Dallas purchased his land from Lewis Reilly, former editor of the Mirror, and boarded his family with Mr. Mullan when he brought them here in January, 1884. Against Mullan, Dunne has bitter animosity. In time, Dallas determined to leave...

The colonists, mostly poor men, had gone to Florida resting on the confidence of Dunne's published letters and a pamphlet. They...

About 50 have asked him to ratify their marriages contracted while the parish...
