The sun shines first in one Republi-

Joseph Dixon, manager of the Roose-

Montana, and can't go to the Chicago
convention. Mckinley, Taft's mana

That made it even. Roosevelt lost his

ARTICLE XIV
Towns Continued.

Ironton-George w. Andrews
says that the government survey
ors had reported that iron was
probably at Ironton on account of
the variation of the needle. Jonas
Tower came from the east, built
furnace and called the village Iron
ton. The town was organized in 1859
and the village plat dates back to
1856.
Kingston-One of the original towns
of the county including Sumpter,
Merrlmack and part of Baraboo. 1t
was not named in honor of the family
of Kings who came to the town in an
early day but for Kingston, New
York, their forme home. When Fort
Sumter was fired upon in 1851 it was
decided TO change the name because
there was another Kingston in the
state. An early map maker misspelled
the word Sumpter and since then it
has been enormously spelled. Fort
Sumpter was named in honor of Gen.
Thomas Sumter of the Revolutionary
war. The word sumter means a pack
horse or the driver of pack-horse.
LaValle-The town of LaValle was
originally in the town of Baraboo and
afterwards Marston. 1t became the
town of LaValle in 1851 and was
named from the postoffice which had
been established in 1856 with S. P.
Barney as postmaster. A. d. Potter of
River Falls says that the village was
named by John Hamlin who came to
the place in 1S49 and built mill the
next year. Mr.. Potter does not know
why the name was so given. Stennett
says in his "Place Names" that La
Vale was named by B. S. Barney, an
early settler and that the name means
"rhe Valley"
Marston-Formerly town in the
northwest portion of the county. 1t no
longer appears on the maps. w. c..
Cady thought it was named for an
early settler. Harry Thorton says
Marston and Mansion were so much
alike that the name was changed.
Merrimack-Town originally part
of Kingston. For meaning .of name
see subsequent issue.
New BuffaIo-W. g. Cady Thought
the town was named from Buffalo,
New York. Many of the. earlyrIsettlers
in coming from New England and
New York came through Buffalo on
their way west. 1t would be natural
to suggest the name of New Buffalo.
What is now the town of Delton was for
merly New Buffalo, writes j. I. Hun
tington of Delton. He says the name
was changed about 1870 on account of
the Dells. He does not know who gave
the name or why but thinks the town
was so named because many of the
settlers came from New York in which
state Buffalo is located. The town
when in existence was in the north
east portion CT the county.
Prairie Gu Sac-Town named for the
Sac or Sank Indians.
Reedsburg-The town of Reedsburg
was named for ID. T.. Reed who
erected the first saw mill and grist
mill where the city is located. The
name was sometimes spelled Reeds
burgh and as late as 1890 the clerks in
the Baraboo postoffice made merry by
writing the name that way TO the
vexation of the postmaster and clerks
at Reedsburg. In time the postal
at Washington dropped
the final as has been done with the
word Pittsburgh and other cities.

At The present time, an eight-gallon
can of cream is worth about as much

WHOA! EMMA!

Emma Goldman, the lawless freak,
went to California recently, and she
has plenty of experiences to relate.
Her advance agent was taken up by a
mob who made him kneel and kiss
the American flag, tarred and
feathered, and run out of San Diego.
The "queen of the anarchists" EN-
ma Goldman, was escorted to train
and sent out of town. San Diego is not
far from Los Angeles.

Sank County Place Names
Sumpter-See Kingston.

sun pleT-See kingston.
Spring Green-See a subsequent is
sue for the origin of the name.
Troy-The following circumstances
as to the naming of the town of Trov
are given by Captain W. S. Nc Cresdv
of Spring Green: ga meeting was
called at the new school house at Har-
risburg post office. think it was in
1857. j. w. Harris then carried the
mail from Sank City to Harrisburg
and w. Howes was the postmaster.
Johnathan Whitaker Harris present
ed the plat of the town as it is; part
taken from Spring Green Sand part
from Honey Creek. Mr.. Harris pro-
posed the name of Troy because he
wanted short name. Some wanted
it called Harrisburg but this was voted
down. The name of Troy wasl there
fore sdopted but when Alexander
Stewart, who resided near Wilson
Creek, heard of it he came out with
petition for another meeting and
wanted four sections given back to
Spring Green. An extra session of the
board was called at which D. Thomas
and S. w. Corwith of Cassell attended.
There were some bitter arguments and
threats to take it into the courts but
the decision was still against Stewart.
He was elected the first chairman Of
the town and that seemed to pacify
him some"
A. l.. Harris, who resided at Reeds
burg at the time of his death, wrote
that the town of Troy was named by
his father, Johanathan w. Harris,
who came from Lexington, Richland
county, Ohio. There is town of
Troy in Richland county, hence the
name in Sank county.
Washington-D. B. Hulburt says
that it was presumably named for the
first president and not for Washington
Gray who first settled in the town.
Westfield-D. B. HulbUrt, long
years resident of Loganville but now
citizen of Madison, says that the
town of Westfield was named by g. p.
Logan who laid out the village of
Loganville and called it Westfield also.
town set off from Reedsburg and as
his boyhood days had been spent in a
village and town in western New
York called Westtield, naturally the
name was precious to him.
Winfield-S. A. Pelton says that the
town OF Winfield was named for Gen.
eral Winfield Scott, we'll known of
ticer in the Mexican war and later in
the Civil war. The town was organ
lied in November, 1852, some years
after Scott and his army captured the
city of Mexico. Mr.. Pelton's grand
father, John Pelton, Ezra Gregory
and William Andrews were instru-
mental in organizing the town and the
last named desired it called Andrews.
Woodland-John H. White of La
Vale says that the town of Woodland
was named for man by the name of
Wood, one of the first if not the first
settler in the town, and for long
time chairman of the town board. ID.
b. Hulburt says it was one of the most
heavily timbered towns in the county
and was properly called Woodland.
Neal Davies, long resident of the
town. says it was named on account
of the abundance of the timber.
