RICHES III IOWA

Employed on the Hinchman Farm as a

Lad He Returns After Forty Years

To See Boyhood Friends.

J. M. Hinchman, of this city, had "the experience of a very pleasant surprise a few days ago which recalled to his mind many of his boyhood Jays. He was busy at his usual duties about his barn, when his son, the ex-mayor of this city, notified him that there was a stranger at the house who desired to see him. When Mr. Hinchman reached the house there was a man waiting for him in whose face, he recognized nothing familiar. The stranger smiled and said, "Don't you know me?" Mr. Hinchman responded by saying he did not. The stranger insisted that Mr. Hinchman ought to recognize "him, but Mr. Hinchman said, "If the Lord does not know you any better than I do you are lost." The stranger then said, "Don't you remember Antony Hilkene?" Mr. Hinchman remembered the name as well as he did those of his own family, but he could not recognize anything familiar in his face. He had become large and fleshy. But remembering a peculiarity in the feet of Mr. Hilkene, he looked, there sure enough was the familiar feature. Mr. Hinchman said, "Yes, there is no jqusstion about the identity."

Away back forty-five years ago, just about the close of the civil war, the late John Hinchman, who was then a leading stockbuyer of this section of Indiana, brought to his home southeast of this city, a boy fresh from Germany. He could scarcely speak English, but he was a good worker, and he staid with Mr. Hinchman for three years, worked on the farm and went to school with his children.

He became acquainted with everybody in Greenfield and vicinity and was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge when he left here. He saved his money and had $500. He went to Indianapolis from here. He afterwards came to Greenfield and told Mr. Hinchman that his girl from the old country was coming to Iowa and that he was going there, and if he liked the country he would like the girl and get married. Nothing was heard from him from that time until he again appeared in this city a fe.w days ago. It is more than forty years since ths^b time. He has raised a ^ily of six boys, and has accumua fortune. Two of his boys fine fruit farms in the State of ington, where they spend the &r and in the summer they go to fClondyke. They, like their

Jr have become rich. Hilkene, when here a few days was on his way to his native

He said that he would stop in enfield on his return. He recogad many of the old landmarks of town among the large number of ranges, and pointed out the old home of the late Taylor Thomas, the Gooding corner and Masonic Hall recalled that A1 Flippo was Noble Grand of the Odd Fellows when he was a member, and shook hands with the veteran merchant, John Ward Walker. He called on Mrs. M. M. Adams, who was a school girl when he was a farm hand of her father. The peculiar mark on his feet whi6h

was so familiar to Mart Hinchman •was due to an injury received while serving in the German war.

BU66IES! BU6GIES! BUGGIES!

I have too many on hand at this time, must unload the largest part of them. Will sell them cheaper than they were ever sold in this city for the month of June. J. M. Hinchman, East Main street.

The stock buyers are very lary of the hog market. The price has been so high and the margin on which hogs are bought so close that they are almost afraid to buy. If there comes a. slump the chances are strongly against the buyers. The market is gofcig the wrong way for them. They are not offering as much by 26 cents on the hundred as they did a week ago.
