FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1913
Energy Corrospondence.
At the time the Washbiirn
Leader issued its first publication
June 15, '83, Hancock bottom,
then known as Walkers bottom
or Walkertown, quite a number of
settlers were located here and
farming was being carried on to
a considerable extent. Our best
recollection is that there were
1200 acres sown to wheat and
oats that year. The first real
pettier was James Walker who
drifted down the Missouri in 1878
and located down next to the riv
er. Subsequent settlers in order
named were: Wm. G. Edwards,
Sargent Murray and family, Sar
gent Gray and wife, E. T. Win
jston, Wm. Smith, Jas Boyle, G.
D. Rohrer, Henry Rohrer, F. G.
Mattoon, Dan Lewis, Robt. Mann,
Richardson. Aside from this list
•were the following who were em
ployed in the main by E. I Win
ston who by theway, was the
bananza farmer of the county at
that time: James Tower, .Ed.
Gray, Ausel Colby, Jas. Diliing
Jbam, (Longhaired Jim), Dan Con
nell, Jack Hinton, (Dutch Jake),
James McDermoth, Tim Harris,
(Atheron), Joe. Burruss, 'Sim
4 Graham and several others whose
ii names cannot be called to mind.

sell this world-famous
watch because we honestly be
lieve that the South Bend Watch
represents more real dollars and
cents value, more service satis
factory, more everything you
have a right to expect in a time
piece than any other watch made or sold
for the same price. If you expect to use your watch a year or
so, it's not so important what kind you get. But if you want one
that will give you a lifetime of service—one that you can always
rely on—a model of accuracy—get a South Bend.
The Man Who Owns a South Bend Watch
never hesitates to tell you so. He it proud to carry it—and with
reason. For the South Bend knows no rival in reliability. It is
unfailingly accurate year in and year out. That's the kind of
watch YOU want, isn't it?

list became actual settlers with
in a year or two, and as nearly
all of the land on the bottom was
taken they located on the high
lands in the immediate vicinity.
Of all the names mentioned, on
ly one real, genuine old timer is
included and that is James Boyle
now of Cole Harbor. The reason
for the omission is that we have
included in our list only those
who were bonefide residents of
the flat at the time the Washburn
Leader first made its appear
ance. Jim was employed by the
government in the building of
Old Fort Stevenson in 1873, and
we have no knowledge when he
first came to Dakota Territory.
We have heard it intimated that
Jim helped to dig the Missouri.,
We might, by going outside of
our flat, write a long list of old
and well known characters who
came here in the early 70's but
positive data is not at hand.
