Martin Escacerga, a Mexican, but claiming himself to be a Spaniard, came 
here in the early seventies and worked for Peter Martin in the wood 
business along the river for some time. He had lived on Papineau bottom 
or in the south part of the Pease Valley ever since his arrival. He 
proved up on the northwest quarter of sec. 7-96-66 where the Bartholdi 
store opposite the "Red, White and Blue" school house stands. He now 
lives on the bank of Spring creek a little over a mile east of this 
school house. His wife is the half blood daughter of Peter Martin.
