After lunch with Mrs. Davis, Norman E. Davis, and Ar- thur Bullard, the candidate spent an hour pushing the medicine ball around on the spacious lawn of his home and then went for a swim with Mrs, Davis. The candidate let it be known that having achieved physi- cal fitness in the Maine wocds he intends to keep himself in robust health by recreation so that when his campaign opens he will be ready. Beyond perfecting his campaign, he ill not be very active politically. The outcome of the meeting is await- ed with considerable interest as there is doubt in many political minds-that- Davis will be able to convince Smith he ought td be: come a candidate for governor of Now York again.

In the nirht—a wast black night sprinkled with stars—the guards ride slowly back and forth, peering keenly, listening anxiously so that none of the enemy may steal upon their clustered wagons to attack their friends and kinfolk. But one whoth they cannot detect—how ever sharp their watching and listen ing—creeps stehlthily through the cordon and snatches that life which has been despaired of. In the early dawn, before the great red sun edges up into the sky from the east, the pilgrims with silent tears break the virgin sod and with tender hands give the_ last earthly and earthy cover to the de- parted one of their group. Sadly the little families make ready to re- sume their journey to the land of promise, an white they do two men earnestly carve iz crude fashion on @ sandstone marker the name and the date of death of the person who has left them Is this the story of A. H. Unthank who died July 2, 1850, and was bur- led five miles east of Glenrock near to where the Yellowstone highway at present has its route? Was he—that pioneer of 74 years ago—a man or a mcre lad; How did he come to his death? With whom was he traveling when the end of life overtook him? To what eof peace and plenty ¥n the glorious new country west, was he bound, These and other questions are now the concern of Charles B., Staf- ford who but recently has made a ‘re-discovery" of the old grave. A son of Mr. Sprague, of the con- struction firm of Sprague and Nise- ly which has for years been promi- nent in pioneer enterprises in this state, once told Sam Conwell that in 1886 when the Chicago and Northwestern railroad was extend. ing its line from Douglas to Casper, he found the grave. Later he took Mr. Conwell, who is himself a Wyoming pioneer and prominent here and throughout the state, to the place of the burial spot. From Mr. Conwell Mr. Stafford obtained information which led him to the grave. It is now'\the pur- pose of the chamber of commerce secretary to search out the history of Unthank, of his coming to this state, of the events surrounding his trip and his death. At this time he is conducting his investigations by cgtrespondence with people in Wayne county, Ind., where Unthank originated, according to the head. stone of his grave. There seems to be an impression that several years ago a story was written locally, telling in some de- tail of the Unthank grave. How- ever no one has thus far been able to trace the article and if there are any who remember it and the ap- proximate time of its appearance, they may be of assistance to Mr. Stafford by informing him. Not so long ago the Casper Lions club took special action in regard to the Unthank grave, appointing a committee to advise means of pre- serving it. By report this commit- tee recommended the placing of a replica headstone—one of marble in- stead of sandstone—bearing an in- scription identical with the original. It is believed that definite plans will be arrived at by the club in this regard. Not only does the marker show the inscription seen in the above picture, but below the distinct writ ing are several words faintly scratched, as if with a nall at per- haps a later date than the placing of the stone. The words are “At Rest” and “Bud.” Mr. Stafford is of the opinion that a relative, coming along sometime after the death of Unthank, had with a nall or other slight and unsuitable tool, inscribed the final touch by way of formal, yet personal recognition of a departed kinsman. It is improbable that many Cas- or three-quarters per people have ever noticed the grave which stands alone in the olitude of prairie sses, tended (Continued from Page One.) Neq to Hill as we'!.

Almost exactly five miles east of Glenrock, as one travels on the Yel- lowstone highway, the Unthank grave with its sandstone head and foot stones may be found. Dating back to 1850 when the westward rush of immigrants on the nearby Oregon Trail was at its peak, the grave is among the oldest marked graves in Wyoming. To stand before it, is to step back in history and conjure up that mighty surge of early settlers to this new empire, to recall their hardships, to witness their struggles, to behold their hardy and intrepid advances against immense odds.

The flight commander told of the airmén’s experiences. “We were about 25 miles out of Houton Bay," he said, “and tear- ing toward Iceland at an altitude of 3,000 feet when we ran into a Breat fog bank. Nelson was at my left and I signalled to both him’ and Wade to try to gain clear weather by descending. A minute later Nel- son disappeared. That was the last we saw of him, Wade and I circled about for five minutes, the fog getting thicker and thicker. There was nothing to do but return while the weather still was clear over Houton Bay, so I signalled Wade and back we came.” Meantime the radio was busy warning ships along the route to be ‘on the lookout for Nelson. The Bil lingsley lying off’the Faroe Island was the first to pick him up. “Nelson and Harding sighted off Faroes at 12 p. m,, Greenwich, meantime flying ahead; weather clear and favorable," the destroyer radioed at 1:30 o'clock, Meanttme, the Kirkwall land ra- dio station had picked up a mes- sage indicating Nelson was re- turnring to the Orkneys.
