Fri Dec 7 Clear mostly but cold and windy.
I attended court but they have not got to me
yet so I will have to go tomorrow again.
Johny went to school.

Sat Dec 8 Clear and nice.
I still attended court to day [today] and after giving
in my evidence I was excused so I claimed
my fees and milage [mileage] and then got ready and came
home. Johny went up to the ranch.

Sun Dec 9 Fine and pleasant and
mostly clear. Mother and I went over to Charleys.
We had a nice visit. Mr and Mrs McNeal were there
too. Meda John and Arthur kept Sunday.

Mon Dec 10 Cold raw and
windy but cleared of [off] towards night. I turned the
water on to Bristol then fixed the bridge up
on the hill then fixed the threshing engine
brake then worked at the buggy wheels the
rest of the day. Johny went to school. A team
ran away somewhere towards town or from
there and got stuck on one of our hitching
posts and I guess we shall have to put them
into the barn to night [tonight].

Tues Dec 11 Clear and nice but a little
sharp. Lew and I went to Spring Canion [Canyon] ranch.
Found the stock all there and looking very well.
We got some very good promises from the
old woman that they would vacate the place
soon. Johny went to school.
