The Arsonauts.

The above name ''Argonauts", Is the
one given TO them selves by that brave
band OF men from Butler and ADJOINING
places VINO left Pittsburg on March -.
1919, for California in search of gold
They are sometimes called the Forty
miners They went by the overland
burg TO st Louis, Missouri and from
there to California on foot. more than
two thousand miles. The great West
was then but thinly populated and
their hardships were very trying and
severe. But they trudged along with
their OK carts until they finally reached
the golden land.
Some returned and some never did.
In after years those returning formed
the society they now call the Argo-
nauts for the purpose of keeping up
acquaintance and social intercourse
They meet annually at Pittsburg The
Pittsburg papers of Tuesday gave an
account of their meeting Monday last,
one Of them the News contained pho
tographa Of Maj F.C Negley and George
Michael Dorch, formerly Of Butler. and
Mr.. Henry c. Heineman yet living here.
These gentleman take an active part
III each meeting, and their pictures ~
presented in the News were looked
upon by their old friends with much
interest. Their interest in their society
is something akin to that of the mem
bers Of the Grand army Of the Republic
boys, and the present generation can
not duly appreciate their great trials in
1919.
