Telephone 142 'A VISITED THESE PARTS OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO Tell* of Experiences in This Vicinity When Lambertqn Was Wilder ness. By Nathan Butler In the summer of 1861, the year be fore the Indian outbreak in Minnesota, I helped to run the township lines be tween the first and second standard parallels and the fifth and sixth guide meridian in Murray and Pipestone counties in Minnesota under a contract with the United States government. There were then about half a dozen families living around Lake Shetek and no others within those two counties. We hired a Mr. Everett, who lived at Lake Shetek to work for us on that job as a mound builder. He was a strong, able bodied man, able and willing to work and a very pleasant man in a crew. The Indians filled him full of lead in that marsh east of Shetek where they at tacked the settlers, who had fled from the lake in the direction of New Ulm. They did not kill him there, but he died several years after, mainly from the effects of the wounds received then. The Indians were roaming over that territory during our stay there, ostensibly hunting elk in the groves around Shetek Bear lake and the Des Moines river. They would sit around on the high land and watch us all day to see what we were doing and then we would keep a guard all night to see what they were doing. They did not molest us that summer though they passed through our party one day in single file and open order looking neither to the right nor left. They refused to respond to our call in English or Sioux. They would pull up our stakes and throw them away into the tallest grass nearby until we found out what they were doing and then we drove the stakes into the ground too hard for them to pull up. They did not like to see us surveying and staking off their land. It indicated to them that the white man had taken possession. One night we were camped on the south end of a lake in Pipestone county with some Indians camped on the northern end of the same lake, a mile away. Fearing they would steal our horses the teamster drew the wagon up in front of the tent and tied the horses to it, one on each side of the pole. He tied the picket ropes to their front feet and the other- end of them to his leg in the tent. The light in the tent had not been out ten minutes when one of the horses started to pull the teamster out of the tent. The horse was standing off the length of the picket rope with halter rope hanging loose. We heard the Indian running through the brush down to the lake. The horse was tied up again with the picket rope tied to the tent pole. The halter rope was found untied again in the morning but the picket rope saved him. The Indian did not get on to that picket rope attach ment. When we went out we went by way of Mankato up the Watonwan river by Madelia until we struck the first standard parallel and followed that west into Murray county where our work commenced. When we had finished we took the wagon trail that the settlers had made from Shetek to New Ulm. There was no one living on that trail until we came to "Dutch Charley" who lived on "Charley Creek" about seven miles south by east from Lamberton. I have heard that the Indians did no$ kill Charley because he was sandy com plected and red headed and they thought that he was an Irishman or a Scotchman and belonged to the Hudson Bay Fur Company. They would not injure a Hudson Bay man because on them they depended for arms and ammunition. But what became of the settlers around Lake Shetek? I could not do them justice if I tried. I have read every account of them that I could I find, but never but one that did them anywhere near justice, and that was the one written by Agnes C. Lant and published in Outing Magazine in June, 1908. It is in the principal libraries in the state and a copy might be had of the publishers of Outing. It should be re published in every local paper from Shetek to New Ulm, for the present generation have little idea of the hard ships that the first settlers in the state endured, especially the women of the western frontier. They are in a class by themselves. They are a class who never had the credit given them that they deserve. It takes more courage for a woman to sever the ties that bind her to friends and home with comfort and even luxury and climb into an old Pennsyl vania wagon and turn her face to the West with all the risk of accident, sick ness and even death at the hands of savages, than it does for a soldier to enlist for the war as to go into battle or even to make a charge with the bayonet. The soldier has the encouragement of the public, the excitement of the "pomp and circumstances of glorious war," while the woman has the quiet of solitude and plenty of time to think of what she is doing and to imagine what she is likely to encounter in the unknown future. While the state has expended five hundred dollars in building monuments to perpetuate the memory of Robinson Jones because he was accidently the first man who was killed by the Indians in 1862, the state and the people .seem to have forgotten Mrs. Eastlich'and her two children who traveled this trail from *Ru j*%m Shetek to New Ulm four days and nights with nothing to eat and scant clothing to protect them from the cold. S. M. O. P. B. The first chapter of the Society for Minding Other People's Business has been organized among the High School students this last month. No eligibility rules have been adopted but the membership is already large. The entrance requirements are a lack of ordinary