the city yesterday short time before
taking his departure for his old home at
Lapwai, Idaho. The young fellow has
spent five years in the government train

When he arrived at Chemawa his knox-
ledge OF English and the customs OF civ
ilzation was extremely meagre. Now

romance. About fifteen years ago he
fought With Sitting BglI's men in the
Nez Perce war against the whites. In
answer TO a question as to how old he
was he said he did not know. and that
there were but few Indians Who did
know how many years they had lived
