There is no good reason to believe
any Of the sensational rumors afloat
to the effect of disaster having befal-
len some of the Grant county Klon-
dikers. The Herald has taken pains
to run these stories down and can
find no good reason to believe any of
them. They have apparently arisen
from letters sent home Immediately
after the avalanche and before the
Grant county people had had time to
all see or hear from one another,
Hon. o. c. Hathaway and wife,
of Green Ray, Wis, are visiting for a
week in Lancaster and vicinity re-
newing old-time friendships. They
are guests Of Mr.. and Mrs. r.. b.
Showalter. Mr.. Hathaway was once
prominent in business and political
matters in this county, being super
intendent of the company that car
ried on extensive lead mining at Mus
callonge, and for several years repre-
senting this county in the state SEN
ate. He left the county bout fifteen
years ago and is now conducting a
large business handling coal, grain,
cement, etc, in Green Bay. O. c.
Hathaway and wife have big place
in the affections OF not few old
friends in this county who will
greatly enjoy their visit here.
The first Of the Lancaster Klon-
dikers to write after getting over the
pass was John Muesse. He and his
party, Barber, Mccarthy and Hutchin-
son crossed the summit AprilS s. His
letter was written,the 10th. At that
time there We're other Grant county
parties over but none of he Lancaster
boys. He says they started to pack
up their camp outfit at > o'clock Fri
day morning, the Sth carrying it from
the Scales to the summit where they
already had their other goods. 1t was
long hard climb and they were tired
but they had to push on down the
other side to find place to camp
where there was wood and boughs for
bedding. They went down the noun
tains ten miles before finding a camp
ing place, arriving there Saturday
morning. SO they were twenty-four
hours without rest or sleep, but got
through that far safe and sound.
Now that Lancaster has become
50 citifed with its electric lights and
waterworks its citizens should BE
more careful to remember .where
they are at" If you do not already
know, study the plat of the city in
