meeting of associates of the early 60's
took place in this city yesterday.
. J. A. Walters, a . well to do. farmer
of the Farmington, Wash.,' section
is visiting the city for a few days
and it so happened that "Abe" Eaton
the wealthy land owner of Union coun
ty, dropped in oh a brief business visit
neither knowing of the other's pres?
ence. They ran into each other and
Mr. Walters recognized his old time
friend, whom he had not seen since
1869. He stopped Mr. Eaton on the
street and mutual identification re
sulted. !
In 1864 Mr. Walters, then 21 years
of age, arrived in La Grande; having
just crossed the plains from Illinois.
Mr. Eaton was freighting from The
Dalles, Umatilla and Walla Walla tq
Auburn, this county, and Bannock
Idaho. Mr. Walters entered his em
ploy and for two or three years he
pulled a jerk line over a ten-horse
team.
Mr. Walters tells on one occasion
of bringing a three gallon quicksil- j
ver tank filled with gold from Ban-1
nock to Mr Eaton at La Grande, the
tank being thrown into the bottom of i 3 jl
one of the freight wagons, no one J j
suspected such treasure being trans
ported in such a seeming careless way
When he safely turned the gold over to
Mr. Eaton he showed his appreciation
by handing Wsfters a gold brick of
the value of $100. -
Mr. Walters left Mr. Eaton's em
ploy in 1869, going to Pendleton and
later to Farmington, Washington, at
which place he has ever since resided
Mr. Eaton located at La' Grande and
later at Union and has long beeti
known as one of the wealthiest men in
Union county. . '
