May 1928 "The story which appeared in the Advocate last Tuesday relative to certain men climbing the west Pawnee butte, recalled to Win Morris of Sterling an experience which he had about thirty years ago in a similar stunt. Other men included in the climb were Joe Peyton. Arthur H. King, William Jenkins, Squire Conkle and A1 Woolman. The proposition was mentioned and all agreed that the butte should be climbed, but as to how it should be cliimbed was a matter of discussion. At that time the old fire hall stood in the court house yard at a point almost identical with the site of the present bandstand. As a result, ladders were taken from the fire hall, transported by teams to the buttes, and the climb was started. "I did not go up." said Mr. Morris today. “Squire Conkle was the first to make the ascent. Joe Peyton started but came down before he had gone far and explained to the boys that he would do it, but that his wife had cautioned him about climbing high. That brought a laugh from the crowd, and the excuse was never forgotten. "While we were congregrated there a group of cowboys came along, saw what we were doing, and decided to put on a celebration. The band of cowboys was headed by Mont Fitch. They staged a rodeo there that was good as anyone ever paid to see. Mont climaxed the performance by removing the bridle from a bucking horse and allowing the animal to buck as much as he desired and go as far as he liked."

April 1908 "Last week Logan county gained another future city. W. S. Jenkins surveyed a town site of about 30 acres at Proctor, on the U. P., for the Logan County Development Company.

Mr. Jenkins has been planning for some time to go to California, and suddenly last week made up bis mind that he had to start last Friday. His scheme worked very successfully, as no one tumbled until they learned or the wedding. We do not know whether the trip to the coast has been abandoned or not."
