miles west of this city, left his home
and did not return. Christopherson
heard OF the boy being ut the home or
n rnnchcr on the White river, but us
the boy had ran away from home be-
fore, he felt no uneasiness, thinking
that the farmer with whom the boy
hud taken refuge. would bring him
home the first time lie came to town.
In a few days he heard that the boy
had left there to go to tho home or
anotnei farmer. but when the father
got 10 the latter place the boy had
/, again left. \ diligent search was
without success, and the belief was
that tic hoy had taken refuge with
the lndi,Gs. The other day While Ole
Margestau was riding over the hills
he found the remains Of the boy In a
dry wash-out ,,slvcs had eaten the
flesh from one see of the face and
neck. The verdict Of the coroner's
Jury was that the death of the lad
resulted from exposure to the weather.
4 few months ago the boy ran away
and followed some stockmen to this
city. He was returne;: to his home,
and declared at that time that he
would snever run away again.

The Sons Of Veterans have determiheu
| that the letter Of Governor Oferrah'
I'm which the Executive declines his cleo
ton as honorary member by the organi|a-
ton until further explanations are forth-
coming. shall not be published until al
ter their meeting next Monday nignt'
when resolutions will DO passed by the
camp which will have tendency TO
smooth the troubled waters.
The preamble to the resolutions VIII
be a complete setting forth Of the man
ner in which the misunderstanding arose,
and a tribute to the worth and bravery
Of Governor oFerrall as a Confederate
soldier. Following this will come reso-
luton announcing his election as an
honorary member Of the camp. The en-
tire action Of the camp thus embodied
will be- given to the press after the meet
| ing next Monday night.
LETTER OF THE GOVERNOR.
The Governors communication to the
camV covers three pages of closely type
written matter. The tone is decidedly
aggrieved, and the reasons he gives for
proposed to confer upon him are, in eff
| feet that he is at a loss to understand
the action of the camp in laying the
motion for his election on the table, and
further that he gathers that some Of
the members doubted his record as a
soldier The Governor calls upon such
to come boldly out and state their OBJ
jections to his election. Governor OFFER
rail- also feels greatly aggrieved over the
| coloring given the matter in out-of-town
| papers
The letter of the Governor came as
thunderbot out of a sky that ap-
peared to be rapidly clearing. 1t was
received last Saturday afternoon, and
Immediately thereafter Mr.. Mnetree
Folkes, commander Of the camp, visit
ed the Governor, to try and explain
matters to his satisfaction.
A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Folkes said yesterday that he had
found the Governor deeply grieved by
what he considered an assault upon his
record as a Confederate veteran, but
stated that while open to this construc-
ton such was never the intention of
| the camp.
Mr. Folkes said that from personal
investigation of Governor O'Ferralps re-
cord as a soldier he felt constrained 10
say that IL was stainless.
Mr. Folkes said he believed his ex-
plantations had been satisfactory TO the
| Governor. who had accepted the propo-
sition that a full statement of the en-
tire circumstances surrounding the I'M
fortunate occurrence would be given 70
the press. The publication or the re-
port of the meeting Monday, therefore,
came in the nature of great surprise
10 the members of the camp, only six
of whom were present when the matter
was brought up for discussion and re-
ferred TO the commander.
Mr. Harry NJ. Smith, Jr., who was
elected at the same time as the Cover
nor has written a letter to the camp,
expressing his appreciation Of the honor
conferred upon him.
