through the woods. There was large
log which he had to climb over and
as he was about to get over it, a
large bear got onto it with his fore
paws. The man was so frightened
that he tainted away and when he
came to, the bear was gone. Perhaps
the bear was frightened, too.
The bears were so numerous then
that they would come into the yard
and pick up a little pig and make off
with it. One day my brother and
went to look for a cow that had stray
ed about a half-mile away and we
were surprised to hear a baby cry
ing not far from where we were in
the woods. We ran home and gave
the alarm. Mr.. Olae was there and
he said it was a good thing we ran as
it was a bear cub. He told us that
they sounded much like child cry
ing. However, they did not go to in
vestigate as they had no gun.

Well, then along in the fall came
the Indians but they seemed to be

we called him then. He was not at
all like the other Indians, nor was
he so dark. and he could speak Eng
lish quite we'll. He would motion a
great deal. He always had a young
woman and two boys with him and we

narly grown up. One, the younger,
aged about IL, would pass for
white boy, not being very dark and
having very pretty features. The
older one was dark and coarse fea-
tured. Ah-ho-cho-ka knew how we
made maple sugar and showed us
how to fry eggs, turn them right over.
He was a neat man for an Indian and
kept his handkerchief busy while he
ate his meals and talked
Then it was several days since we
had seen the Indians. One day when
we were in Reedsburg about Thanks

withered old man. He was talking to
Mr.. Harris and was very poorly clad.
Mr.. Harris went upstairs and brought
him an overcoat and he seemed to

lived for many years after that,
though he was very old man at that
time.

INDIANS AND BEARS WERE IN ABUNDANCE IN
PIONEER TIMES, WRITE S MRS GOODELL FROM ''
HILLP0INT AH.HC -CHO-KA AND HIS TWO WIVES

1t was hard in pioneer days to get
along without milk or butter so faith
er bought a COW. However, he never
brought her home as he had no place
to keep her, no stable, no fence. So
he traded her for some chickens and
pigs. But they had to have something
to eat, too. The pigs could roam and
find roots and acorns. Bear in mind,
that the pigs of that time were not
like the blooded hogs of today; so
when bear got after them, they
could run. But many times the old
ones were caught, too. defending
their young. The Indians got the bear
fairly we'll thinned out for they want
ed the pelts to sell.
After some time the settlers went
to building rail fences and some of
the neighbors told father that they
would come and show him how to lay
the worm. So the time came and we
children were very anxious to see
the worm" until our uncle told us
what it was So they got a place
ready to keep a cow and the little
steers. Father went to Spring Green
on foot and bought a cow from Mr..
Mieser. (Some of the family are liv-
ing in Spring Green YETI He led that
little COW home by halter made of
Eastwood bark and now we had a
COW at last.
After awhile the Indians left and
the people felt better. They did not
harm anyone but they were always
wanting something to eat and we
children were afraid to stay alone If
mother were out. they would take
anything they could find to eat.
Things were going along fine now
in the. new world and many new set
tiers coming in. A store was opened
at Sandusky by Mr. Dano and a post
Office established. There Was "a
blacksmith shop, and shinglemaker,
H. Olae, and a shoemaker, Mr..
Powell. Mr. Prouty was town clerk
and all were kept busy and when
harvest time came the men would
shoulder their cradles and walk to
Spring Green prairie to harvest
wheat at one dollar per day. That
was the life of the pioneer.
Then came the Civil war and the
men had to leave everything and go
forth to help save the union. The
older men, boys, end women were
left at home to do the work. Those
were four trying years. Prices went
soaring as they did in the World war
Harvey Reeve then had the postmas-
tership and a store at Sandusky and
used to go to Portage for his goods
with team, four days trip. The
distance was sixty miles or more
Talk about hard times!
Our mail service was poor, mail
but once a week, on Saturday, and
when the war was on, a great crowd
would gather at the postofice to hear
the news from the dear ones at the
front. Mr.. Reeve would stand on a
platform and read the list of killed
and wounded in battle throughout
