the world safe for democracy,
"Now, Therefore be it
"ResoIved by the board of di-

lars and thirty-two cents, and that
execution issue for the same.

Wood was the first white man to per-

here with his squaw and two daugh-

here but had gone away. Wood was
a rough frontiersman and either fought
or wrestled with about everyone who
cared to test his strength with such
an adversary.
One Sunday about fifty men were
gathered on Clinton square in Lyons
and more or less of sparring prevailed.
This was some time in the fifties
