EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, APRI L 12,1000.
Old Bill Hamilton.
Mr. A. C. Blum, of Emporium, Pa.,
writes as below regarding old Bill
Hamilton, a Western character who
may be called well known, but not
known as well as he should be, in view
j of his past eventful life,
j "For the last two or three years I
have closely scanned the pages of
; Forest and Stream, and whenever old
j timers were mentioned have looked for
Bill Hamilton's name, wondering
whether the old fellow were alive.
Finally, I have been more than reward
ed by seeing his name in the issue of
Fob. 10, as living in a cabin on the
Yellowstone under an American flag.
It must certainly feel queer to Bill to
[ live under a roof, he who always had a
tepee for a home. But the Yellowstone
Valley is a fitting place for him. He
certainly is one of the original settlers
of that region, for he traveled up and
down this sulphurous stream long be
fore the Botteler brothers established
their range near the Bozeman Pass,
and they were the first settlers of the
Yellowstone Valley, excepting Bill
Brown, John Dunn and a few more
boys, who used to 'grub stake' at Emi
grant Gulch every winter. After them,
Friedel, who kept a billiard room in
Bozeman, took up a range on the Yel
lowstone, and I think this was in 1870,
about the same time that Hugh Kirken
dall's teamsters were killed by the In
dians on the Yellowstone. Of course,
every one who was in Montana in the
early sixties remembers Hugh Kirkon
dall's mule outfit and Ca.pt. Wall and
, Broadhead's Diamond R. bull train.
"However, I am getting away from
my subject, thinking of the old days,
when there were neither railroads nor
fences nor Yellowstone Park guards;
where, in fact, the lake, the falls and
geysers were known to but few.
"I think the last time I met Bill
Hamilton was near the head of Clark's (
Fork, where ho had pitched his tepee
and was living a happy life, and 1 did
not think I should ever hear from
him twenty years afterward, for this
happened during the so-called Clark's
Fork stampede, when we camped near
one of the richest silver mines, and did 1
not know it, as we were looking for
placer mining and not for quartz.
"Will you kindly let me know
whether thi3 is the same Bill Hamilton?
The boys used to say he was a relation
to the "Dook" of the same name.
English he certainly was. A typical
mountaineer of the old school and a
squaw man. I think his squaw, or at J
least one of them, was a Piegan. His
territory was between Fort Benton and
the upper Yellowstone."
There is no doubt in tho world that
the old Bill Hamilton mentioned from !
time to time in the Forest amd Stream !
is no other than Mr. Blum's friend, and j
it is a good reflection that the paper I
has served so pleasant an office as i
bringing together two friends of the |
real old times At last accounts old >
Bill was living still at Columbus or
Stillwater, as it was formerly called, ;
righi on the banks of one of the most |
historic streams on earth— the Yellow- '
t-tone River.—-Forest and Stream.

Pleasant Visit.
Last Thursday evening District Dep- >
uty Grand Master E. \V. Gaskill, ac
companied by Past Grands C. Jay
Goodnough, Geo. Metzger, Jr., and 11.
• H. Mullin, visited Driftwood Odd Fel
lows for the purpose of installing the
officers. Tliey were greatly surprised
and royally entertained, finding the
fraternity located in ono of the best
furnished lodge rooms in this section of |
the State. The report shows that the !
lodge is rapidly forging to the front ]
and will soon be the strongest in the j
i county. After tho work had been com- j
pleterl an elegant banquet was spread j
and a jolly good time was tho result, i
The Driftwoodites know how to enter- i
tain their friends and always do it i
right.

A SUNDAY BLAZE.
Dr. R. P. Heilman's Residence Al
most Ruined.
Last Sunday morning about 11:30,
while a heavy wind was blowing from
the west, Dr. R. P. Heilman's residence
was discovered to be on fire, flames
suddenly bursting through the roof,
when the alarm was sounded. The
Hamilton and Mountaineer Hose Com
panies and Hook and Ladder Com
pany promptly responded and after a
desperate fight subdued the flames,
not however until the roof and second
floor was completely gutted. Most of
the furniture was removed, but in a
damaged condition.
The Dr. and family were attending
M E. Church at the time, leaving Miss
Kautz in charge of the house, who was
busily attending to her work. When
discovered the entire attic was in
flames and soon spread to the rooms
in the rear of the house. The origin
of the fire is a mystery there being no
fire in that part of the house.
Miss Elvia Whiting, who was board
ing with Dr. Heilman, lost part of her
clothing, while Miss Kautz lost her en
tire wardrobe, saving only the clothes
on her back—her room being com
pletely envelloped in flames when the
fire was discovered.
Our efficient fire department worked
with their usual vigor, realizing that
with the high wind blowing, other
property was in danger. The work of
our fire laddies was complimented by
strangers who witnessed their work.
Dr. Heilman's loss on residence and
furniture is estimated at §2,700 upon
which he carried an insurance of §2,000.
Invitation Party.
Invitations are being printed in the
PHKSS job room for an invitation party
at the opera house, Friday evening,
April 27th The music will bo furnish
ed by Ridgway Theatre Orchestra,
which will give a concert from 8:30 to
9:30. The party promises to be a pleas
ant affair.
Another Handsome Residence.
Mr. E. G. Coleman, secretary of
Climax Powder Company, who recent
ly purchased of the W. C. Clarkeestate
the old homestead, on west Fourth
street, has sold the dwelling to Harvey
Welsh, who will move the same to
Fifth street and remodel it for a resi
dence. Mr. Coleman will erect a
modern residence upon the lot as soon
as possible.
Bold Bruin.
Last Thursday morning about five
o'clock, a large black bear ventured
into town and boldly walked down
Chestnut street as far as Henry Edg
combs residence. J. T. Healy, en
gineer at Howard's mill, noticed the
tracts in the fresh enow as he came
down the hill going to his work. The
bold and hungry animal returned to
the mountain in safety. Fred Yentzer
says "that was too bad; tlie boys miss
ed some fun."
Masonic Home at Wiiliarusport.
William Howard, the wealthy Wil
| liaxnsport lumberman, has about closed
j a deal for the purchase of the Piper
I property, in the rear of the Masonic
I Temple. lie proposes to remodel the
! residence into a home foraged Masons
and to build an addition to the Masonic
Temple for the use of the Scottish
Rite Masons.
When all improvements have been
completed he will deliver a deed of
gift to the Masonic fraternity. The
property is opposite the proposed site
of the free library to be built, equipped
i and endowed by J. V. Brown.
I
Stricken With Paralysis.
Yesterday afternoon, H. R. Dodge,
j more commonly called "Bert," was
! stricken with paralysis while walking
l up Cherry street. Ha was assisted to
j Taggart's drug store and Dr. Smith
I called. His entire right side is effected,
i He rallied sufficiently to bo taken to
| his home on Four Mile. It is the opin
ion of theDr that he will recover. We
1 sincerely hope 80.
