Some nineteen years ago a gambler very
rich in gold, horses and lands lived in
Medicine Lodge. 1t seems he was a pro-
gressive sort of a gambler. To encourage
immigration he offered very choice bit of
property near Medicine Lodge to the first
child born in Barber county. He went
further and made out certificates to this
effect and placed them on record. A few
weeks after he was killed in an alterca-
ton. But the first baby was born and her
name was Pearl Gslliday. Her parents
soon left Kansas, afterwards the mother
died and the father forsoOk his child. Cast
ON her own resources the girl took care of
herself and earned her bread by her own
hands eventually drifted to Peoria, Hi
nois, where she was employed in "A dining
room. Here she was found by detective
who had been informed of the case and
had set out to discover her She had often
heard of the award that was properly hers
but her father, who seems to have been
a worthless galoOt, would never lay claim
to it and she was ignorant of how to pro-
coed to procure it herself. The land is
now worth 5000 and the first baby il was
was TO receive 81, 600 in cash adj
ditional. The county clerk at Medicine
Lodge can ind no record, but the fact that
the early records are in bad shape makes
the story credible The only trouble with
the anecdote is that the claimant is pro
nounced very beautiful and the men who /
write fakes" for newspapers generally /
have penchant for beautiful dining room
girls who come into great fortunes.
