TEST OF CONFIDENCE WITHSTOOD
The Indians disappeared in the forest. Hours were made long with anxiety.
Evening drew nigh, and in the distance appeared the chief with the daughter
tripping gaily by his side. The test of confidence had been imposed and
withstood, and from that day WHITE knew no friends more faithful than his red
brethren.
During the year 1780 a trading house was established near Waterloo by Captain
Horatio JONES. His son, energetic, bold and skillful with the rifle, joined the
regiment commanded by Colonel PIPER, as a fifer. A few months later he enlisted
in a company of riflemen known as the Bedford Rangers and commanded by Captain
BOYD of the United States Army. A few days later the command was ambushed, a
large number killed, and JONES attempted to escape. He was captured, marched for
two days without food, and forced to run the gauntlet, which he did
successfully.
He was adopted into an Indian family, and shared all the privileges of Indian
hospitality. He established a trading house within the borders of Seneca, later
removing to Geneva. He is said to have sold to John JACOB ASTOR his first lot of
furs. He was married in 1789, and removing from Geneva, was the first white man
to settle in the town of Leicester. He was the first white settler to raise
wheat west of the Genesee river. He was appointed Indian interpreter by
President WASHINGTON, a position he held until his death in 1836.
SOME EARLY SETTLERS
Job SMITH emigrated from Ulster county in 1877, and was the first settler
upon the Military Tract. He erected his cabin on the flats at Seneca Falls, now
covered with fifty feet of water of VanCleef Lake, near the later site of the
upper red mill owned by Colonel MYN?ERSE. He lived alone, trafficked somewhat
with the Indians, and was the owner of a yoke of oxen. A party of travelers,
passing up the river in 1789, was transported by him around the falls upon a
cart whose wheels were sawed entirely from logs. He married a Miss GORHAM at
Waterloo and returned to the flats.
Two Connecticut traders, bearing a pack of goods, visited the Canoga
reservation in 1785 and traded their merchandise for furs. James BENNETT, from
Northumberland county, reached the Seneca county border in 1789, and was (parts
cut out)
choosing a pleasant locality in the now village of Ovid, founded a claim upon
the place by right of tomahawk improvements. This consisted of building a pole
cabin thatched with bark, the deadening of timber in the vicinity, and the
clearing of a small patch of ground. Legally these acts had no force. But they
gave a patent to the claim. Unsatisfied with undisputed possession after
succeeding well. FAUSSETT sought out the owner of lot No. 88 and purchased two
separate parcels of ground of 200 acres each.
Among others who sought homes in southern Seneca during 1789 were the DUNLAP
brothers, Andrew and Wilson. With them came James WILSON. Arriving in May,
Andrew DUNLAP located upon Lot No. 8, in the town of Ovid. He is known as the
man whose plow turned the first furrow in breaking for cultivation the soil
between the lakes. It was in the latest days of the month that a half acre of
ground was tilled and the plot planted with potatoes brought by him for that
purpose from his former home on the Susquehanna. But a short time elapsed before
Mr. DUNLAP was enabled to make full payment for his lot, and he became the
possessor of a fine farm of 600 acres, the value of which was constantly
enhanced as time passed. He lived in comfort and independence in his latter
days.
Parties continued to arrive until in the spring of 1793 more than thirty
families were established in the southern part. Groups gathered at Seneca Falls
and Scauyase(?), and isolated families at distant points in other locations.
James McKNIGHT settled in Varick, David WISNER in Romulus, and Ezekial CRANE in
Tyre. There came Elijah KINNE, John SEELEY, Peter HUGHES, Nicholas and Richard
HUFF, James DeBOTT, Abraham W. COVERT and Tennis COVERT, the last settlers of
1794.
JEMIMA WILKINSON
About 1790 the settlers went to Newtown, now known as Elmira, forty miles
away, to buy groceries, seed and provisions. Feelings akin to pity and
astonishment would steal over those of to-day could they know the incidents of
those long and wearisome journeys through the woods on winding roads.
They were accustomed to take their grists in canoes and boats across Seneca
Lake to a mill near Penn Yan.
Among the strange character who made their appearance with early settlers was
a woman named Jemima WILKINSON, who rode in style through the streets of Geneva
in a coach on whose panels were the mystical characters, "C. F." which
translated meant, "universal friend." Some flocked to see her to
satisfy curiosity, while others became her followers. Among these latter was a
party of settlers that followed the road made by CLINTON from Connecticut and,
reaching Geneva, cut for themselves a road to Crooked Lake outlet, and
established the mill mentioned above.
Samuel BEAR, of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, was the first settler on the
south side of the river in what is now known as Scauyase. Here he established a
grist mill in 1794, upon the site of the present "White Mills,"
erected by the firm of Pierson, Becker and <snip> that’s all I got.

