PETER DUNN

	Peter Dunn, residing near Dunn Postoffice, Stevens county, is a
native of Ireland, born March 17, 1850.  At the age of seven years he was
left an orphan, and when thirteen years old came to New York city,
subsequently living in various portions of the state.  While still a 
young man he bought and sold cattle.
	In 1889 he came to Washington, and located his present home, on
Dunn creek, Stevens county, being the first settler in that vicinity, the
stream being named after him.  He owns one hundred and sixty acres of 
land, all fenced, has a good house, barn and outbuildings, and is 
profitably engaged in the stock business.  He has a band of full blooded
Durham cattle, a number of hogs and a small flock of sheep.  He
cultivated seventy-five acres, which is well irrigated.  Mr. Dunn came to
his present location with limited means, but is now prosperous and 
independent.  He has never worked for a salary, but since early youth has
generally been engaged in business on his own account.
	He is a bachelor, an enterprising citizen, and manifests a lively
interest in local affairs.
