Murder of Ed Nichols

After many weeks, more details
concerning the tragic death of Ed
ward Nichols, Of Bend, Ore, brother
of Frank Nichols of Stockport, have
reached the latter in the shape of a
newspaper clipping from a western
newspaper. Edward Nichols will
be remembered as a son of the late
Thomas and Rachel Ann Maris Mich
OILS of Windsor township, and his
boyhood days were spent in Morgan
county. About 35 years ago he went
west where he has ever since re-
sided He was home about five
years ago, renewing his acquaint-
ance with early friends.
From the newspaper accounts it
seems that Nichols in company with
two friends, Dewey Morris and Roy
Wilson, were engaged in hunting
and trapping at fox farm on Little
Lava lake in the Cascade noun
tains in Oregon. They were last
seen on Jan. 18th. The remains of
the three men were found floating
on Big Lava lake three miles from
where they were camping, all three
having been murdered. Wilson's
body was the first taken from the
LAKE. The point of his right shoulder

The Veteran I{efireS

Gen. Isaac Sherwood of Toledo,
and point of service, will make no
more campaigns for the honor his
district has been willing to give him
on SO many occasions. Word from
Washington is that he will retire
from public life at the end of his
term. Born in 1885, he has lived
nearly nine decades but still enjoys
wonderful health. A member of
Congress first in 1873, when Gen.
Grant was president, he outranks all
his associates in his span of service.
A Democrat, but a victor many times
in district normally Republican,
he has won political distinction for
his ability to secure and hold public
support.
Gen. Sherwood, apparently, has
had an experience similar to Speak
er Cannon, whose retirement took
place only recently Years may
bring few physical burdens, the vet
eran may be hale and hearty, but
time brings changes which none es-
capes. There is natural slowing
down, less of ambition to do and ac-
complish. Under that influence

to, youth and middle age, becomes

a bullet hole back of his right ear.
When Nichols body was found. it
showed the charge had entered his

there was also a hole in his skull

Senator Wheeler Exonerated

The public was not unprepared
for the report of the senate commit
tee that eXonerated Senator Wheel
er of Montana from the charges that
he had accepted a fee from a client
to appear before the interior depart
ment following his election as sena-
tor. Developments from the start
had indicated a failure to establish
the charge on which the senator was
indicted in the federal court in Mon
tana. The same testimony was in
troduced, was studied and consider
ed, and four of the five members of
the committee decided it failed to
establish guilt There was much tes-
timony in support of the denial of
the charge made by Senator Wheel
er.
Senator Borah was chairman of
the committee making the investiga
ton. He insisted there was but one
question before the committee and
at issue. He refused to make an in
vestigation of the counter charge of
Senator Wheeler that the indict-
ment was the result of "frameup"
and in retaliation for his senatorial
activities. The action of the com
mittee in holding to the one ques-
ton in the resolution probably was
correct and Senator Wheeler can
make his counter showing in the
courts.
That senatorial Investigation was
we'll handled, taken up promptly,
carried on with efficiency; vigorous
Investigations were made and de-
clsion was reached without tiresome
delay. 1t illustrated how sena-
torial inquisition may be conducted
and affords fine example for other
committees. The charge against
Senator Wheeler remains to be dis
posed of in the federal court in his
own state, but the action of the SEN
ate committee will be to his adyan-
age with the public, probably in the
trial of the case Senator Wheeler
made some sensational charges
against those who caused his in
dictment and there was some testi-
mony that supported his charges.

at many other resorts, travel by
auto has changed the population. 1t
it now more varied and shifting.
Many make this place only a stop,
on long trip including many inter
esting points. Yet these transients
do not diminish the number of fam
lilies owning or renting attractive
bungalows, nor the number of
teachers coming for a six weeks spe-
clal course. What was a camp
meeting in the decade following the
Civil war, developed into Sunday
school assembly. This yielded to
the demand for a wider education
and now, all sides of important pub
lie questions are presented from the
Chautauqua platform. The growth
from then to now has been marvel
Gus. We are wondering what new
thing will be done to celebrate this
the fiftieth anniversary.

