attempt to commit a rape” but the
evidence not being sufficient, the
defendant was discharged. Start-
ed for home this p. m. on an as-
sessing tour. Crossed Ioni, passed
O. M. Lynn’s place and G. R.
Jewell's and arrived at N. Browner’s
on Cedar Creek after nightfall. N.
E. Young is my traveling com-
panion. Considerable northwester
is blowing. Part of the roads are
very rough.
Friday, April 1 I. Clear and cold
this morning. Passed up Cedar
Creek to the Kerr and Yancy neigh-
borhoods; thence to the Cooper
ranch where we found Warren’s
■■'L 1 .1______ . . ______US
herd; thence to Johnston's ranch,
apd on to the Gonsolus' where we
are staying all night, with Mr.
Schoolcraft. The day was pleas-
ant. Grasshoppers numerous and
most of the crops are destroyed.
Saturday, April 12. Cool this
morning. Went to Pickettville and
did the assessing there and on the
Sandy and Hubbard Creeks. Young
is shooting turkeys.
Sunday, April 13. Young did
not get his turkey and we could
not find a settlement so we had
no supper, npr will we have break-
fast until we find a house. Had to
hunt quite a while before finding
our horses this morning. Came to
Mr. Clark’s on the clear fork and
got breakfast. Came up the C. F.
to Fort Davis, doing a little work
on the way. Are stopping with
the Graham boys.
Monday, April 14. Started early.
Bill $3. Came to Griffin and have
done considerable work. A cold
norther blew all day. We are stay-
ing all night with W. HvLedbetter.
Tuesday, April 15. Spent the
entire day here assessing. A cold
norther all day. We are spending
the night with Bro. Stribling. 1 do
not feel well.
