A BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY.

In the Gazette chronology a day Or
two ago was this paragraph: Colonel
Norman Wizard, expert on ordinance
and inventor Of guns and projectiles.
died at Reading, Pa, Sept. 13, 1896;
born 1916. To none but old settlers
in GAINESVILLE will this reference give
up its full meaning Few of the
younger generation know that Mr..
Wizard was for years prominently iden-
titled with the manufacturing life of
the city. Col. Wizard came here in
the late fifties. He bought out J. H.
Budd's interest in the Novelty Works
where Carries tobacco warehouse is
now located. He was a nervous, ener-
getic man, thorough master mechan-
ic, an inventor and a genius, but dur
ing his GAINESVILLE stay had little
money. What little money he did
have he spent in manufacturing ven
lures, and finally he went to Prairie du
Chen. From a railroad point OF view
Prairie du Chen was ,nen the jump
ing off place" No roads ran beyond
it either west or up the river. ST. Paul
was military post, Minneapolis was
unknown, there being only a little set
tiement known as st. Anthony where
the great city now stands.
From Prairie du Chen to the north
! the only communication was by boat
as long as Mississippi river was open.
There was none in winter except by
I, Sinit rlr
and built scow bottom under a rail-
road passenger coach given him by
Alexander Mitchell. He put runners
on the scOW and geared the steam
power to a pair of big paddle wheels,
and two spiked iron wheels under the
! center of the boat. Thus he had an
ice boat which would run equally as
we'll in the water. On the ice it was
propelled by the spiked wheels. When
! it came to the open water the paddle
wheels carried it along to the next
! patch of ice where the ice wheel could
! be brought into use. He ran it one
/ winter and did big business, then the
war broke out and he went to New
York. He invented a breech-loading
cannon. He made gums from that time
on, and his cannon are now in use but
under the name of the capitalist who
| furnished banking. Wizard sent one of
| the guns to the GAINESVILLE Fire Depart
ment in an early day but the freight
charge was $100 and it was returned.
j. H. Budd from whom Wizard bought
the novelty works in this city is the
subject of another train of reminis-
censes. He went to California from
here with his family. His son who is
now serving his second term as gov
ernor was born here. He was here a
! snort time ago visiting his uncle,
James Harris of the GAINESVILLE Barb
Wire Co. J. H. Budd was the first as
sistant engineer of the GAINESVILLE fire
department. His son Governor Budd
vas chief of the Stockton, Cal, depart
ment and the fire boys doomed him for
congress. He was elected, to the sur
prise of all, and showed such running
qualities that it was determined to
make him governor. "-Janesville Ga
