Old Swan Lake
By Joseph Andrews
FROM JOSEPH PREY

l. L L
Long Beach, Jan. 27.
My Dear Joe:-
/ read your letter of Jan. 10 and
was much pleased to get it. 1t
seems as if everybody had for
gotten me. even my own folks.
/ have written three or four let
ters to my brother in the last
year but can get no answer.
| am sorry you could not
came here this winter. [ never
expect to see you again now, |
am too far gone, [ shall be 20
next month. About your writ
ing a history OF Old Swan Lake
[ think you could not do better
than go into it pretty deep. It
would be a good thing to have
some one who was a first settler
and knew from personal know
ledge Of what he had written
ard it should be preserved. 1t
would be valuable in making up
history Of the state. For in
stance the first flag raised in
Turner county was raised on tt e
4th of July, 1871, down by the
Lake. | helped with Steve
BJwdish to hoist it. | do not
know if you were there or not,
don't think you were. The Bow
dishes, Thompsons, Judge Shell
ley, Theilman, the Conways and
a few others we're present
Steve called on me to make a
speech but ! could not say a
word, neither could anyone else.
So we all gave three cheers for
the flag and le5 it go at that.
which was better than some
speeches have heard On the
Fourth.
H The first lawyer to settle in
the county was Flag. You re-
member him. There was anoth-
er man over at Turner, a farmer,
a very fins man, | have forgot
ten his name, probably Judge
| Valentine). He was educated
for lawyer but did not practice.
Flag married Jessie Marshall
and moved to Sioux Falls and |
knew him for several years. At
ter while he got into trouble and
was sent to the pen for four
years. | was at the court when
he was sentenced and shook
hands with him afterwards
Flag was not bad, but got into
bad company. He served three
years and then went to Chicago
/ where an uncle, lawyer, took
him into his office and Flag
came out all right and in the end
made good.
The first law suit was some
parties over Turner way. A
man had taken some lumber
from a claim and hid it. The
r,yu,nr f0,,,,l ~ o,l l,oJ @l,. 49,, :,
arrested. The arrested man die
not really mean to steal the lum
Der but wanted to prevent the
other man from building a shan
ty on the claim in dispute. Col
Moody represented the defense
and Father Turner was for the
state. 1t was a queer suit and i.
it could be acted now would be
as good as a play. A man hac
been elected sheriff with nothing
to do. Col Moody pointed ou'
that if his client was convicted
there was no Jail or jaile1, ne
nothing. TIE sheriff had gov
somewhere blue coat with biz
brass buttons on it and made
quite a brilliant display ane
Moody had some fun with him
They finally let the fellow go
In these days he would have
been sent to Jail sure. The next
suit was Aurner and Spence,
but you know all about that.
Judge Moody died in Los An
geles just after he had got q
nice house built and left a for
tune of $3.50, 900. Judge Shan

si+ions fret that the fragmentary skull and low
er Jaw are those of one of the race OF men VINO
made the rough but well-faked flint implements
and. secondly that he was contemporary with the
other animals whose bones or teeth have oeen
here found namely the mastodon and the "merl-
dionaI" or southern elephant and therefore that
the man was Of the Pliocene age 1t must, now
ever be strictly asserted that we have as yet no
proof of the truth Of such supposltlons. Inc
human bones the flint implements, and the mas
todon and southern elephant teeth may be each
of totally different age, and yet all brought
together by slow wearing away OF the solid
ground by water and the subsistence OF some OF
it's harder constituents into one final gravel de-
post at this present day.
On the other hand, If we look at probabilities.
there is some reason to hold that the man (of
the jaw and skuD did not live later than the
makers of the rough flint implements, since no
flint implements of later type occur in this
gravel
To say that he contemporary with the
mastodon and Pliocene elephant, because their
fragmentary remains occur side by side with his,
is more than justified in doing. But it is
quite true that there Is nothing to prove that
they were not coevaL
The strongest argument against their being
eoeval is that the fragment of human skull and
the lower jaw were found near each other. and
therefore were probably imbedded for the first
time in the existing gravel, and not washed out
of a previous deposit.
The Heidelberg jaw is the most impressive of
all the remains of primitive man yet discovered
Though 1t Is so extraordinarily powerful In
breadth and thickness, and so thoroughly ape-like
in the absence of chin. yet the wellpreserved
teeth are thoroughly human and not apelike at
all.
The canine (marked in my drawing) Is as
small as in ourselves. There is approach to
the great projecting dog teeth Of the ape (see the
figure of the chimpanzee's jaw)., Yet the more
slender Sussex jaw, owing to its long union or
symphysis beginning far back as the letter
"g" In the word Fig) is more ape-like and less
human. 1t had almost certainly great CANNES
and large front teeth.
1t is to be expected that other specimens will
be found in this gravel when further ex
plored, which will throw more light on the gen.
eral characteristics of the race to which the pitt
down belonged and the question of the
geologic age to be assigned to them

Colonel Watterson occasionally
turns his attention from dressing
down candidates to dressing up inquir-

vice from the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal:
There are two reasons for being
married in dress suit, young man.
It's fashionable and it's your last
chance to get a dress suit"
This can be considered good advice,
founded on observation and expert
ence, even if it is little pessimistic.

DR.. Smith Woodward is to be con-
graduated on the skill with which
he has demonstrated their very
great interest and Importance. The
fact that they are the first fossil
lied human bones found in a flint
bearing gravel associated with
flint implements is itself of great
interest.
The human bones found are the
right half Of lower jaw and
large part of the left side of the
skull. They were dug out of a
gravel not more than four feet
below the surface-and not far
apart-so that they probably are
parts OF the same individual. The
bones are mineralized and deeply
stained through and through by
