Mrs Delina Reader Roberts of Mis-
sissippi viii soon be presented with a
medal in recognition of her heroism in
facing fire and nursing the wounded
during few exciting days of the civil

erts (she was Miss Reader when it hap

honor bestowed.
in September, 1861, following the Fort
Doneson battle, she secured frcm the
provost marshal at st. Louis q govern
ment pass to go on board the govern
ment steamboat Des Mones. which was
ordered to Donelson to Dring back
load of wounded soldiers Her object
was TO bring BIZ her brother. who
was wounded. At that time Miss
Reader was only II years old.
While passing through tie most dan
gerous part of the country at night,
where bands of guerillas We're numer-
Gus. the boat ran into the bank. The
office windows were all open. ana Miss
Reader was sitting on the high stool
that belonged to the clerk of the boat.
Ia the office We're one of the pilots, the
boat captain and the first engineer of
the boat. The nine companies on board
had marched off the boat to the corn
field.
Before the troops had time to get in
line q terrific firms commenced. The
bullets says Mrs. Roberts, were ~
Ing around us thick and fast The en-
gineer fell on his hands and knees on
the office floor. crept to the stairway
that led downstairs and disappeared.
After the battle | learned that he wenS

Captain Baldwin of the boat grabbed

and brought i'm the same manner an

Of this kind, and each ti;Ne brought

out in the river, ran back two miles
and anchored until the dawn of day"
After acting as hospital nurse. and
on the second morning after the battle,
Colonel Wheatley invited Miss Reader
ont on the bow to take farewell of the
boys. Below was a beautiful snow
white horse. which Colonel Wheatley,
the commander of the regiment, pre-
sented to her in very impressive
speech, as a mark of gratitude of the
officers of the regiment.

LOST RELATIVES.
Allen Avery's Daughter Wants to Fin
Her Father.

Alien Avery's Daughter Hahts 10 rim
Her Father.
Chief Mulholland is in receipt of two
letters of inquiry in which two persons
seek information regarding lost rela-
tiyes. In one Martin White of Chi
cago detective agency asks If such a
person as Allen Avery is known in this
community, and imparts in explanation
Of his desire for information strange
story to the effect that Avery lost his
wife % years ago. She died in child
birth, and Avery. who was absent
from home somewhere in the West
WAS informed that the child died also.
He never returned TO his home. as a
consequence of receiving this informa-
ton, it is supposed. At ali events, he
was not heard from. except indirectly
thereafter, and il now develops that
the child did not die, but was raised
by relatives, and is now thrown upon
the world. Having been told of the
father, and that the last known of him
he was supposed to be in Butte, she
sought the aid of the authorities to find
him. The writer states that he does
not know, nor does the young woman,
why the father was led to believe the
child died.
In the other letter Fred Wranke of
ga East Twenty-second street, Chicago,
inquiries after a brother he has not seen
in Is years, and who he believes to be
in Butte.
