souri, built an old fashlonvd mill on
the Peno river. Many years ago the

dians who had tattled with whites
there because the daughter of an In
dian chief rn-n away with a paleface.
Last sumtner a descendant of Pio
neer Matson and a number of Mr.
Clark's coustitueut in Ralls county

by a pair of Missouri mules, drew
from the sand aud water the apron log
of the now useless mill dam. The
gavel was cut from it brightly var
nished and se'nt on to Washington.

scription :
"Made from tbe apron log of tie
first mill built north of the Missouri
