Death of Mrs. G. II. Johnson

Mrs. Mary T. Johnson, wife of
George Fl. johnson of this city, passed
away at the family home on Cedar
street at ITO p. N. Saturday, January
ID. The announcement came as a
shock to the friends of the family as
few we're aware she was sick, and in
fact had only been sick about three
days, and almost up to the last mo-
ment her husband did not anticipate
fatal results. She had been troubled
with weak heart for some time and
only few days before the end had
developed evidence of pneumonia.
She was conscious up to the moment
her voice ceased and was talking with
her husband about the end, he, try
ing to convince her that she was not
going to die when she answered.: "The
end is here" and instantly her voice
ceased, the heart was still and the
spark of life had fed. She closed her
eyes and went to sleep, full of
faith in the Masters promise Of a
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-01-20

freshment parlor at the foot of Main
street, and the tranSom over the door
went to pieces and Uncle Bob came
out frightened to death. He treated
the squad to soda water and then the
cannon doomed until daylight and
during the day, and Canton was the
only town in the Territory that cele-
brated the Centennial year with a
real cannon. The editor of the LEAD
ER helped to fire the first shot out of
the gun in 1876, and fired the last
shot alone in 1892, as the gun was
cracked and it was deemed unsafe.
The touch hole was filled with lead
and thesfamous old gun was retired.
Two years ago it was mounted on a
cement foundation in the court house
square where it will remain as mon
ument to the patriotism of Canton In
the ages yet to come.
The cut of the cannon and pictures
of Col. Cuppett and Col. Hawn was
made from photo for Arthur E.
Linn when the writer was at Hot
Springs.

Berry Brothers are Invoicing This
Week.

T. A.. Berry who lives at Joplin,
Missouri, is transferring his interest to
F. X. Berry & Sons of Chamberlain,
S. D., where they have a large dry
goods and clothing business. Both
stores will now be operated by F. K.
Berry & Sons and the only noticeable
difference in the Canton store will be
that it will be in position to buy in
larger quantities and to give its GUS
toners better bargains.
F. K. Berry, the senior member Of
the new firm, is an old settler, having
settled in Turner county, southwest
of Canton, thirty-eight years ago,
where both of the younger members
Of the new firm we're born. The
Berrys have a clean business record
since the days of the Indian outbreaks
and grasshopper times in this state
The two stores will continue to serve
the people in the same good way a
heretofore.

the hot heads proposed going over to
Fort Randall and stealing one from
Uncle Sam, but that was given up as
too risky. 0. A. Rudolph, then in
the hardware business here, had
timer come up from Elk PoiEt, who
told the Canton patriots that the
Vermillion cannon was in the cellar
Of M. Hoffnan's hardware store, and
that was enough to stir up the fight
ing blood of the Cantonites. 1t was
Immediately decided to go after that
cannon, and eight husky youths left
Canton one evening bound for Hoff-
mans cellar, but they never got there
they got lost on the prairie and it
was fortunate they did, for 20 men
couldn't have carried that gun out OF
the cellar, and if discovered there's
no telling what would have happened.
Canton must have cannon and
the only way was to buy one or have
one made to order. Col. Cuppett
passed around subscription list and
secured about S1OO and Col. Hawn
drew the plans and specifications and
the Dennis foundry at Sioux City,
made the gun, and that's the way
Canton got her cannon.
The Elk Pointers and Vermillion-
ties dared not expose their guns and
celebrated without them and it was
several years after before those guns
saw daylight, and the last time we
saw the Vermillion gun it was in the
Jail at Elk Point and we believe it is
there yet, and the little Yankton gun
is still missing.
Col. Hawn being familiar with can
mons and how to mount one, soon had
our gun mounted and ready for war.
O. A. Rudolph furnished the powder
and Uncle Billy Robinson, who had a
store away down at the foot of Cedar
street, a place we'll known to early
settlers, furnished the flannel for the
cartridges, and Mrs. Weston Pattee
made them, and the petritied sample
now in the LEADER office is the only
one left Of e2e hundred made for that
celebration. The firing squad for that
occasionlwas Capt. d. 81. Hawn. w. M
Cuppett, Arthur Linn, A. J. York and
NJ. Harris. The first shot was fired close
to the front door Of Bob Lanning's re

"A Real Investigation.

