Incidents of the Mine Owners Early
Life in Jenersonville.
Louisville Times.

A telegram from Victor Col, announces
that w. s.. Stratton had struck rich lead
into a gold mine which would yield $4,000
ton. Stratton was already a fortunate
miner.
A few years ago this same w. S. Stratton
lived in Jacksonville. He was the son of
Myron Stratton, a well-known carpenter
and builder. He was known as Winnie
and was rather wild. His Last exploit in
his native town was to strike one Christie
pher Heyn, his fathers partner. over the
head with a Ratchet, leaving him on the
field for dead. Mr.. Heyn recovered, how
ever, and young Stratton was never heard
from until he struck rich mine in the
West. He is held in high regard by the
people OF Colorado. When he got into
trouble in Jeffersonville he was addicted to
drink, but when sober was good citizen.
In time to come he will doubtless be held
up 20 the youth of Colorado as one of the
pioneers of the State. whose example ought
to be followed. Simon Kenton. the pioneer
of Kentucky, IL Is said. came to Kentucky
from Virginia under similar circumstances.
having assaulted a man in Virginia, leav-
ing his native place between two days No
one will say aught against Simon
Kenton, and no one in Colorado in the
years TO come will refer to the assault of
Winnie Stratton on Chris Heyn at Jeffer-
sonville about the year 1875.
Mr.. Stratton has money 10 devote to
public enterprises. which will help 10 make
his name great in his adopted State, and
who knows but some day he Will be sent
TO the United States Senate. His father
was content to serve in the Jeffersonville
Council, and died before his son had become
eminent as miner.
