SOME "REMINISCENCES OF A PIONEER.
On Monday it gave a HERALD reporter
uncommon pleasure to grasp the hand
of our venerable friend, Mark Scott, who
has been visiting for a few days in this
city with Garrett Spencer. He is in his
eightieth year, but his memory of scenes
and events in early times in Grant Coun-
ty is as fresh and vivid as ever His
wife died last October and since then his
home has been with daughter at Jeffer-
son. In 1874 he came down the Ohio
River and up the Mississippi on steam
boat when the country hereabouts was
as wild as imaginable. His farm of 24C
acres at Glen Haven, which he has just
sold for $1,000, he then located and pur-
chased for $3.50 an acre, 1t required
lots of backbone and muscle to be a
pioneer in those early days. His nearest
neighbor was eight miles away, and
James Woodhouse was then boy of 10,
whose fathers family was ''near''
neighbor of Mr. SCOTS, living some L
miles distant. For meat the early set
tiers relied almost entirely on the game
that abounded, deer and bears being very
plentiful The Pottawattamie Indians
provided through the woods in those ear.

said he could have had an Indian fol
breakfast any morning he chose to take
his rifle and bring one down, and any
one looking at his stalwart frame, now
slightly bent by the ravages of '.old
Father Time, could not doubt his hav-
ing grit enough to do it. One day som,
80 or IS years ago Mr.. Scott came t.
Lancaster, arriving after the dinner houl
was past. and drove to the hotel on tn,
site of the present Wright House, ther
kept by the late Daniel Baniill, and sait
