A Mitchell, S. d. paper at hand
has lengthy account of a banquet
rendered recently to Judge Dick
Haney, who years ago was a young
Lansing attorney, and is now chief
justice of the supreme court of South
Dakota. He is candidate for re-
nomination this year, and forty mem
bers of the bar and his judicial asso-
ciates gathered to give him a proper
send-off. A menu folder of twelve
pages which we have received con
tains his picture and the banquet
toasts, one of which was responded
to by Judge H. F. Fellows, who was
Judge Haney's law partner at Lans-
ing. The banquet was served at the
Widmann Hotel of which John Teel-
ing, also an Allamakeean, is the
landlord, and the papers say that he
made fine impression with the SER
vice that he afforded and the menu
which he served.-Waukon Demo-

John Finn of DEBORAH was in the
city Friday forenoon, on his way
home from Des Moines, where he at
tended the tax meet He is one of
the interesting pioneers of Iowa. In
conversation with Register repre-
sentative he stated that he settled in
Galena, H.. in 1913, and came west
to DEBORAH in the late SOS. He per-
sonally knew U. s. Grant at Galena
He was in Galena on business in
1861, the day before Grant went to
Springfield to drill Illinois troops,
and he met him in the Grant store.
He conversed with the future great
general anu president of the United
States and wished him luck in his
work. Mr. Finn says that Mr.. Grant
was what might be considered a
singed cat-very careless in his dress
and not at all prepossessing in ap-
pearance, and it was great surprise
to his friends to see him climb the
ladder of fame in four years to be
the greatest general of the age.
When it comes to "reminiscences, Mr.
Finn can deliver the goods.
