One time a letter came telling of a misfortune that happened him at night when on guard duty. He could hear sounas inai m.a nun dians were going to give trouble sounds that made him believe tne in tt would work all right and in some way it was accidentally discharged, the bullet tearing through his hand and making an ugly wound "My father was said to be of a nervous temneranient, easily un strung by an injury of this kind, bo tt was explained in a letter that next 1 morning he was so weak irt that he considered himself unfit 1 unaer aae ine uay n.a ren; Here BOmething el I cant Imagine how his comrades ign heIrloom but not from my fathw a.ve.uth0 hea.rt 10 iT.IThis little silver spoon was left by thing, but they wen on and left him creat grandmother.

His newly adopted friends were indignant at the heart less manner in which he had beeu left by the other company and one oi his letters told how the second company, after reaching the diggings in California, the first squad to; chip Ja and contribute enough funds to set him up in business, fcr he was crippled in the hand and not able to hold his own with the others. "Besides filing a claim in the gold fields, At seems my father also engaged vn the hotel business In San Francisco. Years passed by and according to letters received, his business prospered and his claim developed into one of value. He sent the papers showing his claims and these my mother kept for years. In one letter he stated that hla hotel was full all the time and making him money.

At the same time he referred to ills mining property aa showing up finely. 1 "In the meantime Samuel Woods, a of my mother, went out from Indiana, and became interested in my father's claim, but Just what way or under what terms and conditions I do not know. Finally a letter came from my father saying that he was ready to retire and wa going to sell everything he owned. He would go out to his claim quite soon and dispose of it. When all was cashed in, he would return home and take life eaBy the remainder of his days.

"But he' never came. Word finally reached us thafhe died but that was all could find out. Anyhow destb mast bave given opportunity for others to step in and take possesion of his property. After 'a long ilrae had elapsed my mother's brother, in Fulton county, accompanied by a lawyer, went out to California to make investigations, but there wa never any accounting shown us, so we did not find out anything in regard to just what my father left in the way of an estate. My mother was dead and all my sister and I ever received was a hundred dollars each The men who' went out to look up matters said they got their pay, but that's as much as we could find out." Thus ended the story of Mrs.

Fisher's remembrance of her father's adventure in the Golden West, beginning in the '40'a when Ssn Francisco was a village. Just what George Rlc'j ardson acquired in the way of wealth could hardly be cleared up at this late day. To an outsider would appear that somebody may have stepped in and confiscated the property, so covering up titles by war of fab entries and crooked work that little have beea left for the rightful Stirs.

In' the early mining days there was much intrigue and foul play. The story ol such hardship in reaching the cldo rado, the struggle to make good, the apparent success as indicated by letters to his family, the mystery and disappointment to the deserving daughters of the decedent, all unite to form a thread of facts pathetic, strange and interesting. I asked Mrs. Fisher If she could show me a keepsake of any kind that came from her father. Her countenance brightened.

She called to her daughter in another room to bring in something that would be the answei question. The daughter placuo befoe me a chlld.B rockinK "That's seventy seven years old," Mrs. Fisher said.

His name was John Bowman. He was a German Baptist minister, be loved by everybody who knew him. he was a saint if ever there was one on earm.

He was Kina ana loving, at home and to everybody else. No night was too dark or stormy ro him to go and sit up with the sick. He and his wife had plenty of children to take care of, tor he was married twice and there were several sets of children, but he pitied us and told my mother to bring her children anJ come to their house, that we would be well cared for. We did so and it always remained our home. "I remember one night when Grandpa Bowman went to sit up with a sick man by the name of WIckoff.

I went along for company. The man was very low and seemed to be near ing the end. He was perfectly rational and said: 'John, before I die, there Is something I would like to ask you. Wheu I am gone, will you take care of little Sammy and see that he la brought np right? "For a moment grandpa did not answer. He seemed to be thinking.

Then holding the sick man's hand he said: 'Yes, I'll take him myself and see that he Is well cared for. Littl; Sammy shall not be tnrned out homeless as long as I am "'Thank whispered the dying man. Then he added: 'I know you'll do Just what you promise to do John, and I can die "And little Sammy Wickoff was added to the Bowman family aad treated exactly the same aa one of'thc family." 1 Recently these old time stories have been clustering around Monument City and I was surprised whilu talking with Mrs. Fisher, of this city, to learn that her home, for a numbev of years, was near the village Just named. Elder Bowman and his large flock, which included Mrs.

Richardson and daughters, migrated from Henry county and located on a tract of land now owned by Ben Helney. "We came in three or four covered wagons." stated Mrs. Fisher, "and were a whole week on the road. lit.

After returning home he said they would have a picture taken, which was the tintype above 'referred to. When the time was at hand for, his departure, his house was in order and he was to step into the great' hereafter.
