seventh day of May last, Ernest Fin
ger, who then resided with bis grand
father, “Uncle Andy” Odell[ od Findley

leaving a note stating that he would

seen yesterday and stated that he had
taken in the west, having tried cowboy
life, etc. Ernest says he has been in
Texas, the Indian Territory and Mon
tana. He says he likes the west and
western life, and Montana best of fall
that wild and woolly section. Among
the many souvenirs brought back by
the young adventurer are a pair of
“greaser"-made pantaloonas, a big ri
fle that shoots a steel bullet, a belt
full of the steel’cartridges, a long hunt
ing kmfe. a big pistol, enormous spurs, |
a pair of fancy gauntlets, a Mexican j
sombrero, and a long string of stories
of western life. Ernest talks of big
game, &e., just like an old-timer, and
is at present the hero of his settlement.
