DISCOVERED HIS MOTHER,
UIDUUVEhEU Mo MUIAIN,
After Her Conversion to hOrmOniSm,
BY ADVERTISING IN A NEWS
PAPER,
She is "a Years Old Now and Has
Raised a Large Family
in Utah.

BUTTE, Mon, OCl', IA IL"
months ago John COurcey, a hotel
keeper at Barker, Mon, and well
known throughout the state, ap-
piled to an attorney to assist him
in procuring a pension to which he
was entitled by reason Of his hav-
ing been a soldier in the Mexican
war, as we'll as a veteran Of the
late civil war. In the course OF the
business he gave his attorney a
sketch Of his life, which contained
some interesting particulars. His
father and mother lived in New
York in 1912, and his father fell a
victim of the cholera plague, which
swept the country about that time.
After his mother went to live in
Connecticut, when he was about Is
years old, Courcey ran away from
home and went to work driving
horses on a canal in New York
state. After following this bust
ness for about six months he re-
turned to his home, only to find
that in the meantime his mother
had become converted to Mormon
ism and followed the prophet Jo'
seph Smith to Nauvoo, Ill. The
lad followed his mother to that
place, working his way by slow
stages, only to find on his arrival
there that the Morning Glory had
been dispersed, and as near as
he could learn, they had gone
to Council Bluffs, Iowa. He
followed them to that place
and then learned that the Mormons
had taken their departure into I'M
known wilds as it was then called
and afterwards he heard Of the
founding of Salt Lake. He, how
ever, gave up all hope Of seeing his
mother ever again and went to
work on a river steamboat. finally
enlisting in the Mexican war, and
again with the union troops in the
civil war. At the close of the war
he came west and located in Mon
tana and here he has been ever
since. When his attorney heard
the story he suggested that Mr..
COurcey might obtain some news
of his mother by writing to one of
the Mormon elders in Salt Lake
City and he did so. The communi-
cation was inserted in Salt Lake
paper and during the last week no
less than score of letters were
received from children, grandchild-
rem and other relatives of the lost
woman. From the tone of these
letters it appears that on arriving
in Salt Lake, Mary Courcey, the
mother, married a Mormon and
had large family, many ofwhom
are now we'll to do and prominent
people in the territory. The moth
err is still alive, although "a years
old and Mr.. Courcy finds that in
stead of being alone in the world,
as he supposed, he has scores Of
relatives in Utah. He will leave
in few days for Salt Lake to meet
his mother, after having lost her
for nearly fifty years, and make
the acquaintance of host Of rela-
tives through her second marriage.

Harlan Disagrees With Jenkins

CHICAGO, Oct. lin the United
States Court Of Appeals today,
Judge Harlan, of the United States
Supreme court, read his opinion on
the strike injunction. Judge Jen-
kins was severely handled. Judge
Harlan held that a body of men
had right to quit work, irrespec-
tive of the discomfort which might
result. They had, however, no
right to conspire to do damage or
embarrass. He did not agree with
Jenkins famous definition of a
strike:. That it was necessarily il
legal. Judge Harlan held there
was such a thing as legal strike.
Judge Jenkins injunction was
modified.
