Biography:
"A horse trader by profession," with the usual unscrupulousness of that profession (127). He is described with a few vivid details: the "cheap nickel watch" he displays; the "shaven beard" that is "heaviest from the corners of his mouth to his chin; the way he "looks always as though he were chewing tobacco" (127). The fact that "he was usually engaged in litigation with the railroad company over the violent demise of some of his stock by its agency" makes him very similar to I.O. Snopes in "Mule in the Yard." (In Flags in the Dust I.O. runs Flem's restaurant.)
