It wasnft all boiled there was Cox's Grove, and looked forward to it-- and Pickle Frank. He was at the Alamo Hotel, and I donft wonder new days how he developed his temper for we pestered him most to death just to get him riled and have him carry on. And there were dances, and the caballeros, and Murietta, and the time the ox get mired and had its neck broken, and the earth- quake, but I guess IYve told you all you want to know about the Stone place.
