the following circumstances which
actually took place in the late los.
Invitations were sent out by some
young people in Douglas township
for party. These social functions
were few and far between and the
Crow boys and perhaps Ed Lancelot
decided to 90. The distance was
about six miles but by the road
which took roundabout course
following the ridges it was much
greater.
The boys decided to walk and
take the short cut. Bechtel, a rel
alive who lived in Douglas, volun-
teered to pilot them, saying he had
made the trip so often he could find
the way blindfolded. They set out
about tive o'clock in the evening.
The next morning a little after
sunrise they we're seen making their
way homeward weary and footsore,
having wandered around all night
without finding the place of their
destination. They did not see a
place they recognized in the whole
nights travel and finally found
themselves over in Lincoln township
In the fall of 1876 the grasshop-
pers came. They were too late to
do much damage for that season but
they deposited their eggs in the sod
of the unbroken prairie and the next
spring myriads of young grasshop-
pers came out of the ground and
wrought havoc with the settlers
crops.

BIRD club
: Notes

A farm Of 100 acres in Maryland
only ten miles from Washington,
the capital Of the United States, is
the home of more birds OF different
varieties than any other place in
the world.
The owner with his wife and six
children live there. They have
named the farm "Wild Acres" and
on single acre around the house
and barn were ffty-nine birds nests.
There were fourteen wrens nests,
some of them not more than fifteen
feet apart.

EARLY DAYS OF
AUDUBON COUNTY

In the 7os the north part of the
county settled rapidly. MANY set
tiers bought land which was cheap
then, from six to ten dollars an acre.
And many others moved onto the
vacant railroad land with the erro-
neous belief that the land would be
opened for homestead entry as the
railroad company forfeited its right
to it when it failed to fill its con-
tract.
In 1876 Milton Crow and family,
Jack Lancelot and family, d. G.
Bartshe and others came from Clay
ton and Fayette counties. They
came with prairie schooners, enter
ing the county from the north and
pitched their tent on the prairie in
Viola township, leaving their fam
lilies there while some Of the party
went over into Shelby county to
look for locations. hitting the
land in that direction rougher and
more rolling they returned and with
but too exceptions decided to locate
in Audubon county.
Finding tent but poor protect
ion from the elements, they were
allowed to move into Cameron Cen
ter school house until houses could
be built upon their land.
At that time there We're but few
actual settlers with families but there
were several on the railroad land,
"Squatters" they were called.
Asa Haskins, Ben Clay, Bob Lacy
John Lacy, John Anderson, Joseph
Luse, George McLachlin with their
families were actual settlers. There
were several families on the railroad
land, Of which Mr.. Ogborn was lead
er but the most Of these were but
transient dwellers. The actual res
idents were principally young men
and bachelors who had no families.
John Yaiger, John Laur, Jimmy
and Tommy Robinson, three Nc
Michel boys, Jack, Tom and George
Arthur Kitson, Billy Brakel, a Mr.
Christensen, John Cameron, Chas
McLachlin. Two Somer brothers
George and Sam Ross, Landy Pass.
more and probably others ell unnlar
ried, had land within a radius Of {
few miles. Cap Stuart and George
Gray had bought up much of tn
land and Gray had established
ranch in Cameron.
In the fall of 1876 Thompson
postofice was established at Jacl
Lancelot's. The location being abou
midway between Extra and Carol
on the mail route. The postotfic
was discontinued three years late
when Audubon was established.

Cuban Sugar to Retail
Here at IL Cents a Pound
Wholesalers Will Receive Mar.
gin of Half a Cent on
Crop of 1920

Cuban sugar of the 1920 crop will
be sold. by retailers during January
at II cents a pound. This was def
nitely established yesterday by the
quotation Of the National Refining
Company, which offered new Cubar
sugar at 1920 cents a pound, less
per cent.
The wholesaler will receive margin
of half cent and the retailer one
cent a pound, while incidental costs
will bring the price to the consumer
to II cents. This quotation dispelled
fears that the new sugar would be sold
here at 20 cents a pound, as indicated
by the first installment of 5000, ,0O0
pounds to go through the refineries.
The first consignment will cost more
than the subsequent receipts because
of the subsidies paid to Cuban grow
ers to speed up production to aid in
relieving the shortage here.
Markets Commissioner Edwin J.
O'Malley distributed 10000 pounds of
sugar to city employees yesterday at
