~ Hidden Timber, South Dakota
September 16, 1938, Friday: Bright nice day, quite warm in the sun out of north breeze in p.m. I got meals. Will went horseback last evening to see Stanley about taking large barrow to Winner, and he brought home the mail. Stanley came this a.m. and took a hog to Winner Sale Pavilion, so will and I, after lunch, went to Winner to Sale, and Will got everyday shoes and groceries. Our hog weighed 490 pounds and brought $5.65 per hundred pounds.
Tom and Stanley had cattle for sale, also Harry Furrey had some there. We went on the east road and saw a man on horseback a mile south of 18, and at nearly the same place again on way home, that it seemed spooky, for he was going west each time.
