Some Early Saline County History.

EDITORS JOURNAL :-Referring to an
item in last weeks JOURNAL, | wish to
say that your informant has got things
somewhat mixed. The facts are briefly
ss follows: There were two doctors
who figured hero during those early
times, yet neither were the "first set
tier" l will name them in the order in
which they came. DR.. Graw was q
German, and came here, l think, from
Illinois. He made his appearance hero
IN the spring of 1858, about two months
after the first permanent settlement and
before q house had been built on the
TOWNSHIP OF Salina. He WAS . lively,
rafting sort Of q fellow, with q fond.
ness for playing the violin, and weak
ness tor town site speculation. His
mission WAS TO lay off town to be call
cd Granville" in honor of himself.
This he did, or pretended to do, upon
the left bank OF tho Saline, four or five
miles northeast of Sslins. The lands west
Of the 9th principal meridian, were then
0nsarveyed, and there Was no means of
sscertaining the number of section,
township or range. This did not deter
the doctor from locating his town. Sc
leoting starting point on the Saline,
no measured OF mile square, - nearly
- could be done with . tape line, and
planted . stake at each corner. The
york of sub-divioing these ample limits
into streets, alleys and lots, Was left to
the imagination. Alex Campbell and
assisted in the survey, and the doctor,
who could do generous thing when no
liked, promised US four lots apiece in the
future Granville. The doctor then
made preparation to leave us, in order
to have shares of stock in the town OF
Granville printed. Before gong, his
eye caught the glitter Of . specimen OF
IRON ore, which some one had picked up
on Iron Mound, five miles southeast Of
Salina. Here was discovery Of min
eral wealth, which it would not do to
pass BY. He inquired whence it was
obtained how much there WAS Of it,
etc. and engaged young man on the
spot to take that claim ter him. For
fear some one should get ahead of him
in securing this rich mineral deposit,
the young man was urged to start at
daylight next morning, and lay Q foun-
dstion on Iron Mound for DR.. Graw,
which Was accordingly done. The
doctor returned to Lawrence and has |
not since been seen in these parts. He
was not the "first settler" nor q settler |

ed of.
To the teachers not in attendance, we
would say that the Saline County Insti.
tute is conducted by as good corps OF
teachers this year AS Kansas can pro-
duce.
OF the teachers in attendance, quito q
number were present last session, and
have been doing good work throughout
the county, and we arc glad to see them
present again, thereby showing that
they have an interest in their work.
While on the other hand, some are new,
and have never taught, but from the in
teiligence manifested, We feel safe in
saying that they, too, will be successful.
The majority are young ladies, and We
are glad to note that fact, tor they
usually show themselves competent for
tho work, and, as a rule, are less in
Auenced by pecuniary notions. Besides
it is work to which they are peculiarly
adapted. We are in no danger of hay
ing too many lady teachers, and We have
no hesitation in saying that Saline coun-
ty compares favorably as regards the
number and quality of her lady teach
ers, with any county in the State.
During the session there will be four
lectures. Miss Travis, Prof. Pomeroy
and Prof. J. WherrIy, are expected, and
Miss Wright will probaly lecture some
time next week.
Superintendent Bishop is anxious
that oil the teachers Of the county will
lend their presence during tho continu-
snce of the session, as It is very i'm
pOrtant matter, and should not be neg
iected. r. G. l..

The hoor IN his room at the Baldwin hotel,
yesterday afternoon, with pistol. shot wound
in the abdomen. He had been dead sevsroI
hours. No frearm was found in his room
and as the hemorrhage was entirely internal
there was no means of judging of his move
ments subsequent to the fatal shot. He was
a native Of Massachusetts, and aged forty
i've years. There is some ground for the
opinion that the act was murder, as the
clothing OF the deceased was not burnt where
the ball entered 1t is said a STRANGER in

went there during the morning; since which
nothing has been seen of him. Bacon bust
