//It was the Chickasaw Indian agent with or through who he dealt and so it was not until he waked the **County Recorder** that Saturday night with the deed, patent, to the land and the gold Spanish coin, that the town learned that he now owned a hundred square miles of some of the best virgin bottom land in the country, though even that knowledge came too late because Sutpen himself was gone, where to again they did not know.//
