Genets son died the other day in
New York, where he had liveu all his 80
years His father, the minister, who
came to this country In 1898, remained
and became a citizen; he was friend
and admirer of George Clinton, and
when in his middle life son was born
to him he gave the boy Clintons name.
So when George Clinton Genet died so
recently New York took-not OF course.
SO much interest as in prize fight or
something really important-but de-
cent degree of interest.
For it was curious fact that this
gray-haired old man had heard in his
youth from his fathers own lips per-
sonal "reminiscences of both the French
and the American revolutions; and that
thus single life interviewed between
Washington and the present day.
Genet married an Albany lady of
good family and practiced the law I'M
til Is years ago and gained fortune.
This country has always had an at
traction for Frenchmen of title or
ability Few men of his day knew our
west better than Chateaubriand. The
Bonapartes Of Trenton and Baltimore
are a famous case in point. 1t has
long been believed by many that Mar

Dalton run dam near this city, to pay
off the men employed there. The two
men made a plucky run for it and for
tunately escaped, but not until two
horses had been killed and about %
shots had been exchanged.
Both men were heavily armed and
driving in a buggy with the money in
satchel at their feet. Close behind
them. on horse back rode Chester Mil
tenberger, an employe, who has been
in the habit of riding down from the
dam to meet and protect the paymas-
tiers. Across his knees Miltenberger
carried a loaded Winchester rifle.
The first intimation that the party
had that there was trouble ahead, was
a fusilade Of shots from the ---~1s and
the tottering and sudden twitching of
the horse which was drawing buggy.
In a moment the horse Mr.. Miltenber-
ger was riding had been shot from un-
der him. The paying party at once
drew their weapons and directed their
fire toward the woods, where as vet
they had been unable to see their as
sailants. The horse which Ramsey and
Howard were driving staggered on and
just as it became apparent that he
must go down, Howard grabbed the
valfse, jumped from the buggy and
started to run. Ramsey also left the
vehicle, but he and Miltenberger re-
treated but slowly, still exchanging
shots with the men in the woods. A
ball grazed Ramsey's forehead and
inflicted a slight wound. Otherwise the
men escaped uninjured.
