April 24, 1883, Tuesday

Clear - warm - pleasant.  Went to Orange Grove and looked at much of crop which is very promising.  The railroad hands have excavated some Indian remains in the last few days - not far from oak tree near the old race stable on the Clark.  Bones (but very crumbly), pipes, small bowls, small beads (white), red paint, stones for pounding corn.  On of the clerks at the store tells me they dug up a medal, which I have not seen.  Portions of a musket too rusty to show any lettering, I saw.  Also glass bottles and fragments of pottery.
Wrote Richie in reply.  Wrote Frank in reply. 
Drove over parts of Clark and Donaldson in the afternoon.  Neither Mr. Edwards nor Mr. Chiapella came as I expected.
