How Dunbar WOodman
Joined the 1901.
By N. G. Abbott, Eureka Springs, Ark,
Formerly Okee, Wis.

Nearly everyone along the river in
Sank and Columbia counties during
the soc knew or had heard Of Dun
bar Woodman. This Dunbar was q
unique character, similar in guileless-
ness to Bret Harte's Heather Chi
nese," musician and also magic
ian, as he ran a sleightof-hand show
one winter at least, to which Charlie
Dearborn was appended as orchestra
and stage assistant. There was far
more under Dunbar's hat than the Wis
ible, heavy growth of black hair, how
ever, though, to use little slang, some
smart Alexis took him for an easy
mark.
At this time the ancient and Hon.
orable Order of 1901" was at the apex
of it's glory, and a fiourishing lodge
held it's meetings on the top floors Of
the old Clifton Hotel, at the east end
of the wagon bridge at Prairie du Sac
Dr. Cummings, of Prairie du Sac was
lodge physician, and Ike Morehouse,
Ike Evans and score of other kim
dred spirits from the same place, were
members in good standing, while Dan
Miller, A. F. Abbott, Samuel Bishop"
Haskins, John Glider" Cummings, and
a dozen others represented Roxbury
and West Point.
The meetings were held semi-occa-
sionally, whenever victim" could be
secured for initiation, and this all inn
portant element becoming scarce one
winter, it occurred to some of the
West Point members that Dunbar
Woodman was the proper one to fill
the bill Dunbar, at the time, was
living at Mats Ferry, and delega-
ton of lodge members waited on him
there, but it required much persua,
sion before he would give consent to
join. And then only on condition that
conveyance be furnished him, as he
had no team of his own.
A date was set for the lodge meet.

BARABOO FOLK
IN FLORIDA
Henry Ringiing's Boat May Be
Used by the Government for
War Purposes

Reuben Lockwood has received
copy of the Eustis (Fla.) Lake Region
which contains a very interesting art1-
Gle about BarabOo people. 1t reads
as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Edmond Theodore Hop
kins of Chicago were the guests last
week of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ringing,
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Dyke. These three
families are old friends, and have sum-
mer homes close together at Devils
Lake, Wis. la the winter while Mr..
Ringing and MIR. Dyke live here, Mr..
Hopkins lives at the beautiful Grey
stone hotel at Kissimmee, fifty miles
south of EuStis. With our velvet
asphalt roads and the brick roads of
Orange and 0sceola counties, it re-
quires only two hours in an auto to
navigate the distance, which before
the hard-surfaced roads were COM
pleted, required half day. o, what
a change! Mr.. Hopkins and wife were
afforded a splendid view of our lake
region when MIR. Ringing took them
out riding on Lake Eustis in the mag
nificent cruiser of the Ringlings, an
ocean-going vessel that cost $4,000,
and has no equal in these waters. 1t
is an aquatic palace, trimmed in ma
hogany, sumptuously furnished and fit
ted with eight berths. The u. S. gov
eminent has requested Mr.. Ringing
to list this boat for service in case
of necessity in war, and Mr.. Ringing
promptly complied, being more than
willing to have his boat used in any
way the government desires. Mr..
Hopkins came up to investigate the
false statements that the asphalt roads
of Lake county were breaking up. Mr.
Ringing escorted Mr. Hopkins over
our entire system of asphalt high
ways, some forty miles, some of it laid
five years ago, in search Of an evil
dence of deterioration Of these velvet
roads. When we asked Mr.. Hopkins
for the result of his examination of
our roads he said: "The report that
they are going to pieces is -
lie!" We will add that it is the echo
Of the voice of the Brick Trust that
we hammered in this paper two years
ago. Miles of brick roads put down
in Seminole county, Orange county
and elsewhere brick roads built
shortly before our asphalt roads were
made-have been torn up and relaid,
so bad had they become under less
than two years wear If the Brick
Trust defenders want genuine photo
graphs of some Of these boasted roads
in their dilapidated condition, let them
send to this Office for them and give
us $500 bond the pictures will be re-
turned to us.
Here are some facts for Osceola
county and all other counties to di-
gest:
A nine-foot-wide brick road laid on
sand foundation, as usual, costs So
0O0 A nine-foot-wide asphalt road on
hard clay foundation, as usual, costs
about $500 to $4,000 If asphalt is
laid two inches thick on solid four
inch concrete foundation, it will cost
about $7.300-or $1,70O less than a
wabbly, rickety brick road laid on
sand.
Go to it, people! Let 'em fool you
down in OBceola. They never men
ton brick in Lake county!

ry at the appointed hour, in spite of
the intense cold. They found Dunbar
all ready too, except he said he had
not been to supper. So he was taken
to the Spring Creek hoteI--now doing
duty as a hog house on the old L. w.
Carncross farm, in West point--and
given the best the house afforded.
After supper the party started on
their nine-mile drive to Clifton, but
when they reached the Cummings
farm, adjoining the school section in
West Point, Dunbar complained of be-
ing very cold and also hungry again.
A stop was therefore made, while he
was being thawed out and fine sup
per of hot biscuits and coffee served
him by the kind hearted lady Of the
house.
/ Another start was then made, but
on reaching the crest of the hill west
of the Cummings house--this spot be-
ing reputed as the coolest place in the
county-Dunbar discovered that he
had left his gloves lying in the baby's
cradle at Cummings and although all
members of the party offered the loan
of theirs, yet Dunbar insisted on get.
ting out and going back after his own,
which he did. After awaiting his re-
turn until nearly overcome with the
cold, the team was turned around and
driven to Cummings, where it was
learned he had neatly given them the
slip, and hiked for the Ferry, with
two square meals to the good.
1t is needless to say that no further
effort was made to corall Dunbar
Woodman for initiation into the 1,OO1.