Babylon, L. I., N. Y., Jan. 29 - Coast guards from Fire Island and Oak Island
searched all to-day along the shores of Great South Bay and among the islets of
the bay for Edmund A. PEARSALL and Jerome B. JEROME, both of East Islip, who
started out duck shooting Saturday and failed to return.
All night bonfires blazed along the bay, kept burning by anxious friends of
the missing men in the hope they might find their way to the beacons, But in
view of the snow storm which hung all day over the bay, small hope was felt for
the pair when they had not been found to-night.
There are several cottages, used by hunters, scattered about the islands in
the bay and there was a faint hope left that PEARSALL and JEROME might have
found shelter from the storm in one of these.
The ice which covered the bay broke up in the high wind during the night and
friends and relatives of the missing men feared they had been drowned. They were
last seen late Saturday, traveling together in their "scooters," small
boats fitted with steel runners for crossing the ice.

GOMPERS ADMITS INJUNCTION AIDS CAUSE OF LABOR
Washington, Jan. 29 - "Labor has no objection to the writ of injunction
when properly used," said Samuel GOMPERS, president of the American
Federation of Labor, commenting in the American Federation on the recent
injunction granted by Justice WAGNER in New York restraining employers in the
garment workers’ strike.
The WAGNER injunction, Mr. GOMPERS declared, related to violation of contract
by employers and was "nothing remarkable" even though it did favor the
workers.
"It is when the injunction commands the doing of things which workers
have a lawful right not to do, or when the injunction forbids the doing of
things which the workers have a lawful right to do that labor protests."
Mr. GOMPERS continued.

MATRIMONIAL VENTURES CAUSE ARREST OF MAN MARRIED HERE IN NOV.
While alleged matrimonial ventures of Joseph G. BROWN, 24, of Palm street are being investigated by the police
he is being held at police headquarters on a charge of vagrancy, but a more serious charge is likely to be made
at the conclusion of the investigation. He was arrested this morning by Acting Detective LAMBIASE.
It was learned that on November 28 of last year he was married to Miss Catherine O'FLANAGAN of 159 Driving Park
avenue by the Rev. S. J. CLARKSON of Monroe Avenue Methodist Church. They lived together here happily until word
reached the bride that he had another wife.
When BROWN was asked as to the matter he said to have answered that he did have another one, but that a divorce
was obtained in Pennsylvania. Then information came that the supposed first wife is living with their child in
Batavia.
Having obtained her address in that place, Captain McDONALD called up and was informed by the first wife, who is
now living at 112 Harvest street, Batavia, that she was married to BROWN on August 26, 1914. Prior to her marriage
she was Bertha May HUTTON.
Asked as to the supposed divorce obtained in Pennsylvania, Mrs. BROWN Number 1 states that she had never heard
of it, and it is not believed that any divorce could have been secured without her knowledge. After the receipt
of this word it was decided to hold BROWN on the vagrancy charge.
It was said that he left wife Number 1 about a year ago and his whereabouts had been unknown to her.

WIEDMAN and CHRISTIE on a charge of rape, first degree. The complaintant is a 14-year-old girl.
Information obtained by the detective from Easton, PA., where SCARPINO lived for some time, following his migration
from Italy, is to the effect that he married a cousin in that city in February, 1918. He deserted the girl in August
of that year, and she has since been forced to care for herself. Inasmuch as she did not know of his whereabouts,
she was about to sue for a divorce.
