• Notes

  Veteran of Two Revolutions Dead After serving valiantly in two revolutions and being exiled from his native land, "William Heinhold died in this city yesterday at the age of 81 years. The deceased was the father of Charles Heinhold, metallurgist at the Annie Laurie mine at Kimberly, Utah, and of Mrs. Charles Crane, 929 East Brigham street. "Grandpa" Heinhold, as he was affectionately called by those who knew him, was born in Germany in 1823. When quite a young man he took a prominent part in a German revolution and fought side by side with General Franz Sigel and Carl Schurz. The cause that Heinhold espoused was eventually lost and he was exiled from Germany for the part he had taken in the revolution. He left his native land and went to France, where he soon afterwards engaged in another revolution. He took an active part in the Commune and at one time was dangerously wounded. He afterwards went to Canada and resided there until a few years ago, when he came to Utah to visit his children, and has resided here since that time. Funeral services over the remains will be held from his late residence, 508 South State street, at 2 p.m. Friday.

The Intermountain Catholic January 16, 1904 Page 8 ___________ Negley Tells of Dogs' Jaunt Across Country Deerhounds Lost In Texas Show Up At Home In Ontario In Time for Regular Fall Hunting Exposition. By ALBERT PAYSON TERRHUNE. OLD MAN NEGLEY sat reading a letter, his withered face alight with keen Interest. He was perched on a wheelbarrow in which he had been transplanting some geraniums for Mrs. Kayne on Vine Street. Now at noon hour, having finished his lunch, he pulled out his letter and began to reread it. From its crumpled aspect it had been read more than once before. Thus Mrs. Kayne found him on her way in to her own luncheon. Noting his absorption in the letter she paused, in curiosity, and asked: "Have you gotten word that you are the missing heir, or only that all Is discovered and that you must flee?" The old man glanced up, smiling, from the perusal in no way offended by her tone. 'Neither. Ma'am," he made answer. "But I was enjoying it, for all that. It's from a gentleman I used to work for up In Toronto. Every now and then he writes to me when he chances to hear or to remember some good dog story that is true. He knows how daft I am about true dog stories. This is one of them. Like to hear It?" Ardent Deer Hunter. She nodded amusedly and the old man cleared his throat; then began to read: "Dear Negley: Here Is a dog yarn I don't think I ever told you. It can be proven true, by several people. But nobody seems to be able to give an explanation of it. In 1897 or 1898 or thereabouts, I lived at Galt, Ontario. Near me lived a furrier, named Heinhold. He was an ardent deer hunter. Every fall he would go out with his two dogs after deer, In the Northern Ontario woods. "Heinhold's son. Harry, had a ranch down near Abilene, in Texas. One spring he went back there after a visit to his father. In Galt. He took along with him, for company, Heinhold's two big deer hounds. The hunting season wasn't due for some months and the father didn't mind parting with his two hounds for the summer so long as they could be sent back to him in good time for the deer season. "Harry and the two dogs went to Abilene by train, from Galt. The dogs rode in crates in a closed express car Well, Negley, about three weeks later Heinhold got a letter from Harry, saying the two dogs had been lost. He though they must have gone out into the prarie after rabbits or the like and had been attacked and killed by coyotes or else bitten by rattlers. Anyhow they had left the ranch house one morning and never had come back. No trace of them had been found. "Heinhold was furious. He was mighty fond of those two dogs. Besides, he had trained them till they were about the best deerhounds In Ontario. He said to me: " I'm through with deer-hunting. I won't hunt again without those dogs of mine. There aren't another brace In all the Dominion to match them. I'm through.' "The deer season, in those days, started In Ontario about the first of October, if I remember rightly. One morning in late September, Heinhold was waked by an odd noise outside the front door and he looked out. "There on the porch lay panting a pair of dogs. He didn't recognize them, till they Jumped up and flung themselves on him, yelping and barking in delight. Nobody else would have recognized them, either. Of all the flea-bitten, scrawny, sorry, scraggy, mangy, sore-footed, torn-eared, rib-showing, cockleburred, skeleton scarecrows of hounds in all the world, these two were the worst. "Yes, Negley, they were his own two lost deerhounds, come home to him in time for the fall hunting that they loved, But Just stop to think where they had come from. Don't try to wonder how they got there. Everyone in the region wondered that, for years. But nobody ever got the answer to it. In Time to Hunt. "Just take out your map of America and find Galt on it, in Ontario. Then find Abilene, in Texas. Then figure out the thousands of miles between the two. That Is enough. Figure how those two deerhounds managed to cover that distance and to get home, alive. In time for their beloved hunting season with their master. "Yes, just study the map and figure out their route of travel. Think of the mountains they must have climbed. Think of the rivers and lakes they must have skirted. Unless they kept due north and then traveled around Lake Superior (thousands of miles out of the most direct route by airship) they must have crossed at Detroit or some such place, or else the eastern end of Lake Ontario, another fifteen hundred miles off the direct course. "Anyhow, they got from Abilene, Texas, to their master's doorstep in Galt, Ontario, between the middle of May and the last of September. How did they do it? I give it up. And how did they find their way again, to the straight route, after each of the wide detours they must have had to make, for lakes and the like. No Food In Sight. "By the way, last year I had to travel pretty widely through Texas, on business - from Corpus Christi to El Paso. Then I appreciated for the first time the real problems those two dogs had to face in getting home. Why, Negley, for hundreds of miles there doesn't seem to have been any food for them of say sort, unless they ate cactus and sand or some such palatable diet. It's all a mystery. "They did no hunting, that fall. Heinhold kept them at home and fattened them and rested them and doctored their dozens of bad hurts. But, the next fall, and for several seasons after that, they had their fill of good hunting, with him and both of them lived to be an honored old age." "Well, Ma'am?" asked old man Negley, folding up the letter as he finished reading It to Mrs. Kayne. "Isn't that pretty near as interesting as if it was about the missing heir? Every word of It is true. too. That's where It has the advantage over most 'missing heir' yarns." (Copyright). The Courier-Journal Louisville, Kentucky Sunday, September 14, 1924
