After eighty-two years of life ho dies with his cherished hope u failure. The aim of half n century splutters In the socket and the light which guided him for so long Is lost In the ngcfl. Briefly told that Is the story of Theoplhm Urughulcr's life except the secret ho kept to his dying day. Amonff his effects examined In 1890 was a letter dated In 183G.

Theopllus Brughulcr was born In n llttli village In Canada not far from St. Johns Ho came of n family of Influence and afflu ence. Ho was educated somewhere between | tbo 20' a and the 20's by the priests for the commercial world and up to the time o j the event which marked his life the deatl j of his love was , regarded as one of the brightest and ablest .among the Canadian French. His family had connections in Franco with those of prominence nnd his oportunltlcs were ample for the ambition o anyone of that perJod. But being of thu Impulsive nature for which his people arc noted he besought ) an asylum la the wilds of the west. He secured n position wltl the American Fur company and began trad Ing with the Indians In Nebraska and Da kota. He became a favorite with the no mads of the plain the Sioux and for a time stood aloof from the barbarism of his surroundings. He 'flnally succumbed and married the daughter of , War Eagle , a Sioux chief. Ho traveled with them on their hunting trlp jj , garbing himself wltl the blanket , the breech-clout and the , feather. He discarded every semblance o his civilized state and for years was a leader among the warriors In their barbaric deeds. His wife died and he took up with another daughter of the chief. Often , he told In after years , he would during those ten years lie awake at night gazing into the skies and yearning for a return to civil ization. Finally , one night while camped on the bluffs near Fort Pierre , he had a dream of a land replete with wealth of sol and game and a place where .there wa bound to be a great city and the people o his race accomplish great deeds. He tolc War Eagle nnd the old chief told him tha he knew where that place was located. 1 was at the Junction of the Sioux and th Missouri. He Immediately moved to th place and located there In tjjo 40's and thu became the first white settler where Sioux City now stands. of n. City. He took with htm his twelve half-breed , children and his squaw wife. War Eagle .afterwards came and made bia borne with him. In a year or two he burled the chlof on the hill and finally his Indian wife. By this time ho began to accumulate property He engaged la the contracting business for ° the government. Gradually a settlement gathered around him and among thosa who made their way to the camp was e Mr. and , ptrs. Broughetto. Having occasion to mnko few trips to Salt Lake they accompa'nled him. They all arrived a day or two after the famous fight In Ash Hollow and iorc on the , ground Immediately following the murde' of Lieutenant Gratton. While Oroughette was on a trip he was accidentally shot and di.'d. Brughulcr having no one to care for his children married Mrs. Broughette , who v/aa a French woman from St. Louis , orlc- Innlly , and then began thu work ef educating the twelve children. Ho sent them to cast- j cm schools , expended thousands of dollars upon them In the hope that they would make out of the family name nn honor to him and to the country , but although he spent i largo fortune In his efforts It all came to naught and the boys are today members ol ' the Sioux tribe , wild nnd only contented with tbo nomadic life of the eavago of the rt'alns. As the years rolled around ho still en. ? aged In contracting nnd aided Presided Lincoln nnd General Todd to secure the fu nious Yankton Indian treaty , from whlcl he secured -ISO acrfig of land for each oni of his children and.-somcthlng like $12,001 for his services tot 'n commissioner li making the treatyIn this treaty tin nation was given'r .31 most a continent o territory. After " .expending all liln readj 11 money for his chlhlliin' , he settled down 01 a farm of 480 acres near Sallx , ten mllui from Sioux City , 'hfm begun the life of i farmer. Ho pursueaif'tho eamc able coursi ' In the handling of ) it'lils property that In > did In every other > business transaction , am In his declining y np1 ; became a very devout vout Catholic.
