Montana Area.

In 1906 he found the elderly chinese miner Al Moon frozen to death 
near Moon's cabin at Yreka.  He buried him the next day.

Later that same year James Boles of Sunset was kicked in the face 
by a colt with four white feet and a white nose.  Garnet being the 
nearest place with a doctor, his wife brought him there for 
treatment.  But it seems poor James Boles got even more treatment 
than he needed.  The doctor, after ascertaining that no bones were 
broken, sewed the wound up with six stitches, all the while 
humming:
	"Four white feet and a white nose,
	Take his hide and feed the crows."
