Whiskey Turned into Dfshwater.
A sensation that has stirred Barre
to the lowest depths developed Tues
day. A 4s-gallon cask seized in a
lunch room at Depot square the 1st
has been tampered with and the con-
tents when brought to light were
found to be dishwater instead of
whiskey. Mayor C. w. Melcher
issued notice suspending the entire
police department until after the in
vestigation. The notice says that
there has been gross violation of the
law and that it has been alleged the
officers named are criminally negli-
gent or have been guilty of knowingly
conniving to the violation, and pend
ing the investigation are suspended
until further notice. The liquor was
stored the day of the raid in the po-
lice station and then the cask was
taken to the city hall and placed in a
room to which no one but the janitor
and City Judge A. D. Fay have keys.
The officers in the raid tasted the
liquor at the time of the seizure and
declared it whiskey. 1t is now dish
water.

NATHAN w. MYRICK.
Short Sketch of the Man Whose Agent
Was the First White Man Killed.

Nathan Myrick, who died recent
ly in ST. Paul, and owned a trading
post at the lower agency at the time
! of the Indian outbreak, was born in
New York in 1922. He came west
when he was 10 years old and set
tied in Prairie du Chen, Wis. He
had little money when he started,
but lost it through various forms of
luck. Associated with Eben Weld,
he obtained a small stock of goods,
suitable for the Indian trade, and in
a small boat conveyed them up the
Mississippi river to an island op-
posite the fiat prairie, then called
''Prairie La Crosse" A log cabin
was built and his store was open
ed. He had but 10 cents left of his
capital when he opened his store for
business. He was quite successful
from the start, selling nearly all his
goods in a month to the Winneba-
goes. He had numerous adventur-
es, some of them thrilling and peril
Gus, and on one occasion his cabi n
was attacked by the Indians and
the door was riddled by bullets.
In the spring of 1912 he abandon
ed his cabin and erected and occu-
pied another on the mainland, on
the Wisconsin side, where the city
of La Crosse now stands. He laid
out the city, and the next year came
to Fort Smelling. He and Auguste
Chouteau, who laid out St. Louis,
are said to be the two youngest city
founders in American history.
Mr.. Myrick went back to New
York the next year and married an
old schoolmate, Miss Rebecca E.
Isman. They returned to La Crosse
and lived there for several wears.
He was appointed the first postmas-
ter, and at his suggestion the settle
ment was named La Crosse because
the Indians were won't to assemble
there to play their favorlte game OIL
lacrosse.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-06-17

In June, 184S, Myrick left La
Crosse and came with his family to
ST. Paul. He has ever since been q
resident of the city except for short
intervals when called away on bust
ness. He formed a partnership with
H. M. Rice, and for many years they
were engaged ia the Indian trade in
Minnesota. They had trading stor-
es in Sank Rapids, Sank Center,
Itasca, St. Peter, Winnebago Agen-
cy. Yellow Stone, Redwood, Big
Stone Lake, Fort Ransom, Fort Sew
ard and at other points.
In the Sioux outbreak in 1862 all
their stores were destroyed by the
Indians. The total loss was est
mated at 100000.
Mr.. Myrick retired from active
business in 1876, but has been in
terested more or less since then in
mining enterprises and real estate
in other parts of the country.
His agent, Hon. James W. Lynd,
at the lower agency, was the first
man killed by the Indians, his MUIR
derer being the Indian, One Trav-
els Like Sacred White Man. This
young buck, while Mr.. Lynd was
standing ia the door of the trading
post watching the movements of
the scowling Indians, raised his
gun and exclaimed: ''Now, I will
kill the dog who would not give me
credit. F" He aimed and fired point
blank, the shot killing Mr.. Lynd
instantly. His body was not mutt
lated, and after the Indians were
driven back, it was buried in the
soil where it lay by Mr.. Myrick,
and the late Hon. C. D. GiI6llan, be-
fore his own demise, erected mon
ument to the memory of the agent
on the spot where he was buried.

Twin CITY LETTER
Memorial Day in the Cities-The Depleted
Ranks of the Veterans Contrast Be-
tween Them and the Spanish War
Survivors An Automobile Accident
and its Lessons.
ESPECIAL CoRREspoNDENCE.]

