He found the West so much to his liking that he wished to stay and was willing to sell his train ticket home for $25.00. Heston didn't need to hear anymore, he made up his mind then and there he was going to Michigan University and attend law school.

Martin went at once to a clothing store and purchased a new suit. He then went to the railroad station and took the next train to Toledo, Ohio.

Yost booted him playfully in the rear, and asked him what in the devil was he was doing here? Martin's reply was that he was going to the university and study law as Mr. Yost had earlier advised.
