OLDEST WHITE SETTLER.
Corral Boss Has Been in Oklahoma
Over Fifty Years

Laton, Ok, Aug. l4.-The
oldest white settler living in
Oklahoma is Mickey Heishem, the
corral boss at Fort Sill, who has
been at the post since 1882, and
was the first white man that ever
drove a mule team into this por-
ton of the country.
Back in 1880 or 81 a detachment
of United States regulars were sent
into this section of the country and
they established a camp on Otter
Creek, west of where Snyder now
stands. They constructed few
cabins in this camp and long years
afterward the chimneys of the
stone fireplace marked the spot
where the camp was located. The
soldiers camped here during the
winter and the camp was named
Fort Rodiminsky, as near as the
name can be ascertained, One OF
the teamsters with this detachment
of troops was Mickey Heishem.
The following summer the troops
moved to Fort Sill, that was then
being laid out. This country al
this time had never been surveyed,
the first survey being made in 1884
the Government engineer being
George B. Mcclellan, afterward a
General aud subsequently a Presi-
dental candidate, and whose son
is now Mayor of the city of New
York. The survey by Mcclellan
was to establish the meridians more
than anything else, and possibly
he established township lines.
When the troops located at Fort
Sill in 1851 or 50 Mickey Heishem
located there with them and there
he has remained ever since, a most
faithful servant of his Govern
ment.

Tribute To An Old Cow.

Karnes County News.
An auctioneer is, said to have
paid this tribute to an old cow:
"Of all the animal friends of man
she is the greatest. When about
to sit down to your Sunday dinner,
/ wish / could strip the table of
what she produced. I'd remove
the cup of milk waiting at baby's
chair; I'd take the cream and
cheese, the butter, custard pie and
the cream biscuit, the roast of beef
and leave you a meal of potatoes,
beets, pickles and toothpicks.
Every scrap of her from nose to
tail is used by man. We use horn
to comb our hair, her skin upon
our feet, her hair keeps the plaster
on our walls, her hoofs make glue
and her tail makes soup. Her
blood is used TO make our sugar
white, and her bones to fertilize
the soil. She has gone from Ply

Human Nature.

The butcher thinks the baker has an
easy time through life;
The baker thinks the the doctors path

The doctor sees deal of pain; he breads

The merchant has a dreadful time TO
make accounts agree,
Ard, If his preference he could have,
i've would a lawyer be.
The lawyer sees much crime and woe;
he sees how bad men rob,
And he would much prefer to have the

But no, alas the banker finds this life

For everyone is on the watch to try and
