When Mr. Hunt was a young man, wild beasts were still to be found in Collins, espe- cially bears and wolves of which he tells many capital stories, one of which happened about fifty-five years ago, is worthy of notice. One of his neighbors, Mr. Cadwell, observed that his

corn was being destroyed, as he thought, by his neighbor's large black hogs, which were allowed to run at large. Mr. Cad- well told his neighbor of the ravages which his hogs were mak- ing in his corn field and that if he did not keep them out of his field he would shoot them. On going to his corn field a few days later he saw that the same ruin was still going on, whereupon he loaded his gun and told his son, a boy of twelve years to go to the field, and if he saw his neighbor's hogs there to shoot them. The boy took his stand in the field, and after watching until near sunset, was about to go home when he heard the intruder crashing through the corn which was so tall as to prevent the boy seeing the animal until it came very close to him, when it arose upon its hind-feet upon which the boy fired, and without waiting to see the effect of his shot ran home and informed his father that he had shot the neighbor's largest black hog. On going to the field they found dead, not the neighbor's hog, but a very large black bear which had ravaged the corn. The names of his children are :


Warren P., born March 23, 1832, and lives in Idaho. Clar_ issa, born June 2, 1836; married Reed Clark and resides in Collins. Benjamin F., born May 18, 1850 ; married Florence Canfield and resides with his father on the old homestead. The names of Benjamin's children are :

Mr. Johnson was a man of great energy and whatever he un- dertook was carried forward to completion, and he was possessed also of good business qualifications, which rendered his undertakings remunerative, and had he been spared the allotted span of life, he would have acquired a great fortune.
