If f ;? v B. G. HARRIS, above, mimbii of last Fort Klamath troop, remtmbers Llnkvllle in its early days. He's shown with Mrs. Harris. A SILVER . HAIRED little "vn.mn" man . , In IK. Unll hotel this week and with a needle-sharp mtfmory picked up the thread of a 55-year-old ex perience. The little "young" man was S. G. Harris of Oakland, Calif., and the experience was that of being a mombor of the last troop of U. S. soldiors stationed at Fort Klamath in the year 1U80. The slight little live-foot-four- inch gentleman was about to make his first trip to the old fort since he rode away with the Second U. S. Cavalry In that year and left the Wood River valley in the hands of a few early settlers. And he was busy with his recollections. There was Captain Jack. Bogus Charley, John Schonchtn and another Indian over whose graves he stood guard . . . They had been hanged a few years before for instigating the Canby massacre. There was that pony race in 1883 which ended the argument between Jack Marr and the In dian as to whom had the best poney ... Marr's horse, with Harris on deck, settled that one. There were the troops, ono of infantry, one of cavalry, which comprised the last de tachment stationed at Fort Klamath from 1884 to 1886. There was Curly Webb, stage driver who made a daily trip from Llnkvllle to Fort Klam ath. There was the long voyage from Kent county, England, where Harris was born . New York, where he disembark ed and immediately Joined the army at the age of 20 . . . Mon tana, his first post . . . the long march to Fort Klamath and the next one from Fort Klamath to Fort Bid well In 1886 . . . the subsequent honorable discharge . . . and the long business years since, ending with his retire ment to Oakland 20 years ago. There were probably other recollections to the spry little gentleman as he sat beside his wife in the hotel lobby. But there was the present and fu ture, too. The prospect of an imminent reunion with over 60 members of his family in Sur prise Valley, Calif and congratulations on his brother's 90th wedding anniversary. And then home again to Oak land and back to those regular afternoon bowling sessions on the green lawn of Lakeside park. There would be several weeks of practice yet before his teom would be ready to make that annual Jaunt to Pasadena and the yearly competition with the rose city bowlers. S. G. Harris, the little "young" man, had picked up the thread, and he was satisfied, The' Thimble club of the Neighbors of Woodcraft will meet Tuesday afternoon, June the twenty-fourth, at the home of Mrs. Ellen Ely on Nevada street at two o'clock.
