"The big wheel was 52 inches and the little one, behind, was 16 inches. I was about 25 years old when I got it, before I was married, and I rode it six or seven years. Our family was living out at the east end of Martinsville street, and I used to ride the wheel to my work down town in Greencastle every day except when there was too much ice, or snow or mud. I somtimes got so deep in the mud that when I got off my W’heel it would stand upright, hold there by the mud. It was two miles from our house down town and one day, when a big storm was coming up in the east and the wind behind me, I rode those two miles in just two minutes. "Not so long ago an old man asked me if I remembered a student with black whiskers who lived at th” Bayne house and rode on a high wheel with the little wheel in front. I told him T did, and he said he was that fellow.” It was John Brownfield, who died in Greencastle recently, at an advanced age. “Jim Merryweather got on my wheel at the engine house one tim“ to show us how the thing should b' ridden, and he struck a little hole in the road and was thrown. He broke his arm in two places. He was off his job three months. Dr. Hanna took care of the fractures for him. The firemen were Ed Ackerman, Ben Williams, Jim Merryweather and George Nelson. “Lieutenant May had the first safety bicycle in town. It was all nickle plated and was a beauty. “Howard Briggs’ boys had a high wheeler later. They lived out or Morton avenue. “Bert Callahan got one of the first safeties in town. He on his safety and I on my high wheeler had a head on collision one day, no one was hurt but one of my tires was cut off. It was cushion rubber. There were no pneumatic tires those days.

Mr. Schachtel was born in Berg Holme (or "Mountain Home") in Alsace Lorraine, in 1865. He remembers the fighting in the Franco-Prus-sian war, in which Bismarck was the German leader. Six Prussian soldiers were billeted in their home for a long time. “We had to furnish their j food,” he said. He added that the ! people of his town used to go up in the mountains nearby at night and watch the flashes from the cannon explosions whffe Strassburg was being besieged, thirty miles away. Mr. Schactel came here as a boy and went to work for Robert Ingall and Henry Renick and others. His brother Joe was already here, working for Joe Friend. Mr. Schachtel recalled the many industries in Greencastle in that day. Among them, of course, was the old rolling mill. He said one of the men was a huge Prussian and they called him “The Prussian Horse” or sometimes just “The Great”. He once went over to Harris & Busick’s flour mill, picked up two barrels of flour, one under each arm, and carried them over to Leuteke's bakery, for the baker. Mr. Shachtel remembers when the Lucas land, south of the Pennsylvania railroad and east of Maple Heights, was covered with a dense growth of oak woods, where men and boys used to gathej- acorns to fatten their hogs. first murder recalled

He loaded his rifle and left. He went to Ambrose Bandy’s house first, having announced a list of seven persons in the neighborhood whom he meant to destroy, and Bandy was on that list. But Bandy hid behind a tree until Robinson went away. Kilgore also hid and escaped. Robinson found John Macy (also on the list) working with his son James, and that assured Macy’s safety. “But Thomas James he found alone in the forest hewing puncheons for a house on his own land. He was bowed over his task, unaware of any danger, when suddenly he felt a stinging wound in his side, from a bullet fired by Robinson from his rifle, he having skulked from tree to tree toward James until within fifty feet. The ball passed through James’ left arm. and through his body from side to side. “Janies straightened up, saw his assassin with smoke rising from his gun s muzzle. He ran with the speed of a stricken deer the two hundred yards to his cabin home, and bounded into the midst of his family, with blood spurting from the wound in his side. Doctor Lowe was secured from Greencastle, and treated the victim, but blood poisoning developed and 28 days later James died. After th# killing Robinson
