lie faint hearted went back lo

ihe fall of 1897 Mr. Crabb and J
3. Vincent started a store in Val-
jntine and the first of the year
1898 Mr. Crabb left the trea .r-

/he store. They seemed to do a
; oed business but did not make as
nuch money as they anticipited
ind Vincent sold his interest to
Will Morgareidgo and Morgar-
; idge in turn to Claude Reece.
Hie store was not a financial suc
cess and was closed up in 1892 to
my creditors.
Mr. Crabb and family went to