The event of the week just past
was Memorial day, with its uniform
ed parades, it's inspiring music, it's
fervent oratory, the newspaper &C
counts of valorous deeds on the
battle field and the floral tributes
laid on the graves of our soldier
dead. While we witness this spec
tacle from year to year, it does not
seem to grow monotonous. Each
recurring occasion differs from the
preceding one only in the depletion
of the ranks and the greater uncer-
tainty of the veterans step; still we
do not tire of them. A few more
years and the march will be aban-
doned, so far as the veterans of the
war of the rebellion are concerned.
Memorial day, being created by law
of both state and nation, will con-
tinue to be observed, and ex sol
diers, marching under the starry
ensign of this young but mighty
nation, will still be seen, but in that
procession, keeping step to the
piercing shrek of the fife and the
solemn roll of the drum, will be none
of the old veterans whose bowed
forms and silvery hair have made
them such a conspicuous and famil-
lar figure in the past. Their places
will be filled by the survivors of the
Spanish American war, who will
maintain during their lifetime an
organization similar to that OF the
Grand Army of the Republic.
I" Like the dew-drops on the meadow,
Underneath the morning sun.
Sure and swift the boys are fading,
With their marching nearly done.
Soon their ranks of blue will vanish
From the land for which they bled:
Soon the army of the living
Will be marching with the dead

out of it. The machine was not be-
ling driven at a reckless rate OF
speed. It was not going even as
fast as one would naturally drive
good carriage horse in such local
| ity. The driver also blew the horn
and tried to steer the machine
around the girl. The effort was a
failure. and the girl was run over
by the big machine and not only in
stantly killed, but horribly multi
ated.
The question is, how and to what
extent can the running of automo-
biles be regulated, in order to pre-
vent such accidents? 1t would be
almost unreasonable to limit their
speed to anything below that of the
ordinary trotting gait of carriage
horse, and yet this accident proves
that even that speed by heavy ma
chine that approaches as silently as
the tread of a cat, except when the
horn is blown, is dangerous. It is
also difficult, as we'll as hardship
to the children, to prevent their
playing in the street, especially in
localities where there is no other
place for them to play.
1t is barely possible that when
children and pedestrians learn how
dangerous these machines are when
in motion they will be more wary.
And in the mean time the men who
drive the machines may, in view OF
their great danger, become more
careful as we'll as skilful in the handl-
ing of them. If so then the problem
will have solved itself. The auto
mobile has evidently come to stay,
a fact which no one deprecates pro-
vided the accompanying danger may
be reduced to the level of that of the
bicycle or carriage. W. M. T.

While there is something pathetic
and sad in the program Of Memorial
day observance, there is that about
it which makes one feel himself to
be better citizen-m more of a man
or woman-for having participated
in it. There is no other gift, no
other deed, which so 6ttingly and
truly expresses the affection and
devotion of the human heart as the
gift of flowers. And when we place
upon the hallowed graves Of our
soldier dead the rarest flowers
which bounteous earth provides. we
are paying the very highest tribute
of our affection andsesteem. There
is also something in the character of
the observance which acts as an in
centive to patriotism, not only to us
but to the younger millions, whose
minds are yet plastic and receptive.
X
1t is fitting indeed that ssthe day
selected for Memorial day comes at
season when the verdure of the
foliage is richest and purest; when
the face of nature smiles to respon-
sive sky; when the air abounds in
the songs OF birds, and is Tredolent
with the fragrance of buds and
blossoms. In all these things Ma
ture seems to give to the pathetic
program her rarest.benediction.
The sudden killing of little girl
by an automobile on 'the streets Of
St. Paul indicates that the people OF
the cities are upsagainst a problem
with respect to the use of these pom.
derous road machines that is not
easy of solution. In this case tt e
little girl, with other little girls, was
playing in the street, when along
came a two-seated automobile of the
largest pattern, carrying two young
men and two young ladies. The
girl was warned by her companions
of the approach of the automobile,
and tried to get out of the way, but
she evidently became confused, as
she jumped into danger rather than

In the recent Memorial day parade
nothing was more noticeable than
the great difference in appearance
between the old veterans of the six
ties and the younger veterans of the
nineties who marched behind them.
The former were stopped, gray and
wrinkled, and their step uncertain.
The latter marched with erectforms
and elastic step, while their eyes
displayed the fire and enthusiasm of
youth. They constituted in every
respect the flower of American man
hood. What striking contrast !!
To the older ones the younger con-
stituted solemn retrospect, while
to the younger, the older constituted
a still more solemn prospect.
