FRIEND OF

Kenmare, N. D., Feb. Ia. A. Ty-
son Of this place is a veteran of the
civil war and was a personal friend Of
Lincoln. He has a number Of inter-
esting r~ecollections Of the great presi-
dent. One story he likes to relate ia
as follows: ION Aug. !, 1850, I enter
ed a oar at Bloomington, Ill, to go to
springfield. I had my right hand in q.
sling because Of the felon on it and
was carrying w grips in my left
hand. The train. was well filled and L
concluded I would have to stand, but

at the n OF the car made room foN
me. He inquired the cause of my hand.
being in a sling and when I explained
1t he suggested I apply a piece of fat
meat to the felon as a poultice. After
talking on many subjects we drifted
into politics. We discussed the relative
presidency, and although I was too
young to vote I assured him Of my in
tense admiration for Lincoln. When,
we approached Springfield my seat
mate stated he lived there and I in
formed him that / intended to remain.
until Aug. 8 to hear the advertised
speech Of Abraham Lincoln. When the
train arrived at the depot, my ac-
quaintance carried one OF my grips,
took me to the residence OF a, Mrs.
Johnson, where I could find board and
when he started to bid me goodbye Il
asked him his name that ! might know
who had been SO kind to me He re-
marked: I am that Abe Lincoln wa

then to relieve my youthful and very
evident embarrassment he explained.
he lived two BLOCKS down street. He
also invited me to call on him, an invi~
tation I readily accepted. I became,
well acquainted with the family, heard,
Lincoln's speed: a few days later and
had, the pleasure OF knowing of his,
election to the presidency that fall.
In April, 1851, I enlisted in the I'M
ion army. The neXt time I saw Lin
coin was one rainy day on the Kappa
hammock river in Virginia. After my
discharge after three years service l
was in Washington, walking up Penn
sylvania avenue n met the president,
who remembered me and our meeting
on the train nearly our years earlier.
l told lin of my discharge from the
army and we discussed some of the
battles in which I had been engaged.
Placing his hands on my shoulder he
asked me II ] Intended to r~e-enlist and
stated IL I did he would get me a COM
mission to command colored TROOPS. I
declined, but later did re-enlist. That
was the last time I ever saw Lincoln
alive, but o can readily imagine how
I treasure those three meetings and
my personal acquaintance with Lin

by w. F. Bradley. the speedway's for
elgn representative. that the prospects
are bright for securing some of the
fastest of the European cars for the
hree-hundred-mile sweepstakes July 4.
A purse of $4,000 is offered for this
race. and like sum is to be put up
for the sprints and other events dur
ing the Sioux City inaugural. and it is
not surprising that the crack foreign
drivers are being lured by it.
Bradley is confident that the fast
Belgian Excelsior racer and the Ger
man Bugatti car will be among the
starters, and it is hoped to have the
FREDERICK on the Bugatti..
Contracts for four new grandstands
at the speedway have been awarded
and work already begun. These stands
will swell the total seating capacity to
100000 while there will be plenty of
space for parking cars.
In addition to the automobile race
features. considerable attention will be
paid to the await events. ConstSuc-
ton work on the new plant of the
Central Aviation Company is well under
way, and the Savidge brothers are
bringing their four aeroplanes from
Ewing, Neb. Other aviatorS also will
be on the grounds in the near future
making test flights.