Then And Now
When Chautauqua Was Young
and New
lBy Isabel BoZman)

(By Isabel BoZman)
Several of our esteemed ladies Of
the old home town, made a short
summer trip to that budding as
semb1y, when the Chautauqua was
young and new. The reports they
brought home to say the least, were
not satisfactory. One Of these
friends with quiet, regular habits,
reserved and modest, could not for
get nor describe with too vivid col
ors, the life in tents, in hemlock
huts and rough boarding halls,
where whispered word could be
heard next door and housekeeping
arrangements were so public. 1t
was laughable to hear her describe
it all And so little water, yet a
whole lake at your service.
There is some difference between
then and now. This season, there
is an addition to one hotel, of fifty
rooms with baths. Cottages are
lighting systems have been installed.
This changes the point of view. How
we wish our long ago reporter could
see Chautauqua as it is now In
those early days when "Pansy"
wrote -Four Girls at Chautauqua,"
it was interesting, as we walked the
woodland paths, to glance in at the
window of centennial" or the
opening of tent, and see the var
ious groups, perhaps a family, or
several girls eating their lunch
their small equipment pieced out by
paper bags, conspicuous as part of
the table service. Now, the cafeteria,
lunch room, grill, and tea room are
to be found as appetite and pocket
book will allow. The bake shop has
all that the name implies. Two city
groceries have each day fresh i'm
ports of vegetables and fruits. Meat
and fish from a fine refrigerator,
over perfect counters, while milk
products are tested and sold in such
quantities it would be an astonish-
ment to name. Yes, we could care
for our friends now with all lux
uries one could want.
Our first trip to Chautauqua is a
vivid remembrance. Our room was
an attic, the rain beating a lively
tune upon the roof. A striped cot
ton curtain divided the room into
two, making a very narrow space
for dressing and a Methodist minis
ter and his wife on the other side
Of the curtain. That was in 1890.
In 1928 we again had third floor
attic, but this time with all the com
forts of home. Who knows what
that includes? 1t means fine air up
in the very tree tops, running water,
electricity gas, good bed and lin
ems, best of all friendly companions.
That is comfort. Elegancies of fur
nishing and decoration are not nee
eSsary. The ideal approach to the
assembly grounds is by way Of the
lake. Boats in the early days,
made good connection with the
through trains, and it was a delight
o sight the dock with it's back
ground of foliage surrounding the
arge hotel short distance beyond
he lake road. Now, with a fine
trolley station on the other side of
he grounds, we do not think mo-
nent of beauty, but speed, and to
arrive in hurry. The autos are
cared for in safe garages outside the
cate since the fire, year ago,
when one hundred fine cars were
)urned. Many of them We're there
or over night only; others packed
ready to leave the next morning.
When the alarm was sounded and
he destructive fire took place AS

NSl E4AAsxM IsI| back to 1910
WTAWEassedUIAW when a party
x EMR " of Spaniards
189o sent out by
Coronado succeeded in penetrat-
ing to the Colorado river. There
is no authentic record of fur
ther explorations until over 200
years had elapsed. In 1776 two
Franciscan friars, in their at
tempt to find the shortest way
to the Pacific, went from Santa
Fe to Utah Lake. The Great
Salt Lake, however, was not
discovered until 1924, when
James Bridges, a trapper, in
wandering through this region
came upon this huge, inland, salt
sea.
But the real history of Utah
begins with the rise of Mormon
power there. Discouraged by the
agitation in Illinois and Mis-
souri,, the Normons decided to
emigrate to the great West. In
large caravans they travelled
across the plains and in 1S47
came to Salt Lake City where
they settled. Here they -four
jshed, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached total
in this vicinity of over $4,000.
Meanwhile, In 1S4S, by the terms
of the treaty of peace with Mex
leo, huge western tract, of
which Utah was part, was
ceded to the United States. AS
no definite government was ar
ranged for, the control of affairs
locally was for number of years
entirely in the hands of the Off
GERS of the Mormon church.
They, accordingly, made up a
constitution and organized un-
der the name of the State of
Deseret. This is a word taken
from the Book of Mormon, and
signifies, Industry" Application
was made for admission to the
Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead
organized the Territory of Utah
in 1850. The first governor was
Brigham Young, the successor
of Joseph Smith, and president
of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with
polygamy met with little success
until in 1890 the Mormon church
finally agreed lot to counteEance
1t. Meanwhile, growing altag-
onism between the Mormons and
MOrmons verged nearly on
civil war. Finally a general
amnesty was declared and after
many requests Utah was ac-
cepted as the forty-Gfth state of
the Union IN 1886.
