O. Smith Motor Sale*. In an interview held with Mr. N. A. Beardsley, Branch Manager of the Willys-Overland Co., who visited Rome today, after a conference with Mr. C. O. Smith, dealer In Overland and Willys Knight automobiles, and some of his business friends, he re- ports that the trouble which was ru- mored has been entirely adjusted to the entire satisfaction of all con- cerned, and that C. G. Smith will continue to handle the line and is in a position to sell and deliver at once new Overland and Willys-Knight auto- mobiles.

Dramatically and severely, Oswald P. Backus, Attorney, who has traced Rome history from sources unknown to his predecessors and uuminded by his contemporaries, presented inci- dents connected with Fort Stanwix and the /Mage of Rome, In a dis- course which-for Interest and authen- ticity excelled most addresses and equaled the best Introduced by C. J. Aldrldge to Rotary, he spoke this noon in the Rome Club. Mr. Backus continued the subject begun last fall, when he first ad- dressed Rotarians. In a narrative filled with points well worth recording, his account of the scalping of Captain Gregg was prom- inent | Capt James Gregg, disobeying or- ders of Colonel Gansevoort, went out from Fort Stanwix in 1777 to hunt pigeons. With him went Corporal Madison. As they walked beyond Fort Newport (near the old bath tub works) toward Fort Bull, a shot from the forest struck Corporal Madison. He dropped dead. Another shot caught Captain Gregg ih the side. The captain, unable to defend himself, lay still on the ground in feint of ^leath. One lavage, appearing, scalped the dead corporal. Captain Gregg held himself Immovable while the other savage encircled his scalp with a knife and ripped it off with his teeth! « When the savage* had gone, said Mr. Backus, Captain Gregg dragged himself to his departed companion and gained some respite from pain by pressing hi* head against the man's body. Soon, however, his pet dog, barking and rushing around him, dis- tracted him until he begged the ani- mal, If anything was to be done for him, to go to Fort Stanwix for aid. The dog, .at that, made off and after exerting such persuasion as he could up on two soldiers, who had been fishing, to follow, returned with them to his master. They carried the captain to the fort Under treatment there and In Albany he recovered. In 1880 he was to be assigned again to Fort Stanwix for duty.' Also of particular Interest was the story of Robert Wilson, who was 2? years old when the Revolutionary War broke out. A nephew of Captain Gregg, he. would have. accompanied him on the hunting expedition if his uncle had allowed. At 14, still in Fort Stanwix, he, was a member of the group which* saluted the first Ameri- can flag unfurled in battle. He it was too, who received the standards from 12 Hessian officers and six British of- ficers when Cornwailis surrendered at Yorktown. Mr. Backus referred to the early commercial life of Rome. George Hun- tington, he said was the first man to engage in business here. Coming into the wilderness from the luxury and culture of a splendid New England home, he observed the Scriptural ad- monition: "It is well for a man that he bear the yoke In hi* youth." But particularly Mr. Backus spoke of the hotels flourishing here in the early part of the last century. They were four, "The" hotel, where the American block stands today; the Coffee House, across the way on Dom- inlck street; Dr. Stephen White's hotel, Just west of "The" hotel; and Cicero Gould's hotel, on the site of the present Empire House. Many of the speaker's listeners bad not known that Dominlck Lynch, or- iginal lease holder of all of the land on which Rome was destined to be built, intended East Park and West Park for a public square, xm Court House and the high School building are located as he visioned them but little of the idea of a public square persisted later than 1860. H. D. Mellon of Rochester, father of Dr. Dan Mellon, was a guest^ REGULAR MEETING OF COPPER CITY CLUB Tribute Paid to President's Father—To Play Ball*Game With Herkimer Nine. = SIX CENT YERDIGT [LAST RITES HELD FOR At the regular meeting of the Cop- per City Club, held Wednesday eve- ning, expressions of sympathy were manifested by the members over the death of Ei B. Kent, father of Gordon E. Kent, president of the club. At the close of the meeting the members marched to the Kent home and viewed the remains. Thb approach of the summer season sets the members "jest a itchin" for outdoor meetings and baseball game?. During the past two years this team has been quite successful in baseball. An invitation for a ball game with the Herkimer Exchange Club waa ex- tended through Professor Charles T. Lanigan of this city, director of the playfields of Herkimer. A commit- tee composed of Professor Lanigan, Alfred Ketchham and Dr. H. D. Mac- Farland was appointed to form a base- ball team and also" look up a suitable place to hold summer meetings away from the city where ball games and other out-of-door games could be en- joyed. The committee will make ar- rangements for a Joint meeting be- tween the Rome and Herkimer clubs. William P. Juergens gave a talk on watch building. He had several watches and parts, which he dis- played. He ehowed how the watches were constructed and explained what part each gear, pinion, staff or jewel took in the running equipment of the timepiece. There was a discussion on auto traf- fic rules. B. M. Rich presented a set of rules which he said would ap- ply to any city in this country. The rules were read, and it was found that many of them are Incorporated in the new automobile legislation just adopted at Albany. They were re- ferred to a committee composed ot W. G. Levison, James T. Cross, Edward Hubbard and Charles Williams. Extra Special. De Forests D-10 3adio Set, with four tubes, at $100. Positively three days only. Former price $176.

