Slender Foundation on Which the Story
of the Investment in South Dakota
of 100000 by the Ancient Order of
Hibernians Was Erected-A Wonder
full Work of the Imagination.
Special to The Journal.


Aberdeen S. D., Aug. about two weeks ago
a claiming to be stranded newspaper
man came to Aberdeen and Immediately struck
the local newspaper men for the price OF a
meal. AS reward he wrote an article concern
ing the alleged Intention of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians to invest heavily in South Dakota
lands for the purpose of bringing poor members
of the order from the crowded cities and give
them a start in life on South Dakota farms.
One correspondent sent it to the papers outside
of the state. AS the man travelled farther south
thru the state and became more familiar with
South Dakota men, he improved on his story,
until the the society was to invest, $2Oo,ooo,
to $4,000, 900. '
Father Dermody, pastor Of Sacred Heart church
ut Aberdeen, says that the only foundation tor
the story was suggestion he made IN the alDef-
MAN, the official organ of the order, about two
years ago. that the more prosperous members OF
the Hibernians might find an opening IN south
Dakota by purchasing cheap lands IN this state.
The rest of the story grew out OF the 1efuis
imaginat ton Of the tourist.

Thomas, established small grist mill, raising
the wheat which was ground therein on farm
they had opened about twelve miles distant,
thereby enjoying the distinction of having ground
the first wheat that was ever made into flour
at the head of the lakes. Henry Mayher, the
elder died July T., l9o4. ,..,
The Mayhem brothers were born in Philadel-
phia, Pa, about three-quarters Of century
ago. At the breaking out OF the civil war
Thomas entered the service as an assistant sur
geon. He was afterward appointed surgeon haV-
Ing charge Of the war hospitals around Balt1-
more, Nd. He resigned-and entered the gov
eminent secret service under President Lincoln
| 1t during this service that many very in
teresting incidents Of fis life are said to have
occurred tho DR.. Mayhem was, since his resi-
dence in Minnesota, very reticent regarding
them. 1t is said that during the General Ben
tamin Butler episode at Norfolk. DR.. Mayhem
was the secret service agent sent by Lincoln
to Investigate.
Henry, like his brother Thomas, also enlisted
In the Union army and served until the close

This was long before the progress of civilization
had altered the region. AS homeopathic ply

night for the knot Of frontiersmen Long be-

| Lake Superior, the two brothers, who have been
constant companions together thru life, made
| trips ct all times Of the year to the head of
| the lakes, using dog sleds in winter weather
and canoes when the lake was open along the
! shore.

minerals and trading with the Indians, partic-

strenuous day hearing arguments for and against s

Many farmers from both sides OF the county line

kick against the bitches.
Some of those against the proposition were
of the opinion that the cost Of construction
rived While others thought the plan not fea-
sible for the reason that the bitches could not
be built 50 to drain the bottom properly.
Some even went so far to say that they
did not want their land drained at all. as the
sloughs. when full Of water, were great bene-
