The entertainment given at the
Methodist church the other night as
the first number of the lecture course
for the winter, was well attended
and there was none who did not
thoroughly enjoy the number. The
people of Murdock are certainly get
ting the worth of their money in
the character of entertainment that
the committee has secured. The next
number is Robert O. Briggs, the en
tertainer, who is known everywhere
as "Smiling Bob Briggs." He is de
clared to be such a character as one
seldom meets, but withall can as
sume a serious and earnest side of
life, which he depicts in his stories,
all of them worth while .and told to
bring home a lesson. He will make
his appearance in a short time, an
nouncement of the exact date being
made soon. Do not let some other
amusement interfere with this splen
did number, and be sure and hear
"Smiling Bob" Briggs." His depic
tion of "Since Mother Went Away"
touches a tender chord in all of our
lives. "When Malinda Sings" make3
you wonder and "At the Ladies Aid"
is certain to make you laugh.
Attacked by an Irate Bull
While Glenn Tickwell was driv
ing the cattle to Ahe barn from the
pasture a few days ago he was at
tacked by a bull in the herd which
knocked him down and endeavored
to gore him, but as th& horns of the
animal were wide spread, the young
man was able to avoid the points of
them. However, he was pummeled
to the extent that three of his ribs
were fractured and torn loose from
the breast bone. The young man
was near a fence through which he
crawled and then lost consciousness,
laying there for some time when a
shower 'dashing water into his face
revived him so he was able to crawl
to the house. A physician was at
once summoned and upon his arrival
bound up the broken ribs. Although
he is progressing nicely, he is still
very sore as a result of his unpleas
ant experience.

One night twenty-four years ago,
when Idaho was a frontier and ro
mance still lived in the forests and
the hills, a six-months-old baby was
stolen from his crib Irt-side his mother's
bed in a little log cabin in the moun
tains, the San Francisco Chronicle
states.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Erick E.
Donley of the Oakland apartments,
Oakland, Cal., found her boy at Lap
wai Ferry, Idaho. He was living on
an Indian reservation as Howard Wil
son, adopted son of a squaw man and
an old Indian woman, both now dead,
and lawful member of the tribe of Nez
Perce.
A soldier from Iaho came to the
Presidio last January and relatetl at
n party in Oakland a strange tra
ditional story of a white baby that bad
been stolen from a cabin near a mili
tary reservation one June night In
1S95. Mrs. Den ley heard of the story
and" at the end of the trail to which
it led she found her son. Iler husband
died eleven years ago after thirteen
years' vain search for their son..
Will Sell His Indian Lands.
As soon as Howard Wilson-can soil
the lands and the cattle left to him
by the old Indian woman who
mothered him for years lie will go to
Lis mother's home in Oakland and be
come Robert Denley, a man of the
cities.
Mrs. Denley was born In Vermont
and her mother died when the daugh
ter was one year old. Hqr father went
to Idaho to seek wealth in the mines.
Years after, when the girl was fifteen,
he became seriously ill.
The daughter and the son of the
father's partner were called to the
bedside and there they were married.
A year or so "later Robert Denley
was born.
That day in June, 1S9.". the young
husband was forced to go to a near
by settlement for supplies. His wife
laughed at his fears for her safety.
But while the mother slept, the baby
was stolen from his crib that night.
Indians Confirm Story.
Howard Wilson, who will be Robert
Denley, has hoard from the Noz Perce
Indians the story of his life.
A white man &nd two white women
appeared among the Indians at Lap
wai in June, 1893, and asked the
Indians to care for a baby boy. The
Indians refused and the white persons
went away, leaving the infant on a
pier.
A young Indian mother took the
baby for her own. When the Indians
went away on a hunting trip the child
was left with white persons and when
the Indians returned the baby again
was missing.
It developed tliat Wilson, a squnw
man, had a cow hie didn't want. He
did want the white baby. The trade
was made, and as Howard Wilson the
boy grew up. He saw the squaw man
beat the aged Indian woman, who took
the beatings stolidly and said she
Roped the white boy wouldn't be like
that.
The squaw man died and noward
Wilson was adopted into the Nez
Perce tribe. The adoption entitled the
tribe to draw government rations for
him. When the old woman died e
boy received all her property and built
over her grave a tombstone such as
never was seen before at the Indian
cemetery at Lapwai Ferry.
Mrs. Denley took up the case with
government agents at the reservation.
They traced the story of the lost white
boy and found it was her son. They
told the young man about It. He was
doubtful, for he didn't know what a
white mother would be like.
The night of July 12, Mrs. Denl
met her boy. Soon he will be living
with her, for now he Is convinced that
she is his mother and that It is better
for him to live as a white man than
as an Indian.
