pei the trustees to transfer to him five OF
the trusts certificates which be bought In

An Oregon newspaper states that an Indian
child Of the Nez Perez tribe with but one eye,
situated in the center Of its forehead, like
those of the tabled Cyclops, was lately seen
at Pendleton, in that state. The child was
able to see with ease, and ran about with as
much freedom as any Of its two eyed COM
panions When the child's mother was asked
for an explanation Of the mystery she replied
In chaste and elegant Nez Perez that she
could account for its strange popularity only
by the fact that she had looked at a one eyed
cayuse shortly before the infants birth.
