Syracuse 70 Years floo P. M. Henkel Writes Goshen Paper of a Fishing Trip That He and Benton Men Made to Wawasee Lake Under the Guidance of Mr. Conklin.

Os the time of which I shall write, 70 years ago, where the beautiful town of Syracuse is now located, the place was deserving of little more than a name. A small mill was erected at the outlet of the lake which forms Turkey creek. Here and there a small wooden building constituted what was then known as the village of Syracuse, including the residence of the Conklins which was located on the bank of the lake. Many relics of a former race who inhabited this country were still visible. Especially was this the case on Indian bill where the dusky maidens of long ago erected their tepees, and patiently awaited the return of their lovers with fish and game and no doubt with heart emotion in no way dissimilar to that of the superior race. A small remnant of our celebrated Miami Indians, who held special reservation, still made occasional visits to these beautiful lakes. It was thus that a Benack Peaspway and a Lafountain and a few others of the tribe came to view and bid a long and melancholy farewell to the scenes that once afforded them so much pleasure. But these, too, have now all gone, and not a single red man is left. v'-'Butbow to my first visit. A party of friends at Benton requested me to precede them and make arrangements for a day’s fishing on the big lake. (On the day before I called at the hdfne - of Mr. Conklin for the purpose of engaging his services for the next dajJ The old gentleman was not at home, but when I made my wishes known his good old wife declared her husband would be only too glad to pilot a party of gentlemen on an excursion of that kind. The old lady I found brimful of talk and to relieve herself she insisted upon giving me a full history of herself. She claimed she had a sister living in Cincinnati who was extremely wealthy and dressed herself in silk every day. Her sister invited her to come and live with her, but this she declined, not being willing to leave her husband. She also claimed to be the sister of James Buchaaan of Pennsylvania. It was this claim that first aroused my suspicion that the old lady was somewhat off her base, which she certainly was. I declined even an intimation that I had a doubt as to the truth of her statements and left her in the full belief they were true On the return dTftfr. Conklin he gave me a hearty welcome'ahd insisted on my spending the night with him and be ready for the next day. /He and his old wife occupied a bed in one corner of the room, while I rested on a bunk within hearing of the flow of his conversation, the theme of which was a history of his early life, and from it I learned that he had been afloat on the high seas as a salt water tar for many years. During the war of 1812 he participated in quite a number of naval engagements but invariably escaped being wounded. On going to sleep I left.him in full converse, and upon awakening in the morning I found him still talking. There were no facilities for abjution and so for the benefit of a little bath I retired to the lake where I found a plank extending out into the lake enabling me to do a little bathing. On my return to the house I found the old lady had prepared the morning repast and both were sitting in a rather reverential attitude which caused me to suspect that blessing was about to be asked. The old man dropped his head and a more appropriately worded petition and thanks for favors I never beard fall from the lips of any man. This however, was in severe contrast with hfs former language which was invariably more expressive than e’egant and anything but suitable to be delivered before a Sunday school class. In due time the party from Benton arrived and were quickly supplied with all the accoutrements for the day’s sport. were immediately sent up to Wawasee lake, then called Cedar lake, where the day was most happily spent and an abundant supply of fish obtained. These lakes and the surrounding country was truly a paradise for the disciples of nimrod, and Sir Isaac Walton, for no other county could

supply a greater amount of game and fish. The writer, when in the prime of manhood years ago, was in the habit of annually visiting these beautiful lakes for the purpose of duck shooting. On such occasions he was in the habit of dropping a small net into the lake to secure a few fish for his own use. This however was objected to, and I was informed by Justice Evan Miles that 1 must desist from so doing. As there was no law prohibiting net fishing, bv mutual consent of all the citizens, that system of fishing was to be prohibited. I told the gentleman that I was in no way disposed to violate the wishes of the people and would obev, but that there was another practice of destroying fish that was a thousand times worse than netting, and that was by spear ing the fish off their beds while spawning. He told me that he and his brother, Preston, were in the habit of visiting the marshes during spawning season and spearing the fish from off their nest. I told him that every fish they thus disturbed while guarding its spawn they des troyed more fish than if I left my net in the lake the whole year around and that if persisted in would soon deplete these beautiful waters of their choice food fish. I also told the old squire that mode of fishing contained about as much wisdom ■as the man who insisted in cutting down his hickory trees to gather the nuts and if persisted in there would soon be neither fish to spear nor nuts to crack. Tb make amends for this wanton destruction of food fish the state has now passed laws prohibiting this mode of destruction and substituted that of artificial hatch eries to replenish the waters of the state. George Miles, a son of Evan Miles of Syracuse, was duly appoined game and fish commissioner of the state of Indiana and is filling the position with credit to himself and to the state. P. M. Henkel.

Need Patrol Wagon The local police force were rather busy Friday and Saturday settling disagreements in our foriegn colony. Joe Gotio caused the arrest of Mike Acseuta and as a consequence Mike transfered $9.15 from his postal savings deposit to the Justice. John Vego, a friend of Mike, had Joe Votio brought into court and releived Joe’s pockts of the weight of $8.05. A woman was the cause of the trouble. It would be well to favor the iorce with a patrol wagon as it is bad walking. bROCERMAN iACES SERIOUS CHARGE David Dewart Claims To Have Been Murderously Assaulted By James Searfoss An affidavit has beta sworn out by David Dewart agaist James Searfoss charging him with assault with intent to commit murder. The affidavit was mailed to Warsaw as a case of this nature could not be tried in a Justice court. As is usual, there are two sides to the story, but the account we have is as follows: James Searfoss called David (“Bully”) Dewart into the Searfoss Bros, grocery store Saturday afternoon, and asked about an account that Dewart owed the firm Dewart answered that the delivery horse belonging to the grocery had chewed a cherry tree belonging to him so that it died and demanded that the value of the tree be deducted from the bill. Heated words followed and Searloss knocked Dewart down. The latter then grabbed a hammer out of Searfoss’s hands and struck him over the head. At this juncture Lonnie Searfoss, who was standing neafc, feared that his brother was going to be seriously injured and wrenched the hammer from Dewart’s grip and struck Dewart over the head. The latter then made a hurried exit from the store and was patched up by a physician. The charge is a very serious one and is punishable by imprisonment. from two to fourteen years but whether the evidence will substantiate this charge is open to doubt. Test Case Martin McClintic, of Syracuse, has filed suit in the Kosciusko circuit court against Harry L. Knox, also of Syracuse. The suit is based upon an act passed by the last legislature providing that in cases where employers fail to pay employes money, when due, the employer shall be made to pay $2.00 extra a day for each day that shall have elapsed from the time payment was due until the debt is canceled. According to complaint Knox failed to pay McCliiitic $24.80 for services and the latter asks for settlement in the sum of $334.24, which includes the $2 extra from the first of December- This is the first case of the kind in the Kosciusko court and is of especial interest. McClintic was employed by Knox to do lathing and plastering and charged $44.80. Twenty dollars of this amount was paid.—JournalGazette. * Violates Federal Law The. first arrest in Indiana for violation of the new federal law protecting migratory water fowl has been made at Gary.
