Alexander Moore took up joint
claim north of the river and built
a saw mill that year and later added
grist mill.
The first miller was man named
Cannon. The original mill dam went
out" in 1865, and the new mill was
erected on the south side of the riv-
er where it now stands. ~
In connection with the story of the
establishing of the first mill here,
tradition tells of an attempt made
by party to Jump" the Jaques
claim, and of the claim jumper being
thrown into the river by a party of
indignant settlers.
Mr.. Carr came to Sank Centre first
in the late fifties but it was not un-
til 1865 that he came here with his
father, James D. Carr to make his
home. Mr.. Carr, Sr., took part in
the early real estate business of this
locality.
Mr.. Jaques did not remain in the
mill business very long, but fa-er
disposed of, his interest to Mr.. Moore
and took up claim west of the
city
Mr.. Moore conducted the business
here for many years and Probably
played the most promIiic,it part in
the early building Of business pur-
suits in what was later called Sauk
Centre.

Sauk Centre---Its Traditions
and Its Life
By GEORGE D. WING

never stopped until he reached the
fire where he kicked over the pail Of
ducks, stamped out the fire and or
dered the Indians to get out There
were eight Indians in the party, but
they feared Taylor and moved or
without giving US trouble. Person
ally expected to see Taylor killed
but he seemed to bear charmed Life
! where Indians were concerned
Mr.. Carr tells of another incident
in which Taylor at work on a shanty
was visited by a party of Chippewa
Without ceremony he picked up a
club and attacked one of their num-
ber, driving the lot of them away be-
cause he said he "didn't. want them
around"
But perhaps the-most striking ex-
ample of the character of the man
was demonstrated in later years af-
ter the stockade had been built here.
TAYLOR and another trapper had some
difficulty in the old Pendergast
store. The trapper told Taylor that
if he would "step out of the store
he would shoot him" Taylor obey
ed and as a result was severely
wounded. The man who did the
shooting was Immediately put under
arrest and placed in the stockade
guardhouse. The military authorities
later called upon Taylor and told him
that as soon as he recovered suffl-
GENTLY, if he would come to the
stockade to give testimony, they
would prosecute his assailant. Tay-
lor bluntly refused to go, telling the
authorities to turn the man loose.
He would take care of him when he
got well."\
One of the stories told by Taylor
was that before coming here to live
he and his wife were encamped in the
vicinity of Fairy Lake. Here, he said,
they sat on a hill one day and watch
ed battle between the Sioux and the
Chippewa in which many Indians
were killed and the Chippewas fin
ally driven northward.
The Indian name for Sauk Lake.
according to Mr.. Carr was "Osaugge
Lake." named for a Chippewa chief.
Probably the first trade center in
this immediate locality, was gov
ernment trading post located north
of the river on the lake at about the
point where the Wiesner ice house
now stands. This was established in
the late forties and was conducted
by P. Lamb, as agent.
The first attempt to bride Sauk
River at this point was made in
1853 when two men, Alf Jaques and
The Sauk Centre herald., 1921-02-17

Terry Taylor-"F Fiddler Taylor" as
he was better known to his associates
hunter, trapper and Indian hater, was
probably one of the most interesting
characters of the early pioneer life
, of Sank Centre. -..p.
Fiddler" Taylor and his wife, a
hardy pioneer woman, came to this
locality in the late forties. They
hunted and trapped through most OF
the lake region of this section and
finally erected a cabin on Sauk Riv-
er near the present mill site, and
made this locality their permanent
home.
Here Mr.. Taylor and his wife as
sisted later in laying the foundations
of the present city, although cid
dler" never took part in the busl-
ness activities of the community, but
followed his pursuits as trapper
and hunter all his life.
Both Taylor and his wife were
musicians, Mr.. Taylor playing the
violin and his wife bass violin at
the social gatherings in the early
days. 1t was because of his ability
to play the violin which led to his
nick name Fiddler"
Bryon Carr, one of the pioneer res
idents of Sank Centre, who first came
here in the late fifties to hunt, knew
Mr.. Taylor intimately. Mr.. Carr and
Mr.. Taylor hunted together consid-
erably and it is through the former
that we learned of the life of the
trapper.
One of the great grievances of
Taylor's life was the Indian. He hat
ed them in every way, shape and
manner regardless of tribe, cast or
conduct. Taking into consideration
the circumstances surrounding the
life of this trapper, the mystery is
that he ever lived through the early
period when the Indian, his natural
enemy, prevailed here.
Mr.. Carr in telling Of an early
hunting trip he made on the lake
with Taylor, relates the following
story as an example of the manner
in which Taylor dealt with the In
diam
"We had gone up the lake with a
boat and landed to hunt. Upon our
return to the water, we found our
boat had been shot full of holes.
Taylor knew that there were Indians
in the vicinity, and he told me to
take my gun and come with him
We had not gone far when we came
upon a party of Chippewa Indians
sitting around a fire over which they
were cooking ducks in pail. Taylor

Fined $3.50 and Costs.

viii Pearson's case, continued
from last week, was concluded be-
fore Squire Steele Monday morning.
He was charged with reckless driv-
ing on night of October 9Th when
it is alleged he ran into a wagon
and mule belonging to A. B. Chand,
Ter, and driven by Walter Cole, on
the Ellerbe road; and it is alleged
that the mule received such iniu-
ries that the animal had to be killed.
Squire Steele found Pearson gull
ty of exceeding the speed limit, and
fined him $3.50, and costs, the latter
amounting to $685.. 1t is presumed
a civil action will be instituted
against Pearson later by Mr.. Chand-
Ter.

LONG DISTANCE POWER
Cotton Mills Shift from Day to Night
Work This Week! Extra Power Sc
cured from Steam Plants in Alabama.

Four of the largest of Rocking,
hams cotton mills Roberdel No.
2, Steele's, Entwistle, Hannah
Pickett, and probably others
changed from day to night work
Monday, due to the inability to
get electric power for day opera
tions.
The Yadkin River Power Com
pany has sufficient water to en-
able it to serve its small plants
with power and its towns with
current for lighting purposes,
but were the Company to con-
tinue to furnish current for the
big mills its water would be so
depleted as to possibly endanger
its lighting service. And so rath-
er than run the risk, it has con-
tracted for current from steam
driven plants in Alabama, Those
steam plants are loaded during
the day, but have current to
spare at night, hence their ability
to sell night current, and so the
North Carolina mills supplied by
the Yadkin River Power Com
pany will now run at night in
stead of day. The current comes
over the Alabama Company lines
then across Mississippi, Georgia
and into South Carolina over the
Southern Power Company's line
to Camden where it connected
with tue Yadkin River Power
Company's lines, and thence
over their system. This inter
locking arrangement of the DOW
er companies IS invaluable, and
comes in handy in such emergen-
cies as the present drought has
created.
The Yadkin River Power Com
pany has huge steam. auxiliary
plant in Raleigh, but has been
unable to operate it on account
of lack of water. The capital
city has been on short water ra-
tions for over two months, but
the Power Company is going to
remedy the situation by means
of wells of its own, ten having
been bored on the Raleigh water
shed. 1t is hoped to get water by
this means in the next two weeks.
