Winfield Courier, Thursday, September 17, 1885.

The old building was moved off the lot of Wallis & Wallis, where Tyner has been, Saturday, and this firm will begin the excavation for a fine business building, to be erected at once. Curns & Manser also talk seriously of building on the lot adjoining, while Daniel Hunt will extend the Stump building back eighty feet. Verily, the city boometh.

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, June 12, 1886. From Friday’s Daily.

A man by the name of Daniel Hunt, who resides now in Winfield, but formerly in Bolton Township, was sent out into the disputed territory to defeat the Ft. Smith & Wellington bonds. He went over into West Bolton and began telling his “dear old neighbors” that they did not want this road, but he had only told a few of this fact until he suddenly discovered that his “dear old neighbors” did want it. He then changed his tactics. Taking one of the judges of the election to one side, the brave Daniel informed him his business there was to see about purchasing his stallion. The judge displayed his horse to Daniel. Suddenly it came into his head that he did not want to buy, but that he longed to sell his own team. When an offer was made to purchase his team, he again “craw fished,” and finally took his departure for the swampy regions some 13 miles up the Walnut.
