[Hosea Stout Diary] Monday June 14th 1847. Sent out 5 men, two to drive cattle in from the corn field and three on guard.
I moved in the forenoon to the house which I bought of Smoot, which was much more comfortable than the one I now live in.
There was a large drove of cattle brought in from the corn this day which caused an unaccountable murmuring by some who owned them showing plainly that they were willingly ignorant of their cattle being on the corn
The stray pen was full tonight & we had to guard it to keep the cattle from being taken away without paying the forfeiture of the law. I was out untill eleven oclock.