courtesy, and a well-developed self-consciousness of near-virtue. The purposes of the Society besides self adoration, are, in general,* reclamation of all Hopelessly lost and sin-clinkered souls, the abolition of the protective tariff on muck-raking, and the hasten ing of the Millenium. The activities of this Society have been shrouded in mystery. Their rallying cry has veen surreptitiously discovered by the local Slew-ith to be: "Knock'em slam'em but their ritual still remains in total darkness. Their habitat seems to be the science laboratory rooms, dark corners during play practise nights, and the old Indian monument. The local chapter is considering affiliation with Hearst's magazine, and the I. W. W. The motto officially adopted at the last meeting by unanimous viva voce vote reads as follows: "To the pure in mind all things are rotten." CLASS HONORS ANNOUNCED Elizabeth Dougher gets first place Thusnelda Gag and Lucille Brun ner tie for Second. Last Friday noon Mr. Hess called together the Seniors, and spoke to them about the honors which are con ferred upon some of them for having the highest average during the four years in which they prepare for gradu ation. There was great excitement when he gave out the slips with the yearly averages, for all expected he would follow the usual custom and give out the names of those who were honored with valedictoran and salutatorianship. But this was not the case. The only light he would throw upon the mystery was, thru saying that gallantry had made itself very prominent amongst the boys of the class for the honors were between three girls, one of whom had first place by a slight margin and that' there was nearly a tie for second honors. He then said that the last month's work was to be averaged in and that Monday morning would bring the tidings which was making the heart of every girl thump. Monday morning Mr. Petterson gave up his usual abode on the rostrum in favor of Mr. Hess. The school was in deadly silence, except for a few fresh men when the superintendent's stately figure loomed up before the eyes of all. He first explained the lateness of the announcement he was about to make, saying that in former years when the honors were given out at the beginning of the second semester, they would not always be correct by the end of the school term. He then showed how these were averaged, being carried out two decimal places. Mr. Hess also put in the minds of the lower classmen the idea of it all, and urged them all to strive hard in order to equal those who were honored this year. Then came the long waited for proclamation. Elizabeth Dougher received the high est honors Thusnelda Gag and Lucille Brunner were practically tied for second honors only a fraction of a hundreth per cent separating their efforts, numeri cally. Elizabeth Dougher will give the valedictory address and essay. Thus nelda Gag, because she ranks higher for second place, was given the choice of giving the "address of welcome" or the "Essay" with the salutatory honor. She chose the former. Lucille Brunner will give the Essay with Salutatory honors. No booby prizes were awarded. TRACK MEN AT WORK The heavy weight division of the future track team has been sedulously going thru its prescribed exercises the last week to good advantage! The only thing which somewhat marred the week's work was a painful accident which occurred when Ray Lehmann accidentally dropped the shot on his head. Ray escaped unhurt but the shot was cracked so badly that it had to be discarded. The speed division has been conspicuous by its absence. Little enthusiasm is being shown in running, as there seems to be not enough attraction in track work to get the men to get out and practise. The velocity experts have at various times this spring developed enough speed to fog a kodak film but their work as a whole is rather" disappointing. Entry blanks have been received by Coaeh*Kierzek, from the athletic boards' of Carleton College, and the University of Minnesota for track meets this spring. If enough material can be developed here to make a creditable showing at both these places, entries will no* doubt be made. Redwood Falls has asked for, a dual meet, but the terms are stillJ uncertain. The interclass meet still hangs fire, while most of the other schools in the state had their meets last week. A high school baseball team is almost an impossibility with the limited time tennis seems to be out of the question without a court, and the other spring sports, handball and volley ball, still languish because of lack of equipment. REMEMBER THE "HOBBY HORSE" "Speak up! Speak up! not so fast. There! There! that's right. There now. Oh! Smile a little! It won't hurt you." These are expressions that may con stantly be heard ringing through the High School Auditorium almost every night. Everyone in the cast of the "Hobby Horse" is straining his poor little head, endeavoring to walk, look and talk right. Nevertheless as time is becoming rather limited the students are perfecting themselves in the art of acting. All parts are memorized and everyone knows what to do, so by constant rehearsal till May 7th the "Hobby Horse" will be acted to perfection. Most likely most of the prominent citizens have already secured their tickets for this extraordinary treat but there are still quite a few tickets which may be had without any extra charge. All seats in Parquette and Balcony, 50 cents. Dress Circle, 75 cents. Seats may be reserved at Pioneer Drug Store without any extra charge. BUY THEM WHILE THEY LAST!
