court house, with very few if any
prisoners, ii seemed to me that the
character of the representative citi-

much to do with this condition, as
they We're all hardy pioneers, willing
to undergo the hardships incident
to settlement of a new country. and
always willing to lend a helping

I'm the early days of Rawlins
there were only a few water mains,
and the majority of the houses had
to provide for their water supply by
keeping a 50-gallon barrel in the
house where ii would not freeze in
winter. and carry the water in pals
and fill the barrel, or they could
purchase the water from boys who
made a business of delivering it at
fifty cents per barrel. The boys had
a 5O-gallon whiskey barrel. to each
end of which they fastened an axle,
and from this axle a handle was APP
plied with a cross piece holding the
two handles together. The barrel
could then be rolled on the ground
like a wheelbarrow. after 1t had been
filled with water and the bung OF
cork fastened. This was considered
the height of efficiency and quick
service.

PIONEER RESIDENT TELLS
STORY Of EARLIER times
CAME HERE in HIS YOUTHFUL DAYS and HAS RE-
NAMED TO SEE HIS HGME CITY GROW FROM
TINY HAMLET TO COMMERCIAL CENTER

The wide spread interest in so-caled wild west days,
which is evidenced in the increasing number of rodeos and
frontier day celebrations everywhere in the west, and even
extending to eastern cities, has served to establish a connect
imp link between the past and the present, of especial interest
to the younger people, to whom the life and activities of the
hardy cowpunchers are merely matters of historical interest,
generally speaking.
Thus it came about that The Republican, in attempting to
give well deserved publicity to the Rawlins Rodeo and to the
enterprising city which maintains this great annual attrac-
ton, sought to procure an>interesting and authentic narrative
Of early days in this city, entirely aside from cattle and broncho
busters.
In this we were fortunate for the gentleman whose story
follows has resided here practically all of his busy life and
during this time has taken a keen interest in all local happen
ings, which coupled with a retentive memory, renders his ac-
count entertaining and of real historical value. 'The Old

SIX months after the approximate determination of the

young man stepped from the train at Little Missouri in that
territory and set himself to his quest, the hunting of the great
game. When Theodore Roosevelt, a few years hence, had
finished his western career of hunter, cowboy and cattle owner
OF the Bad Lands, he had developed and disciplined his body
into an engine of power, while his ideals and will more and

1t was towed along so swiftly by
the deep water mystery that our
hats were blown right off our heads.
For two hours we were hauled
around and around that lake with
out even seeing the creature that
was furnishing the motive power.
Finally our quarry rose to the sur
face. A huge bright red, sharklike
fish jumped 80 feet up out of the
water and when he came down he
kicked up mighty splash of water
so high that II came down for half
a minute in the form of bright blue
rain.
He dove, and after swimming
deep for about 20 minutes more,
the fish darted into shallow bay
where a great school of landlocked
salmon, becoming frightened by the
sudden appearance of the huge in
vader, stampeded farther into the
bay where they leaped by the humid
red onto the neighboring cliffs and
hills.
1t was six hours before the great
fish showed signs of fatigue. We
towed him slowly to shallow sand
bar and with the aid of six Indians
who happened to be there, hauled
him high and dry upon the sands.
By that time it was midnight but,
strange to say, the sun was still
half an hour high in the west. 1t
had been so excited about the con-
hict on No Bottom lake that it had
forgotten to set!
Oh, what monster. The fish
was IL feet from stem to stern. 1t
had two giant horns like Texas
steers with two prongs on each.
A three-foot bone sword came out
of his back and otherwise he Was
like a big man-eating shark. He
weighed about a quarter of ton.
Naturally, there was no use in
trying to transport such a monster
in little 16-foot canoe so we hao
to leave him there. Before we left
the Indians asked us if we would
allow them to take the scales off the
fish and use them in Singing the
roof of their shacks.
Mr.. Ahlstrom and / have been
swamped with letters from all parts
of the country asking for informa-
.tlon regarding the horned shark we
caught in No Bottom lake. Scientists
who have examined our sketches and
snap shots have not been able 20.

and a variety of landlocked shark

These lakes all have sand or peb-
BILE bottoms and shores and afford
fine fishing, boating and bathing.
They are surrounded by wooded
hills or grassy meadows and the
shores of many of them are already
lined with summer cottages. Battle
Lake was the scene of a greet
Indian Battle in early times when
the Sioux were defeated by the
Chippewas and driven from this re-
gion. There are number of Indian
mounds at the outlet of Otter Tail
Lake. The County is on the Con-
tinental Divide and a part of its
lake system drains into the Red
River and the Hudson's Bay, while
part goes south to the Minnesota
river, the Mississippi and the Gulf
of Mexico.
