Editor Reporters l see in the
Reporter quite a good deal about
pioneers and old settlers in Decatur
county, l thought perhaps someone
would like to hear from another
one. and three other men first landed
in Garden Grove, Iowa, on August 5, 1860;
we we're out looking for locations to
live on. The names Of the other three
men were Robert Warrick. Thomas
Ramsey and Cary Cherry.
1t was big day in Garden Grove,
as it was election day to elect county
commissioners, the first in the county |
think. Allen Scott was candidate
and was there. We had an OK team,
and it was near noon. We drove down
to the creek and made camp. After
lunch and rest we went back up in
town, or rather where the town ought
to be. Well there were quite a few
Mormons in and around Garden Grove
then and there were a few Gentiles.
dort remember any names only Owen
Kellogg and Jehu Blades. There was
plenty of whiskey and two of our crowd
got gloriously happy by night. We
heard there was a settlement about
eight miles southwest of Garden Grove
called the Hatfield and Stanley SETTLE
ment, but we must look around there
before going farther and on August 6
l stayed in camp while the others look
ed. So Mr.. Cherry found a place on
Johnathan creek. The next day we
pulled out for the Hatfield settlement.
| Mr.. Warrick had married Miss Hat
| field in Tennessee and he was anxious
to find out who those Hatfields were.
We found them and on investigation
Reuben and James were cousins to his
wife's father. We stayed there two or
three days, then moved on west, camp
ing near Little river and one, Mr.. Fer
digs showed us around. We travelled
right over the spot where Leon now
stands, but there was no Leon there
then or anybody. We wanted to look
farther and we moved on over to Alfred
Gordon's, on Long creek near the mouth
where it enters into Grand River. We
had started out for general look
and were going to have it, we took the
old bee trail and went north till we
struck the old Mormon track and follow
ed it to Mt. Prega another Mormon
settlement, there were quite few
Mormons and few Gentiles, Bill Lack
and Joe None being the most conspicu-
Gus of any. We found out by Mr.. None
about the country on the east side Ct
Grand river so we came down
through where Hopeville now stands
and through what was known later as
the Tennessee settlement and we
thought that would do, so we then start
ed back where we had left our families
in Davis county, Iowa, but we did moi
move up into Decatur county till the
next spring. All for this time.

Gopher Feet Worth Money.

After July 4 County Auditor Scott
will be compelled to call in some ex-
pert gopher testimony to prevent him
self from being cheated when paying
bounties on these animals.
The ordinary striped gopher, which is
so common in this county, does not
come within the pale of the new law.
The death penalty is only to be inflicted
on his cousins, the pocket gophers,
which are burrowing, moundbuilding
rodent which are pronounced a pest
and annoyance by every farmer. They
don't stay in the country, either, for
more than one fine lawn in Leon has
been ruined by their work.
The law passed by the general assem-
bly, is as follows:
Section 1. There shall be paid from
the general fund of the county a bounty
not exceeding ten cents for each pocket
gopher caught and killed within the
county, provided that the person en-.
titled to such bounty shall make as
herein provided, proof of the destruc,
tion of such animal within thirty days
after the same is destroyed.
Section 2. The person catching anc
killing any such animal shall remove
and present to the officers, before whom
he makes his proof, both front feet ant
claws of each animal for which he
claims the bounty, and the person
claiming the bounty shall furnish writ
ten proof, under oath, that each ANNA
for which he claims the bounty wal
caught and killed within the count.
and the board of supervisors ma,
require in add ion to the abov'
any other and further proof which i
deems necessary and reasonable tt
show that each animal for which TIN
bounty is claimed was caught and kill
ed within tue county against which tn
claim is presented.
Section 3. The claws and other proof
required may be presented to tn
county. auditor; and the board of super
visors of each county may appoint reg
istrars or other officers in othe
parts of the county to whom
claws of the animal caught and othe
proofs of the killing may be presented
Pocket gophers are said to be excep
tionally numerous in all parts of tn
country this spring and to be causini
much damage to growing crops.
