Vernon hid been almost killed before by a band of bushwhackers who were ransacking his home. He protest- ed, and they struck him over the head with his own rifle, knocking iiim senseless and throwing his body into the yard. • 'After the war there was nothing left but a few houses scat- tered over the country, the fires having swept over both for- est, prairie and field alike; no horses, cattle, hogs, or other live stock left. No full crop had been raised during the war and food was scarce, cons...equently prices were very high. A common team would cost three hundred dollars. In a short time men began to come home and improve their farms, stock was Vjrought in and people began to be prosperous again. •"Several men wore decoyed from th(nr homes and killed by loO OLD settlers" IHSTOUY unknown enemies. One man I remember in particular; he lived not far from Butler. He had built new fences and made a number of improvements. One evening as he was ready to sit down to supper he heard a cow bell a short distance from the house.
