He came to Kingfisher and rested at the home of Monroe Davis, who had a claim in the Cheyenne Country, about 2 /12 miles west of Kingfisher. While he was waiting for the Sept. 16 opening of the Cherokee Outlet, a Cheyenne Indian doctor, Standbar, came by the ranch on his way to El Reno. Goodale and Standbar smoked a peace pipe and the Indian loaned Goodale the pony to ride in the race for land. The Indian was one that had fought against General Custer. Goodale staked his claim two miles north of Ames and lived on it the rest of his life.
