SON OF A FORMER BARBOUR
COUNTY MAN WAS THE HERO
OF THE POEM.

Mr.. chas. W. Robinson. national
bank examiner has recently made an
interesting investigation. Shortly af.
ter the death of Secretary of State
John Hay he read the account given
below concerning the setting of Mr..
Hays poem entitled -Little Breaches"
Knowing that a man named Proud
foot moved from Taylor's Drain, in
Barbour county, to Iowa some years
ago, Mr.. Robinson wrote friend Of
his there for verification of the story.
He found it to be true as the letter
given below shows. Sol Vanscoy
mentioned in the letter formerly lived
in Barbour county. Thus the poem and
its history are of peculiar interest to
West virginians. We give the poem
also to-day feeling that 1t will be read
with increased interest in view OF the
history here given.

WHERE MR.. HAY GOT THEM.
Originals Of "Jim sludso" and "Lit.
tie Breeehes."


The recent death of John Hay has
brought about revival OF interest in
his poetry. especially the Pike County
Ballads, of which Jim Bludso of the
Prairie Belle and Little Brooches"
were among the best known. Since
the authors death the relatives of a
dozen old Mississippi pilots have set
forth the claim that their ancestor
was the only original Jim Bludso, and
1t is likely that there will be as many
different versions of the inspiration
of Little Breeches."
In letter which Mr.. Hay wrote in
1871, and of which a fac-simile is in
possession Of one of his personal
friends in this city, the question as
to the source of inspiration seems to
be settled:

Rev. Ephriam H. winans was an
itinerant preacher in the Middle West

He dined at the Hay home and after.
ward the family accompanied him to
church. where he preached on Divine
Providence, and outlined its POSSIBLE.
ties under natural laws. In the course
of the sermon he told of an incident
which had startled n gathering of
ministers at New Virginia, Iowa, in
April. 1868.
One Of the clergymen was giving
out the hymn
Forever with the Lord!
Amen! So let 1t be,
when man named Proudfoot rushed
into the church crying for someone to
furnish him with horse.
He explained that he had driven
his wagon up to the church steps and
had helped out his wife and parents

carrying off his little 4-year.old son
who was in the back of the wagon.
The meeting was broken up and the
congregation set out to search the
prairies. Tracking was impossible.
so the searchers swept the country
in circles. Finally they came upon
the runaways, one horse in gully.
the other on the bank and the wagon
overturned on the roadway. There
was no trace of the little boy.
Their torches were going out when
someone remembered that there was
an abandoned cabin not far away
where they might find dry wood. 1t
stood half mile across the fields, and
they were guided thither by the bleat.
ing of flock of sheep. which had
taken refuge in the cabin from the
terrific rainstorm which was raging.
On reaching the cabin they found
the door fastened from the inside 80
tightly that the strongest man in
the party could not force It. Sudden.
ly one Of the men declared that he
heard voice inside. Their efforts to
force the door were redoubled and
finally rewarded. In the middle of

house of Proudfoot. He did not re.