One was a military appointment made by Governor William H. Seward. This reads as follows:

It is no longer necessary to listen to general gossip and rumor in re­gard to discontinuing the automobile business of C. O. Smith Motor Sale*. In an interview held with Mr. N. A. Beardsley, Branch Manager of the Willys-Overland Co., who visited Rome today, after a conference with Mr. C. O. Smith, dealer In Overland and Willys Knight automobiles, and some of his business friends, he re­ports that the trouble which was ru­mored has been entirely adjusted to the entire satisfaction of all con­cerned, and that C. G. Smith will continue to handle the line and is in a position to sell and deliver at once new Overland and Willys-Knight auto­mobiles.

Dramatically and severely, Oswald P. Backus, Attorney, who has traced Rome history from sources unknown to his predecessors and uuminded by his contemporaries, presented inci­dents connected with Fort Stanwix and the /Mage of Rome, In a dis­course which-for Interest and authen­ticity excelled most addresses and equaled the best Introduced by C. J. Aldrldge to Rotary, he spoke this noon in the Rome Club.

Mr. Backus continued the subject begun last fall, when he first ad­dressed Rotarians.

In a narrative filled with points well worth recording, his account of the scalping of Captain Gregg was prom­inent |

Capt James Gregg, disobeying or­ders of Colonel Gansevoort, went out from Fort Stanwix in 1777 to hunt pigeons. With him went Corporal Madison. As they walked beyond Fort Newport (near the old bath tub works) toward Fort Bull, a shot from the forest struck Corporal Madison. He dropped dead. Another shot caught Captain Gregg ih the side. The captain, unable to defend himself, lay still on the ground in feint of ^leath. One lavage, appearing, scalped the dead corporal. Captain Gregg held himself Immovable while the other savage encircled his scalp with a knife and ripped it off with his teeth! «

When the savage* had gone, said Mr. Backus, Captain Gregg dragged himself to his departed companion and gained some respite from pain by pressing hi* head against the man's body. Soon, however, his pet dog, barking and rushing around him, dis­tracted him until he begged the ani­mal, If anything was to be done for him, to go to Fort Stanwix for aid.

The dog, .at that, made off and after exerting such persuasion as he could up on two soldiers, who had been fishing, to follow, returned with them to his master. They carried the captain to the fort Under treatment there and In Albany he recovered. In 1880 he was to be assigned again to Fort Stanwix for duty.'

Also of particular Interest was the story of Robert Wilson, who was 2? years old when the Revolutionary War broke out. A nephew of Captain Gregg, he. would have. accompanied him on the hunting expedition if his uncle had allowed. At 14, still in Fort Stanwix, he, was a member of the group which* saluted the first Ameri­can flag unfurled in battle. He it was too, who received the standards from 12 Hessian officers and six British of­ficers when Cornwailis surrendered at Yorktown.

Mr. Backus referred to the early commercial life of Rome. George Hun­tington, he said was the first man to engage in business here. Coming into the wilderness from the luxury and culture of a splendid New England home, he observed the Scriptural ad­monition: "It is well for a man that he bear the yoke In hi* youth."

But particularly Mr. Backus spoke of the hotels flourishing here in the early part of the last century. They were four, "The" hotel, where the American block stands today; the Coffee House, across the way on Dom­inlck street; Dr. Stephen White's hotel, Just west of "The" hotel; and Cicero Gould's hotel, on the site of the present Empire House.

Many of the speaker's listeners bad not known that Dominlck Lynch, or­iginal lease holder of all of the land on which Rome was destined to be built, intended East Park and West Park for a public square, xm Court House and the high School building are located as he visioned them but little of the idea of a public square persisted later than 1860.

At the regular meeting of the Cop­per City Club, held Wednesday eve­ning, expressions of sympathy were manifested by the members over the death of Ei B. Kent, father of Gordon E. Kent, president of the club. At the close of the meeting the members marched to the Kent home and viewed the remains.

Thb approach of the summer season sets the members "jest a itchin" for outdoor meetings and baseball game?. During the past two years this team has been quite successful in baseball. An invitation for a ball game with the Herkimer Exchange Club waa ex­tended through Professor Charles T. Lanigan of this city, director of the playfields of Herkimer. A commit­tee composed of Professor Lanigan, Alfred Ketchham and Dr. H. D. Mac-Farland was appointed to form a base­ball team and also" look up a suitable place to hold summer meetings away from the city where ball games and other out-of-door games could be en­joyed. The committee will make ar­rangements for a Joint meeting be­tween the Rome and Herkimer clubs.

William P. Juergens gave a talk on watch building. He had several watches and parts, which he dis­played. He ehowed how the watches were constructed and explained what part each gear, pinion, staff or jewel took in the running equipment of the timepiece.

There was a discussion on auto traf­fic rules. B. M. Rich presented a set of rules which he said would ap­ply to any city in this country. The rules were read, and it was found that many of them are Incorporated in the new automobile legislation just adopted at Albany. They were re­ferred to a committee composed ot W. G. Levison, James T. Cross, Edward Hubbard and Charles Williams.
