TRIED TQ BUY A CHILD.
Romantic Story of 10y Brought Up by
Indians.


In 1856 Vancouver, Wash then d
sparsely inhabited settlement, was IA
vorite place Of recreation for the Hudson
Bay company's men. Among the farni-
lies then dwelling there was that of
Philip Heidenfeldt, who had beauti-
ful, faxen haired boy named Willie, at
that time years old.
Willie was adored by a Hudson Bay
company Scotehman known as Long
John McGregor. Long John was we'll
fixed in money matters, having saved
about $50, 600 during his long service
with the company. All this he promised
to bequeath to Willie if his parents
would allow him to adopt the child.
The Heidenfeldts were poor, but not SO
needy as to be forced to part with their
child. They refused So, 900 in gold coin
| from McGregor for the privilege of
making Willie his heir and taking him
with him.
In April of that year Long John re-
turned to tho frozen arctic, where his
business was with the Indians of interior
Alaska. With McGregor's departure the
child disappeared. That the Scotchman
had stolen the child was not doubted by
any one knowing his attachment for the
boy, but no trace Of man and boy could
be had.
Long John, it is scarcely necessary to
say, never revisited Vancouver and some
time in the sixties was frozen to death
while returning to Sitka from business
trip to the interior III an open sled. Nc
Gregor made will, and when death
claimed him every dollar of his wealth
went to distant relatives in Scotland.
The greater part of McGregor's time
in Alaska being spent among the In
dams, he placed the stolen boy in Gus
tody of tribe with which his business
relations were the most extensive, and
with that tribe Willie was when death
overlook Long John, and Heidenfeldt,
now a man Of A years of age, is with
the same Indians today He frequently
visits Sitka, bearing an Indian name,
and speaks English with the broken &C.
cent characteristic of an Indian.
Heidenfeldt's people have heard moth
ing of him for moro than so years and
naturally believe him dead. The writer
Of the letter was in Vancouver when the
boy was stolen and knew him we'll. The
boy was peculiarly marked at his birth.
He had but enc joint on each of his lit
tie fingers, and one of his eyes was black
and the other a dark brown
This optical defect in Heidenfeldt,
when the writer saw him in Sitka last
month, recalled the abduction of 40
years ago. Engaging him in converse
tion, he noticed also the other physical
defects marking the child. Heidenfeldt
said that he remembered being taken
from his home by rough looking man
and placed aboard ship. Beyond that
his childhood recollections are quite
vague. There can be no possible doubt
of this man being William Heidenfeldt.
His aged father and several brothers
and sisters, now residing in Denver,
have been communicated with. San

At a recent meeting of the Railw y
Brotherhood at Terre Haute, Indiana,
Chief Arthur, of the Engineers, in an
address to the union, said: II advise
men to shun saloons and gambling
dens. If that is preaching aristocracy
then am an aristocrat. If l had my
way [ would close all the saloons. and
there would be no occasion for Keel
ey Institutes. The workingmen are
their worst enemies, but the Brother
hoods are making better men of the
men in the train service" He also
said that the Brotherhood had paid
$6,000,O00 insurance. To- day it has
107 written contrac is with railway
companies as to wages. In one year
it expelled $40 members for drunken
ness, and it is steadily raising the
standard OF engineers.
