One really major contest and four

Princcton's clash with Dartmouth

Pittsburgh. However, the New

capped by week ends, has swamped

swAYzE OF HOPE
GONE TO HIS REWARD


Wesley SwayEe, one OF the best
known men OF Hope, passed away
Saturday. his illness resulting from
blood-poisoning In a finger while
chopping wood. The Dispatch says:
Wesley SwayEe was truly one OF the
pioneers OF this country. He came
here when the whole prairie was h
range for Texas cattle. and he
carved q home and competence out
OF the raw material. He settled on
a homestead about three miles
from our city. on what is now
known as the Jake Hostetter farm.
which he owned for a number Of
years after he moved to Hope.
He was the first man to be mar
ried in this township, and instead
OF going TO the wedding in an auto
mobile as they do these days he
and his sweetheart each rode q
mule over to Esquire Evers, who
made them husband and wife and
they returned home by the mule
route as they went. and we are
sure they have lived as happily as
the general run Of people who have
not had to start in those pioneer
ways.
Since Hope was a town he has
been one of its business men, and
has always been for the good of
the community. He will be mourn
ed by many friends who will miss
his CHEEKY greetings and friendly
comments.
He was aged II years. He came
to Kansas in 1871 and settled on a
homestead in this township. Mar
ried Adelphia Williams in 1872,
and to them were born four chill
dren, three of them still living,
Jesse of Atchison, Kansas, Mrs.
Mabel Stott of Oklahoma, and
Warren of Topeka. He was always
full of fun, a great joker, and the
butt Of many a joke, but everyone
who knew him was his friend, and
he was a great friend to the little
children who will miss him greatly.
