HOW PENN yam GOT ITS NAME.
The Queer Result of a Compromise Between
Contending Settlers

(Sing Sing Prison Star of Hope)
At the foot of Lake Keuka is situated
Penn Yam, County seat of Yates County, n.
Y, and. as the name has a peculiar origin,
it may prove interesting to some. In the
earlier days of emigration and settlement
companies of people left the settled colo
MES, travelling in canvas-covered wagons,
drawn as often by oxen rs by horses, and
camping wherever they were overtaken by
night. They had no definite destination,
but Travelled on until they CHANGED upon
some spot which they thought favorable
to quiet, peaceful settlement, where they
could erect homes and engage in the hon
Orablc pursuit of farming,
y company of such people had left the
New England States, and, driving across
tho country, eventually arrived at the foot
of Lake Kcuka. There being an abund-
ance Of water and thousands of acres of
as nice farming land as anyone could de-
sire, they realized the advantages of locat-
ing there, and pitched their camp accord
ingly.
a few days later party of emigrants
from Pennsylvania CHANGED upon the
same spot, and were welcomed by the first
settlers, and were invited by them to To-
cate there, which they finally concluded to
do, for by Joining forces they were better
able to defend themselves against the at
tackS of Indians, who were quite numer-
Gus. ms second party were what are
commonly called pennsylvania Dutch"
They began the erection of houses built
Of logs, and when it began to assume the
appearance of a village they thought
it should be given n name. Those from
the New England States claimed the right
of naming the village by reason of discov-
cry and first occupation, but the matter
was finally compromised and named Penn
Yam in honor of both parties-Penn in
honor of Pennsylvania, and Van, in honor
of the Yankees as all people from the New
England States were called. 1t finally be-
came 4 popular route for emigrant travel
ers going to- the wild and UNEMPLOYED
West, and many others located there. the
place continuing to grow, until nov it is a
thriving town Of several thousand inhab-
itantS.

trade.
st. Paul was at that time nothing
more than a frontier settlement; few
traders stores, what was called hotel

that, farther eaSD, and the Government
house. Gov. Alexander Ramsey was in
charge here; he was the first Governor of
Minnesota Territory. BY the way, he is
still living at st. Paul, well into the 'S0s.)
The Indians here were the Dakotas, or
Sioux, as we call them. Their proper
name by which they call themselves, is
La KotaS, or Dakotas. and they were the

We had the Corn Planters at home, in
Pennsylvania, it is true, but they wore

were only fit to pilot RATS down the Allie

| had not the least idea that this man
had seen any bear tracks at all. 1t was
quite dark in among the bushes up here,
and after | had gone part of the way
up | almost concluded to go back and
wait for daylight; but if | did that the
men would laugh ut me. SO L kept on.
About Il hundred yards above camp the
path made a sharp turn to the left, and
just as | had got in sight of this turn
some animal came crOwding through the
bushes. and out into the path. He was
not 10 yards away from me, but, of
course, | could just see him move, and
that was all.
That bear story flashed across my mind,
and | stopped and dropped my bucket on
the rocks. and the tin cup in it made n
terrible racket. The bear raised up on
his hind legs and gave whoop. l was
scared, and my first thought was to give
a yell, and then run. But l thought that
if | did that, the bear would just grab me
and eat me up. | did not know as much
about black bears then as / do now; have
hunted them since. Had | started to run
he would not have followed me foot, for
he was as badly scared as l was. He
could not have been worse scared, though.
/ hauled out the dragon pistol, then
holding my left arm in front of me for
a rest, as l did when firing at target,
l turned the pistol loose. At the second
shot the bear fell, but l kept blazing away
until | had emptied the pistol. BY this
time all the men were up there.
What are you firing at, johnny"
Remington asked me.
Il think it is a bear, sir; he is lying
up yonder in the path"
Remington walked up to it, and said:
Yes. it is a bear, and the biggest one

A Modest Hero.

Very few people know that Wichita
has more heroes Of the civil war than
probably any other city of its size in
America. There are at least dozen old
soldiers in town who played important
parts in that memorable struggle. 1t is
said that the famous Confederate chief
tain, Stonewall Jackson, was defeated
but once in battle, and that was by Gen
James Shields. 1t was A. J. Weaver, of
this city, who captured StOnewall Jack
sons eCamp. He is one of the most
modest old soldiers. 1t was at Winches-
ter. battlefield associated with the name
and the fame of Sheridan. The COnfed-
crates were behind stone wall and Civ
ing the Union soldiers hot time. Capt.
Viewers regiment, the 10th Pa, got an
order to march obliquely across an open
held, and was suffering severely, when Mr..
Weaver ran up to the Colonel and sug-
gcSted that the movement was a mistake
THANK You" said the Colonel who imme-
diately ordered a forward movement and
Il charge upon the stone wall that shell
tered the COnfedefates. Capt Weaver led
the charge and was the first to get over
the stone wall. One man was shot dead
on the right of him. and another was shot
dead on the left Of him, and Capt. Weaver
was shot on the top of the head. He
stumbled over the stone wall, but recov-
cred III time to shoot a Confederate Cap
tain through the forehead. Two Confed-
crate officers We're on horseback in an
open space, trying to get away
"Haltn' said Capt. Weaver, cor you
shall die
They halted
Capt. Weaver took their swords and
placed them under guard. One of them
proved to be George ID. Jenkins. Abide
Camp to Stonewall Jackson.
Capt. Weaver admits that he was
scared that day. Men fell about him in
every direction. He sought the shelter of
a tree Mt one time and was unconscious
for several minutes. He had fred 81 shots
without knowing it. He had that many
in his pocket. and when he returned to
consciousness he had none. 'And / didn't
have any holes in my pocket, either" adds
Capt. Weaver
Mr.. Weaver recently returned from n
four months visit in the East. where he
visited friends at many points in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. He spent day at Get
tysburg, where his old regiment distin-
guished itself, and tells many interesting
stories of that battlefield. At Harrisburg
he visited the Legislature while it was in
session and found that in the matter of
appearance and general intelligence the
average Kansas Legislature is far and no.
tlceably superior to it, Although the
Pennsylvania State House cost 81 900 900.
II is barn compared with the Kansas
State House. He rubbed it in on every
body he met in comparing the East with
Kansas, and telling them how far Wichita
was ahead of the Eastern towns Capt
Weaver says he couldn't live back East
now.-Wichita kan.t Eagle.
