doubt them of the premises.
HISTORY OF TIE COLONY.
The colony of. Graceyille, as 1 hare
before said, is located in the southern half
of Traverse and the northern half of Bio
Stone counties, having the village of
Graceville for Its center. At the time of
Its inception there was Of course much
government land which was rapidly taken
by the settlers under the homestead and
presumption acts. Latterly the indemnify
lands OF the St. Paul, Minneapolis d Man
1toba Railroad company, located within
the vicinity OF the colony, were placed at
the disposal of Bishop Ireland, as agent
for their sale. These lands to some ex
tent, say about twenty-five thousand (2o,-
O0o) acres, within a radius of ten (1O) or
twelve (l2) miles of Graceville, can still be
procured of the bishop at prices ranging
between four (S4) and ten $40 dollars per
acre. Besides these lands partially i'm
proved farms can be purchased at very
reasonable figures and quite an amount of
school lands are still held by the state.
FIRST SETTLEMENT
The settlement of the colony was begun
in March. 1878, at which time there was
nothing but wide, desolat prairie to at
tract the attention of the emigrant, with
out human habitation for miles, and no
preparation made for opening up the coun-
try by our modern civilizer, the railroad.
During that summer quito number of
families were located. while with the advent
of the railroad which arrived in Julv.
1879, emigration began to roll thither like
the waves of the sea to wards its shore

Couple to this in the same person a man

more at the outbreak of the rebellion
one who dctied the Rebel sentiment ex-
pressed in the same city at the peril of
his life: one who, among all the engi-
neers in the employ of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, alone had the
courage to run a locomotive through the
mob with important papers to the Gov
ernment at Washington, through barri-
cades and flying missiles; one who, in
defiance of Secesh abetting corpora
ton. by which he was employed, ran a
locomotive to Washington for the use of
the government. when it stood in immi-
nent need of its services for the trans
portation of troops and who. singly and
alone, at the constant peril of his life,
for seven weeks worked day and night
with his engine TO fulfill its desires when
there was none other ready to do so; one
who was captured by Rebel raiders and
had his train burned before his eyes:

him to perform in the very teeth OF fren-
