A Samson Of the West.

Jonas Johns, or "Big JONAS" is the
Goliah of this region, and some of the
stories of his strength and endurance
sound fabulous. In 1858 he gained a
national reputation by walking from Iii
nois to California, pushing his provis-
ions before him in wheelbarrow. He
was living in Knox county, ILL.,, when
the gold fever swept over the country,
AMI, being in the early twenties of his
life, was fired with an ambition to join
the Argonauts. He was imperfectly &C
quainted with English, and had but $40
in cash, so he walked across Illinois and
Iowa to Omaha, making the distance in
two weeks. There he bought wheel
barrow, and laid in stock of provisions.
With those, on the 18th day af April, he
pushed boldly out, and ninety days
thereafter he "landed safely at the
diggings, some fifty miles northeast of
Sacramento, the first successful placer
mines. Here he went to work in the
same independent way he made the
journey-alone-and was successful. He
was able to earn from $40 to $20per day,
according to the number of hours he
put in. A year satisfied him, and with
q bag, we'll filed with "dust," he re-
turned, by way of Panama and New
York, to his former home in Illinois.
His feats of strength are no less re-
markable. About twenty years ago he
found COW in no uncommon predica-
ment in those days-mired in a slough.
A team of horses, planted on firm
ground, had proved unable to draw her
from the mire, whereupon Jonas, laying
down some boards to give good foot
ing, lifted her bodily out of the swamp,
and, Selling her by the horns, dragged
her to firm ground. At another time his
wagon loaded with hay became mired
down and the horses failed to extricate
it. Jonas got impatient, and going to
the rear he raised the load and pushed it
forward to better ground, making a lift
which is moderately estimated at not
less than 1900 pounds, and performed
under unfavorable conditions. He is
now hale. ruddy-faced man of So years,
located on fine farm of 100 acres in
Boone and Hamilton counties, well
stocked and improved, beside being the
fortunate owner of two others, $50 and
100 acres, respectively. He was born
in Sweden, was % years old when he
came to America, and has been resi-
dent of this county for twenty-three
years. He stands SIX feet two inches in
his stockings, and tips the beam at 245
pounds. A No. IL boot accommodates
his foot, and his hand is that of giant.
