"How I Came to Morrison
County,"
By o. A. COE
Continued from December 3D.


In the fall of 1856 there we're large
swarms of grasshoppers that came
here and destroyed nearly every
thing. But this was nothing to the
number and amount destroyed the
next year, when they ate up every
thing. Corn, wheat and potatoes
were eaten down to the ground three
times and then did not come up
again.
The grass was all gone on the
prairies and we had to go back into
the woods from sixto ten miles for
hay, and it was very scarce at that
distance.
That fall hauled freight from St.
Paul, Clearwater and St. Cloud to
Crow Wing and Leech Lake. Late
that fall, 81, took my two teams
and went to St. Paul and got two
loads of -four and some groceries.
saved out II sacks OF -four for my
family, which lasted US until the next
= fall. I sold the remainder
and, together with what [ made on
the -four and what other freighting I
did, made $500 that summer and
fall. All had the same chance Some
paid as high as $8 per 100 lbs. for
flour that winter In Little Falls.
In the winter of 1858, with my two
OK teams, [ hauled the boiler for the
first steam boat and mill ever used
in the Indian country. The steam
boat was owned by the missionaries.
Francis Specs went along and hauled
the other machinery. The steam
boat was used on the Mississippi
river, Leech Lake and Winnebegosh-
ish. We left the boiler on tine north
shore OF Winnebegostish lake. We
had d little trouble when crossing
Leech lake. It. had been quite warm
for few days past and The snow
and ice had melted some. There was
quite place on the edge OF the lake
that was only just frozen over a
little. The night before it had
showed so we could not see the bad
place. One OF our oxen got in and
if it had not been for an Indian and
half-breed that heard our cries for
help, we would have lost one OK, and
no doubt both, as the ice was giving
away fast, but after great deal OF
hard work we started on. | received
$1O0 for my work. Had to pay $50
for the sled to haul the boiler on.
l came home alone, camping out
four nights on the road. One day,
on my way home, when l stopped at
noon to rest, had just got my fire
built when eleven Indians came and
sat down by the fire and ate their
lunch. While they were eating I
overheard one OF them say, in their
own language, that they would kill
me, take my oxen and money. I
walked up where they were and told
them l was not the least afraid OF
their killing me. Soon after they
packed up and went away. l do not
know whether they really intended
to kill me or not. 1t was always
best to not show you were afraid
even if you were The Indians are
great admirers Of courageous people
and if persons show that theyare not
afr aid they will seldom hurt them,
while if they act scared, it is almost
certain death to them.
I "ill soon speak OF the Indian
outbreak.

BICYCLE RECOVERED.
ia S. Armstrong Ends His Stolen
Wheel.

Last June an Ideal bicycle be-
longing to Jas. Armstrong was
stolen in this city, and all trace lost
until it was found Monday in posses
sion of Chas. johnson, a young ma
living with his parents on First ave-
nue. southeast. Johnson was ar
rested and bound over to the
grand Jury in 500 bonds. The
young fellow claims thai he bought
the wheel in Bismarck, N. D.. where
he was working last summer. Chief
Bailey had beed on the lookout for
the wheel, which Mr.. Armstrong had
recognized. The wheel corresponded
in all particulars to the one stolen:
The numbers had been filled in, and
when cleaned, were found to be the
same. 1t doesn't seem that the bov
would ride the wheel around in the
town where he stole it, and it may
be that his story is true.

ton saving that he was well and COM
ing on to join the boys who left him
behind.
John Barney was 4 Chicago boy.
He came to Rock Island not long ago
and secured employment with the
Tri-City Railway company, and was
serving in the capacity of conductor
when the war broke out. Then came
the call for volunteers. Barney heard
Company A was in need of men, and
he cast aside his duties and hastened
to the armory and enlisted. There
was no happier lad in the company
than he when he donned the blue and
marched away to serve his country.
He made friends rapidly and all the
member of the company liked him.
He was ever willing to do his part,
and the boys, now mourning his
death, speak of him as one of the best
fellows and most gallant of soldiers.

two divisions of the battalion are sta

a committee has already been
at work in the interest of this
city Hon William McEniry, who is
a member, went to Chicago the other
day to interview Gen. Shaffner, and
today went TO Springfield to confer
with Gov. Tanner and Gen. Reece on
the same subject. There are
many arguments in favor of Rock ISL
and. The city has sent 20 Naval Re-
serves to the front, who, if one divis-
ion is taken from Moline and not
brought here, viii be left out of a
division entirely. Besides the city
was the first to apply for the division,
and will probably get it.
