When Willis a. Bugbee was ap-
preached by the conductor of this lit
tie corner of the page for reminis-
ccnces of pioneer days in South Bend.

He was judge OF the circuit court, a
member of congress, and president Of
the 18th branch of the State Bank of
Indiana, and held many other high
positions, which meant very much in
his day. The late George w. Mat
thews possessed an old State bank
bill that had in one corner an excel
lent steel engraved portrait of Judge
Sample, which was a fine example Of
art for that day, and was highly
priced. Another portrait in oil colors
by Swain is in the exhibit of the His
tOrical society.
Sample st. in this city is named
after him, and the record OF the or
ders and DEGREES signed by him as
judge are all that remains TO his
memory except the headstone to his
grave in the city cemetery.
In appearance he impressed me as
resembling the old fashioned senator.
grave, dignified and courtly in bear
ing. betting his high position. but
always approachable; a friend Of the
people and mingling with them at all
times as one of them.
His influence was great, and he
was fond OF the soil and of horticul-
ture. He induced the farmers to
plant orchards and raise fruit. until
nearly every farm in the county had
an orchard. While in congress he
supplied seeds of all kinds and en-
couraged the farmers to plant them.
until nearly all varieties of fruit were
grown in the county. and there are
some old orchards still remaining that
bear silent tribute To him.
las a child I dimly remember him
as he passed my home every day, and
l vaguely recall the old red brick
court house in which he presided. 1t
was built square in form, and looked

Not a few of the OId-time hunters
OF South Bend remember the days OF
real sport when a few hours journey
from the outskirts of town would
bring them TO where the prairie
chickens, the quail, the jacksnipe and
the ducks were as abundant as are
the black birds and the sparTOWs
now. Then the weary tradesman
could leave his business for a few
days and could return not only with
renewed vigor but with a bountiful
supply of the wherewithal for fries
or pot-pies.
4 favOrite rendezvous OF South
Bend sportsmen during the early
nineties was the home of Charley
Nermiller, who lived at the state
ditch bridge 20 miles southwest Of
town and close by Mill creek. Charley
and his wife labored contentedly on
a small farm which yielded them an
ample living. Their house was small
but it contained all of the necessities
of life and no huntsman ever fingered
there that he did not receive every
courtesy that the couple could by
any means extend.
SO it was that the followers of the
wild-land trails who lived in town
could make all preparations for the
hunt a day ahead and could then take
a leisurely trip by wagon over the
peaceful prairie roads TO the place of
rendezvous there 10 await the early
morning start after game. And when
the early morning would come there
would be the supremely satisfying
country breakfast and then the scout
ing among the haunts of the birds
Among the huntsmen who frequent
ed the Vermiller home in those days
were IL. L. Gaskill and G.. g. Hayes.
These two found their one great de-
light in jacksnipe shooting and their
hearts desire was usually granted for
then il was that Big Mud lake and.
indeed, the entire reach OF the Kan
lxakee marsh was the one great tryst-
inr place of this wary bird. 4 days
shoe ting then fOretOld a full game
bag as surely as a days shooting now
fortells an empty game bag. How
ever. even in those days there were
occasions when the capricious goddess
of the hunt saw fit TO rule in favor
OF the game and against the game
bag.
1t was in the early spring Of the
year 1891 that Gaskill and Hayes met
the goddess in one of her perVerse
moods and the manner of the meet
ing was thus: The two men, dream
ing the dreams of the spring time,
loaded their boat and their supplies
into a wagon and hied them forth to
the home of Charley Nermiller, there
10 await the early morning start. The
waters were high at that time, but
this did not affect their ardOr for
the beat was built strong and was
decked fore and aft. as a hunters
boat should be, SO there was no cause
10 worry on account of the water
The night was cold and when the
morning came there was the bite OF
winter in the air. such a trifling
thing as "A chilly morning, however,
held no discOuragements for two
hunters fortified by a good nights
rest and a farmers breakfast The
hunters embarked therefore and made
their way along the state ditch TO
the Little Kankakee. There were in
dications of ice along the way but it
was not until the Little Kankakee was
reached that difficulties were en-
cOuntered.
The quieter water of the marsl
had taken on a considerable coating
