1882 - May 23 - Ben Mobley isn't out West roaming theprairie in search of Frank James.

We learn from a Presbyterian deacon who put in last Sunday in fishing at the lake, that the Maxinkuckee fishing association has had Bea employed for some weeks in protecting the lake from seiners. Ben is such a good watcher thathe saw the members of the association, when they attempted to seine, and stoppedthem.
