several others received billiards

There were, according to re-

Farewell Retention.

The farewell reception rendered Mr..
and Mrs 6. 7. Neubert Thursday night
by the members of the mechanical
department of this division of the

event in railroad .Circles this season.
The fact that' Mr.. and Mrs. Nuebert
are soon to remove permantly to Ar

thorough enjoymentiof the evenings
exercises. However, their friends
looked upon their departure in a phil
osOphical manner and did everything
in their power to make the event
pleasant.for them.
The reception was given in the K.
of P. Hall. There were nearly two
hundred persons present, representing
men and their families who were in a
sense under the direction of Mr.. Neu-
bert whileNhe was foreman of the
round hOuse'here. An enjoyable mus
ical program had been'arranged, but
the most interesting part Of the exer-
cises was Misrepresentation to Mr.. and
Mrs. Neubert of a handsome silver
tea set, token of respect from Mr..
Neubert's SubordinateS. In a few
we'll chosen words Engineer Danen-
berg told with what feelings of regrets
they looked upon their departure, and
presented the tea set as a small token
of remembrance from the railroad
men of the mechanical department of
this division. Mr.. and Mrs. Neubert
each made short speech of accept
ance, which showed plainly their feel
ilngs, and their regard for the railroad

Stories of an Early Day.

10 the early settlement of the cOun
W, taking a claim was the first thing
to be done. This could be, and was
done 10 several ways. Along the Dor,
der of the territory where timber was
convenient to be had, hauling a load
of wood onto the claim and laying
four piles of the timber, forming a
square, was considered sufficient, in
other places a stake driven in the
ground with a single or board
nailed to the stake, and the date and
name of the claimant written thereon.
Some built small houses or shauties,
as they were then called, while many
of the early settlers made dugOuts.
Many Others built sod houses. Some
broke the hedge rows around their
claims. This could only be done
where the section corners could be
found. Any and all Of the above i'm.
prOyements were considered sufficient
to hold the claim for six months, or
until the person taking the claim
could get his family onto the land.
My first experience in trying to get
claim was with an old bachelor.
Only a dollar difference between what
he wanted and what l wanted, spoil
ed a trade on 100 acres Of good Sum-
ner county land. My next venture
was about as unsuccessful as the first.
A gentleman by the name of George
Lawrence, at that time lived south
west Of where South Haven now is,
near the state line. A camped at his
house over night. In the afternoon
he and / selected claim. II think
A. Graf now owns the land.) The
next morning we took his team and
went down on the Chikaskia after a
load of wood. When we got back, a
man and his family were on the claim.
Driving up to his wagon, said: "hel-
10, you are on my claim" mo" said
he, "thiS is my claim" swell, l will
give or take dollar for my interest
in it," l said. "All right" said he,
"here is your dollar" We unloaded
the wood, and l gave Lawrence half
Of the money. Land was cheaper 10
those days than at present, when a
dollar caused the failure or success of
trade on quarter section of land.

An Old Wellington Bow

Ralph Folks, an Old-time Yelling
ton boy and at one time foreman Of
the old Sumner County Press, rolled
in from San Francisco last Thursday.
He came to visit his brother, Willis
X. Folks of this city, and hisparents,
Mr., and Mrs. j. B. Folks, at Milan.
He will remain some time.
The visit from Mr. Folks brings up
old time recollections of early days in
Wellington, when the print shop was
a mine of wealth and the printer was
king in the realm of labor. He was
fOremen of the old Press office under
Jacob Stotler back in the early SN's.
Ralph left Wellington in 1856 and has
travelled far and wide on land and sea,
following the trade Of his youth. He
first went tc California, traversing the
coast from San Diego to Seattle. He
enlisted in the navy at San Francisco
going on the cruiser Charleston in the
capacity of ship printer. He hello
this position year and a half, finally
kicking out of the job. While in thu
navy he visited MANY FOREIGN port,
and countries and gained a world o,
useful information, and much valu-
able experience. Since leaving thu
navy he has held several valuable
positions with printing firms on tht
coast. He is now assistant foreman
Of the firm of Il. S. Crocker & Co.
printers, San Francisco. There arr
few of the old Wellington "prints'
who held cases with him here in the
early days who are not now scattered
to the four corners Of the earth.