SIOUX FALLS Press: That there is
to be thorough investigation of the
State Soldiers Home at Hot Springs
is now assured by the action of the
legislature, at the request of the
governor in ordering such investiga-
tion. The Press was the first to sug-
gest that the investigation be made
in this way, which is the only logical
way. During the campaign the op-
position criticized Governor Vessey
for alleged conditions at the Soldiers
Home and the manifesto from Hot
Springs calls upon the governor to
rectify matters. Both these courses
were wrong. The governor has no
power in himself to change conditions
at the home. Neither could he order
an investigation and provide the
money necessary to make it effective.
But the governor could and did rec
ommend that the legislature take the
matter up at once. The result will
undou btedly be to quiet down matters
at Hot Springs materially. 1t is
more than suspected that what the
Hot Springs obiectors want is not so
much an investigation as a change in
the management of the Home where
by they may again exert that legal
influence in the management Of the
state institution which has been so
pernitious in other years. 1t will be
remembered that the famous night
telegram sent to Governor Vessey did
not ask for an investigation at all.
1t merely demanded change in the
management Of the home, and declar-
ed that the governor would be par
ty to the alleged outrages unless he
Immediately brought about UGH a
change.
But legislative investigation,

ial government to kill any stray
Indians that got near enough. The
Elk Pointers wanted to celebrate but
had no cannon so fifty or more daring
patriots marched up to Vermillion
one dark night and after mutfling the
wheels hauled the cannon to Elk
Point and hid it in Nj. Hotfman's
basement. When Vermillion discov-
cred her loss, Charlie True, then ed
itor of the Republican, issued a war
proclamation against Elk Point, but
the Pointers SwOre they knew nothing
about a cannon and didn't need any
as they had four anvils. Vermillion
scouts searched Yankton, Elk Point
and Canton and Sioux Falls but their
big gun could not be located. Then
Editor True proposed that they
go to Yankton and steal the harmless
little howitzer and they did, but the
gun robbers were discovered by a
stage driver on the road near where
Gayville is now located, and he gave
the alarm and Yankton was hot and
determine ed to recapture their gun at
any cost. One hundred men were or
ganized into a company under COM
mand of Capt. Harry Luther. Before
proceeding to attack Vermillion,
scouts we're sent down to look the
ground over, and there wasn't a man,
woman or child in Vermillion who
knew anything about any cannon but
their own and that was missing.
The proposed assault on the Univers-
ity town was called off but everybody
was mad. July was approaching and
both cannons were lost.
Canton wanted cannon to make
the celebration complete and some of

Col. d. H Hawn, who was a mem
Der Of Capt. Buck" Wheelock's fam
Gus Wisconsin light battery in the
civil war, walked into the LEADER Of
flee last week with long package In
his hand and asked the editor if he
knew what it was We examined it
for few moments but failed to de-
termine it's character or for what
purpose it was made.
"That," said Mr.. Hawn, sis the only
cartridge left out OF one hundred
made for Canton's famous old cannon
to celebrate the Centennial year
1876"
We took the little red package and
looked it over and thought of that
memorable morning in Canton nearly
IS years ago, when the cannon now
resting on cement foundation in
the court house square, aroused the
slumbering patriots In Canton and for
many miles around telling them that
the Centennial year of American In
dependence had come, and the first
shot echoed through the Sioux Valley
just as the hands of time marked the
division between July 3 and July 4,
and there was no sleep for anybody
after that. A little sketch of the old
cannon and how it come to be made
for Canton may be interesting at this
time.
Every town of any Importance in
the Territory had ample preparation
to celebrate that great national event.
The people of the Territory owned
two cannon-one Mountain howitzer
at Yankton and the other IL pound
brass siege gun at Vernillion. These
guns had been issued to the Territor-

Letter From Perkins County.
Brayton, Jan. 5, 1911.

Mr.. Editor: AS l have been re-
quested by some of the people out
here to write to the LEADER and as
also thought that the editor and some
of the Lincoln county people might
like to hear from some of their old
Lincoln county friends, 1 thought I
would pen few lines.
On Wednesday December %. 1910,
at Meadow, Miss Osta Brandsgaard
was united in wedlock to Mr.. Dewitt
l. Peters of Coal Springs. The. cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Julius
LEM, the Lutheran pastor at Meadow,
in the presence of near relatives.
Miss Brandsgaard was formerly of
Lincoln county where she was en-
ployed in Chraft & Hansen's store.
Mr.. Peters owns a fine homestead
near Coal Springs. but last May moved
to Isabel where he has been in busi-
ness until a month ago. Mr.. and Mrs,
Peters intend to make their home on
the brides homestead.
We still have our Literary society
which is very much enjoyed by this
community. The meetings are held
at Mrs. o. Teigen's home which is
used for day school, Sunday school
and Literary society, but at every
meeting it was realized that the house
was getting too small, but on the
Wednesday before Christmas, a mo-
tion was made and carried that the
house be made larger. Thursday
morning a neighbor went sixteen
miles for the lumber and on Friday
morning about twenty men were
there ready for work. The room
which was l2x14 was completed by
Saturday afternoon. The building
will cost the Literary society about
$55. In the evening Christmas tree
was beautifully decorated and loaded
with presents as Santa Claus had
been very liberal. Aside from the
tree there was nice program ar
ranged for the Sunday school scholars
consisting of songs and recitations
and this was highly enjoyed by the
audience after which Santa Claus
read the names on presents of all who
had been good and three girls distrib-
uted them. We do not have to buy
our Christmas trees as in the cities,
as we can 60 over on the hills and
take our choice. Our tree was about
eight feet high.

is not "chortling in glee' over the

might possibly result in finding that
