The Forest Republican

We have received a private letter from W. W. Dimond, dated at Cauker City, Kansas, Aug. 26. He says he has almost come to a stop; so we suppose he will settle somewhere near there. Seven buffaloes paid the town a visit a few days before his arrival, and there are droves of them only twelve miles from the city. He proposed to pay them a visit on the day he wrote. We suppose we shall hear of a great slaughter of the buffaloes, as soon as Will. draws a bead on them. He has passed through some of the prettiest country during the past two weeks, that he has ever seen. Crops are good as ever were raised in the country. There is much more land taken up than he expected. From the city of Solomon to Cauker City, the distance is eighty miles. Wm., in company with three others, hired a team to take them to the latter place. It took them two days to make the journey, and cost them thirty dollars beside their board. If he concludes to stay there he hopes he will not have many such trips to make. He promises us another letter soon.
