One faction, led by McCleary, of Currant Creek, stood for the "Drovers' Home." "It's right out near the stockyards an' it's a good place.

Dollar a day covers everything, unless you want a big room, which is a quarter extra.

Grub is all right--and some darn nice girls waitin' on the table, too." But Thompson who owned the sheep was contemptuous.

"I want to be in town; I don't go to Chicago to live out in the stockyards; I want to be where things go by.

I ante my valise at the Grand Palace or the New Merchants'; the best is good enough for me." McCleary looked a little put down.
