employment in Minneapolis, but growing tired of working for other parties after two
years, and being anxious to better his financial condition, he removed to Acton,
this county, and took a homestead on section 8, where he now lives. He has a fine
farm of 200 acres of excellent arable land, all of which he has made by his own
