The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-15

June 8, 1851. The document is colored
with age and consists Of three sheets OF
blue foolscap paper, written on both
sides, signed by Charles Bazille and his
wife, Anna Jane. The instrument was
executed before William Pitt Murray, as
notary public, and witnessed by G. Il.
Smith
Mr.. Murray is now living and one OF
ST. Paul's most active and useful citizens,
and remembering, as he does, the hal
cyon days Of long ago. his mind is we'll
stored with happy incidents and the
genial hospitality of the early settlers
that was particularly characteristic OF
the people who laid the foundation Of the
present city of st. Paul. Judge Flan-
drau, who has been prominently iden-
titled with st. Paul since the days when
Indians lurked in every ravine about the
city and their traditions were household
words, has more than once publicly paid
high tribute to the cordially and cheer
of the first inhabitants of the city.
In 1851, as every one knows. st. Paul
was hardly more than a Western trading
post. Perhaps the most mooted question
of the time was the future location Of the
city of St Paul. Mendoza was as large
as st. Paul, and the upper and lower
town residents carried on a continual
friendly warfare for supremacy. Sew
eral sites were offered for a state house
by the partisans of both sides. There
was no dispute as to the need of the ter
ritory for new building in which to
transact public business. The building
then in. use was small structure on
Third street, wholly inadequate for the
purpose. In 1851 the territorial legisla-
ture passed law appointing Louis Ro-
bert, Daniel F. Bramley Edwin A. G..
Hatch and John McKusicll to look up a
site for state house, and made an ap-
preparation for its construction. Mr.. Ba-
lille came forward and donated the pres
ent site on Wabasha street.
1.-THE rivalry between upper and lower
town." said William Pitt Murray yes
terday, in calling to mind the event
was even more vigorous than that
which followed between ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. Us fellows of upper town
just laid out the people on the other side
of Wabasha street. No one ever dream
ed of the present city of today The
gift of Mr.. Bazille." continued Mr.. Muir

Charles Perry. is still alive, liv-
ing on the shores of Lake Jo-
hanna. He is one of the old
est men in Minnesota today in point of
residence. and is said to have lived in St
Paul and its direct vicinity longer than
any other man. His father, Abraham
Perry, located at the mouth of Fountain
cave, which is now occupied by Stahl-
mans brewery. Some time In the 40's
the Fort Smelling military reservation
was extended to what Is now known as
Seven corners, and the little colony Of
French settlers were driven off forcibly
by the soldiers. and took up homes near
er the town. Abraham Perry died in 1S49
at an advanced age, after having met
with many misfortunes. Charles Perry
took up a homestead Of what Is now
Como park, then a rank growth of hazel
brush, scrub oak, with. an occasional
cluster of pines on the low lands In
1S49 settlers became too numerous for
Mr.. Charles Perry and he moved out to

since, enjoying his Tess pretentious cabin

now, the central distributing point for

everything of trade Importance was just

west the chattels of settlers and sup
plies from the East found their way over
land through a savage country by crude
methods Of transportation. The RED

beaten trail between st. Anthony and
Pembina.
The present site of the state house is
a part Of a tract originally decided by
the government to Chas Bazille at a land
sale held at Saltwater Mr. Bazille was
