This would make him as much of Digiti zed by Google 162 A FIRST FAMILY OF TA8AJARA. the ^pioneer disco...verer' as the rattlesnake who first takes up board and lodgings and then possession in a prairie dog's burrow. And if the traveler's tale is true that the rattlesnake sometimes makes a meal of his landlord, the story told at Sidon may be equally credible that the original pioneer mysteriously disappeared about the time tlmt Dan Harcourt came into the property. From which it would seem that Harcourt is not in a position for his friends to invite very deep scrutiny into his ^ pioneer ' achieve- ments."
