Right in line with those who
brought or made fortunes here
and lost them. might he mem
toned those others whose prom
nance, business, characteris-
tics, notoriety, or achievements
at the time or since, has made
or would make them interesting
SUBJECTS in common conversa-
ton.
Albert Hughes would be the
first IN tile list under any and al.
of the attributes here enumerat-
ed. But we have really covered
all of peculiar interest of Hughes
under Tioga county and fortunes
made and lost, and so far as we
know shall not again have occa-
sion to refer to him. 4
The old Judge.
And His Family.
The Jenningses would came
next to the bar-partly from their
relation to the town. partly from
the reputation they bore, partly
while In Boston from the. rep
utation they made, and very
from the notoriety they
afterwards achieved,
Whatever else may be said of
them, they were not fools for the
want of brain capacity; but they
afterwards became fools because
of a wrong direction of them.
Old Judge Jennings was q lit
tie Of everything on :opof ground
"a genius, . wizsard, q diplomat.
an orator. a doctor, . lawyer.
and q good many other things all
in q bunch.
The old Judge had the face of
q weasel and the cunning of q
fox. On top of it all he had
brains, and controlled by those
brains was tongue that could
be used TO the discontinue of
anyone who attempted to cross
bis path-when the crossing was
the wrong way of the grain.
As a public speaker the judge
was without a peer in the SOUTH
west, unless al exception would
be made in the case of preacher
Evans, who lived somewhere in
the neighborhood of the present
Kcnantz, and whose sympathies.
by reason of his location, were
with Minneapolls-in the fight
for the county seat.
AS an aside, as we shall not
have occasion to again refer to
Evans. it will suffice here to say
that he was a speaker of the first
water, and we believe a thor
oughly upright man.
Living in the neighborhood OF
Minneapolis, he naturally cast
his fortunes with that town,
and had he lived no doubt be
would have welded a strong in
fluence in the fight for county
seat honors.
He was diplomatic and fearless
in what he championed and in,
his public addresses along the
lines of his convictions and the
cause he championed.
On one occasion at Boston he
bearded the lion in his den ia a
speech favoring Minneapolis for
the county seat-and that speech
made au those Bostonions sit up
and cake notice.
We believe it was not more
than a week or two after this
that Evans was instantly killed
by being hooked In the eye by a
vicious COW.
When the news reached Boston
of the fatality, it was Judge Jen
nings who said it was the best
thing that could have happened to
Boston, which was compliment
in line with what the North said
when Stonewall Jackson was ac-
cidentally killed by his own
troops.
The greatest fault in the traits
of the Jenningses was their ha5-
it of bullying down opposition.
They were rot quarrelsome in
