Livingston Family

The great family of Livingston is
supposed to have been founded by a
Hungarian nobleman named Liyingus.
who accompanied Margaret Atheling
to Scotland in 1867 when she came
there to marry the king. Malcolm
Canmore Livingus decided to remain
in Scotland and he WAS given a grant
of land in West Lothian, which was
called Livingston. or the home of
Livingus. He had son named Thur
stanus, who in turn had two sons, VIII
liam Alexander and Alexander 1t
was the latter. Alexander. who was
the first TO take the name of Living
ston as surname, according to Gus
tom OF his forefathers calling himself
by the name OF his estate.
Alexander's son William was the an
cestor of the lords of Livingston. the
fifth OF whom was the direct ancestor
OF one Robert, who established the
family in America about 1878.
This Roberts father was John Liv-
ingston. an energetic preacher of the
Reformed church in Scotland. Under
Charles H. he was banished for non
conformity and took refuge in Hol-
land. where he died at Rotterdam in
1873 Robert received his training
and education in Holland and he
learnd to speak French and Dutch as
we'll as English
OF all the men who came to this
country at this or any other time,
Robert Livingston seems to have been
temperament and training to cope
with the hardships Of the new world.
Poor enough he was, with nothing but
his hands and brains TO depend upon
for his future advancement, he imme-
diately found place in the life OF the
new world In less than year he
was appointed clerk OF the records in
the village of Albany. where he set
tied. and within few years he had
allied himself with several of the lead
ing families OF the colony by his mar
rage with Aida Schuyler.
It is said that Robert could turn
his coat easier than any other man
living" And although he was thor
oughly truthful in all his political
dealings, he always made the best of
any chances he saw to gain an honest
penny. But his usual good fortune
failed him on one occasion, when he
tried to suppress the pirates who had
Tor years infested the coasts.
When in 1895 he was in London he
conceived a plan whereby he could
suppress these marauders and at the
same time gain reward for his pains.

CORN AHEAD OF 1909 YIELD
Secretary of Western Grain Dealers
Association Gives Optimistic Fig.
urss on Crop Conditions.

Des Moines, Aug. S.-According to
a report of Geo. A. Wells, secretary
of the Western Grain Dealers associa-
ton, growth conditions of corn in
Iowa are better than last year. Up
to this time the promise of bump
er crop in the state has been excel
lent and above the average.
The corn crop in some localities in
Iowa is in critical condition because
of lack of rainfall and hot tempera-
ture and the present prospect may be
materially reduced within a weeks
time unless relieved by rain.
Growth conditions of Iowa corn
compared with last year based at
100, follows: North section, 105; CEN
trail section, 100; south section, 100.
The total oats crop for the United
States will exceed the crop of last
year by over 100000, 900 bushels. The
Iowa yield comparison follows: 1909,
116,100,000 bushels; 1910, 162,000,000
bushels.

the previous week, opened fire on the
bandits and brought volley from
their weapons. Several of the bull.
lets pierced his body, killing him in
stantly.
The robbers hastily gathered up
twelve bars of silver bullion, the
property of the Erenstine Mining
company and the Soccoro Mining
company which was being shipped
out from the mines, and left the
scene.
They met no further resistance, as
the stage was making it's trip without
passengers. When the stage failed
to arrive at Glenwood, Jake Rouse,
relief driver, was sent out to ascer-
tain the trouble. He came upon the
coach, which had been driven several
hundred yards from the scene of the
robbery by the bandits, and pursuing
his search further, found the dead
driver lying in the road where his
body had been tossed by the robbers.
Returning hastily from the scene
of the holdup Rouse passed the word
and soon posse was on the trail
of the fleeing bandits. Mounted police
took the trail and within a short time
found eleven of the twelve silver
bars lying at the roadside near where
the stage was robbed. Evidently the
burden was too great for the robbers
and they abandoned all but one bar
of the treasure which is valued at
about $1,000.
The scene of the robbery is twenty
miles from a railroad and in a sparse
ly settled section of southwestern So
zorro county.
Jose Dominquez, the dead driver,
lived at Silver City and leaves a
