The town was being torn down and carted away.

The balloon-frame buildings were coming apart section by section.
I could see at least a hundred teams and wagons carting lumber, furniture, and everything that made up the town over the prairies to the eastward.
My pupil at buffalo hunting was Dr.Webb, president of the town-site company of the Kansas Pacific.

After I had ridden away without listening to his explanations he had invited the citizens of Rome to come over and see where the new railroad division town of Hays City was to be built.

He supplied them with wagons for the journey from a number of rock wagons that had been lent him by the Government to assist him in the location of a new town.

The distance was only a mile, and he got a crowd.
