Another Old Timer Pays Tribute.
y Charles Gurley, writing to the TR1B-
UNE from Washington, pays tribute to
Rev. I. o. Sloan, as follows:
"Bright on the list of Burleigh county
pioneers and conspicuous among the
names of those who have carried the
Glad Tidings of the Gospel to Dakota,
and particularly to the Missouri slope,
,rwill forever stand the name of Rev. 10.
Sloan. I have just read in the TRIBUNE
of October IL the tribute paid to this
venerable and greatly beloved man by
the Presbytery. of Bismarck at it's meet
ing recently held in Mandan, and also
the sketch of his frontier service, SO
correctly given. He was my fathers
friend and he was MY friend. In the early
days ofsBismarck,w when law and order had
not that respect and Difference which ls
always their due; when every other
building on Main street was q place of
Liquid Refreshment' or q Lair of the
Tiger; when you and your neighbor al
ways took your pistol with you when on
your way home from the store at night;
when disorder and violence, the usual
and inevitable concomitants Of a frontier
town, in the days Of 'auld lang syne,'
in those days, do I recall how everyone,
be he cowboy or law-abiding citizen, al
ways received recognition and pleasant
solutation from Father Sloan. The
gambler and the bar keeper would as he
passed their doors greet him.
"The story Of the collection taken up
by Denny Hannafn when he espied
Father Sloan in his place one morning,
when the game was in full blast is
familiary to all old timers. Whether
the story be founded On cold facts, or
not, it remains as part OF the chronicles
OF the early days Of Bismarck.
"When the history Of North Dakota's
capital city is written and the noble
deeds Of her early settlers are recounted,
no niche in her templeof fame will con-
tain q brighter name than that of
Father Sloan, who like the Master he
80 veil served, went about doing good"
