agent of the Chicago 4 Northwestern
Railway company in this city. The nc
count Ia in itself remarkable, but having
a connection with prominent resident
oi our village rondcrs il more interesting
TO the local public. The following rs
taken from the Sparta (Alich.l Sentinel;
"a remarkable story comes from
Traverse City, which finds "A strong echo
OF interest here, In that relatives of the
parties live in our village. In July,
1861. Albert Smith, the three years old
son OF Lyman Smith, a pioneer IN the
Grand Traverse region, while playing
around the house, disappeared and no
trace OF him could ever be found. Now
after thirty-nve years OF wandering,
knowing nothing OF his own parentagc
and going 10y another name during thofe
years, Albert Smith is once more with
his family friends near Traverse City,
his mother being still alive to join with
brothers and sisters in welcoming him.
The aged mother is a sister OF Mrs. Huse
OF our village.
The story, as finally traced out, is
briefly as follows: In 1861, Whitefoot,
an Indian chief near Port Huron, went
to the Traverse region and undertook to
incite the Indians there, who then out
numbered the whites in that region, to
an uprising His mission failed, and the
angry chief starting back followed a
trail that led close by the Smith cabin.
Finding the little boy at play, with no
one else in sight at the moment, the
Indian seized and carried him off. The
tribe soon removed to Minnesota and
then farther west, the boy growing up
among them and following their wander
ngs for fourteen years. In 1876, while
there was trouble between whites and
Indians, young Smith was accused OF
treachery and nearly burned TO death.
The Indians fled leaving him tied TO the
stake and the fire kindling around him,
from which he was rescued by n white
emigrant after he had lost consciousness
and was badly burned. From that time
he led II cowboy life until recently when
nm old squaw from the tribe with which
he grew up saw and recognized him and
told the story Of his abduction. A com.
panion OF Smiths communicated Will
the governor of Michigan, giving the
story as the squaw told it. The
governor caused it to be published in
northern Michigan with the result above
stated, the Identification having beer
made complete"

Mr. stephenson's retirement.

Mr.. Stephenson's Retirement.
The Milwaukee Sentinel's Washington
correspondent has the following good
words for "our SAM" who is soon TO
rotiro from public life ''Sam Stephen
son, the representative from the upper
peninsula district OF Michigan, will retire
from congress at the close OF the present
session. Mr.. Stephenson has been an
active representative, and has rendered
valuable service for the interests OF the
northwest, especially with reference TO
Internal improvements on the commit
tee on rivers and harbors. Many Of the
large projects in connection with the
commerce OF the great lakes were secured
through the active and efficient work oil
Mr.. Stephenson. As man OF large busi-
ness experience and having thor.
ough knowledge OF the commercial
needs oi tho northwestern states,
he has been valuable man on
the committee. Mr.. Stephenson
also had q reputation for sticking so
strongly for large appropriations that
he had different reputation among the
the people of the states where large APP
propriations for internal improvements
arc not asked for. An illustration OF
this is given by the greeting which Mr..
Stephenson received on returning to
Washington for the present session. He
mot Speaker Reed, who shook hands
with him in a cordial manner, and OK
pressed regret that Mr.. Stephenson
would not be a member OF the next con-
grcss. However said Mr. Reed, in his
peculiar Yankee drawl, having in mind
the tcnacity with which the upper ponin-
sula member had clung for large river
and harbor appropriations at the last
session oi congress, Il believe the public
treasury will be largely the gamer by
your retirement"
