the channel and the river met. 1t
was on this sand bar the govern
ment wagons hauled the bodies of
the dead Indians for burial. There
was trench dug to receive the
bodies. but few of the bodies of the
Indians remained there any length
of time Physicians came from out
of town to secure a body for medi-
cal purposes, and people in town
trafficated in the remains for what
they could be made out of them.
They were good Indians then.
We have repeatedly heard DR..
Clark relate a story of Norwegian
he had for hostler who went with
the doctor to secure body the
night after the execution. There was
a lot of underbrush and trees grow
ing on the sand bar. The doctor and
his man were going through the
brush as quietly as possible. only
now and then Ole would say some
thing about the Indians not being
dead. The doctor would reassure
his man that they were dead. Some
two or three other parties were at
the ditch getting out the bodies
when the doctor and Ole arrived.
Ole's eyes were peeled to the size
of saucers for everything going. The
least bit of noise made as the doc.
tor and Ole were walking along Ole
would start and say, Whats that?'
Nothing" the doctor would reply.
Those who were already on the
ground heard the doctor and his
man coming, had already taken a
big Indian out of the ditch and set
the body up against tree and then
stepped to one side to await events
and to see who was approaching.
When Ole saw the dead Indian
sitting up against the tree, he let
out of him a whoop and yell, loud
enough to wake up the dead, and
started on a dead run for town.
Ole did not return the same way
he and the doctor came, but made
a bee line straight across lots and
into this channel of water six feet
or more deep he plunged. Reaching
the home of the doctor Ole ran into
the barn and up into the hayloft
and hid from sight.
These coincidents go to establish
the fact the scaffold was not far
from the point we have stated.
There is Captain Keysor, Captain
Beatty and Captain Holmes, three
brave old heroes and several other
real early settlers yet living who
are quite familiar with the location
of the scaffold.

Henry told him to knock some of
the plaster off OF the pantry parti-
ton and to have an opening above
and below to produce a draft Henry
returned to st. Paul on the early
morning train so that the Lake
Crystal marshal would not see him.

Oliver had told Henry during the
conversation in st. Paul that he

whisky or other stimulant on Sep
TENDER 10, when Ballinger made his
statement to the county attorney in

Ribe, the little town in Denmark,
has become well-known as the birth
place of Jacob RiiS, who has
achieved fame as the man who made
tenement houses in New York city
give way to parks and Fairgrounds;
Frankfort-on-the-M Main has become
the Mecca of thousands who wish
to see the birthplace of Johann w.
Goethe, the celebrated German writ
err and author; and st. Peter, MIMI,
is well-known as the home OF the
late Governor John A. Johnson, but
it remains for the little village of
Garden City, in Blue Earth county.
Minnesota, to have the distinction
of producing large number of
men who have become world ia
nous. Although a town of not more
than $50 inhabitants, it has plo-
duced probably more who have
made their mark in the world than
any town of it's size in the United
States or the world.
This little village has an event
full history. Once it was an ambi-
tious competitor with Mankato cor
the county seat. The cause of its
failure to become the SEE. of gov
eminent for Blue EartL county was
a dispute which lasted for years
in the courts as to the legal title of
the townsite. When that dispute
was at last settled, it was too late
to recover the lost ground.
The town was organized May IL,
1858, by act of the first legislature.
1t has had three papers in it's day,
The Garden City Herald, edited Nv
A. J. Manley, and later The Messen.
ger, edited by J. l.. Barlow, and
later third paper, which went out
of existence after a struggle OF a
few months. These papers lasted
but short time.
The town is situated in the central
part of the county at the bend of
the beautiful Watonwan river and
is encircled by hills. Most of its
Industries, one by one, have fallen
away, but it has held on to one
distinction with unyielding Zest,
namely, the county fair.
Remarkable Body of Men.
However, it's true crown of glory
has been the remarkable body of
young men it has sent forth from,
cess in almost every department OF
life, and in almost every portion OF
the world.
The person who won the highest
honors and the most fame and
wealth of these men who lived at
Garden City is Henry S. Welcome.
He is declared the greatest living
analytic chemist in the world today
and is recognized as an authority
on all matters pertaining to an.
alytical chemistry.
Back in the late sixties, when a
young boy he attended school in
Garden City. In those days he did
not show any particular talent ex
cept for drugs and chemistry. He
was as mischievous as the rest OF
the boys and was live member
in their pranks He worked as a
clerk in his fathers drug store
while attending school and later
went to a school of pharmacy in
Rochester and New York city.
After graduating here he was EN-
ployed for some time with a Phila
delphia firm. He showed such re
markable aptitude for this work
