(special Correspondence.l

Nopeclsu tOrFeSpOnQence.)
Romantic in the extreme and replete
with startling incidents has been the
life of Rev. Joseph N. Griffis, for the
past five years pastor of an influential
church in Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.. Griffls is
now In Anadarko. Ok, where he has
gone for the double purpose of proving
his claim TO $50 acres of land, to which
he Is entitled as an adopted son OF a
Eiowa chief,and to do missionary work
under synodical appointment.
Rev. Mr.. Grififs was born in from
tier settlement where the town of
Gainesville, Tex, now. stands in 1854.
One day when most Of the men were
away a band of kiowas, headed by
Chief Big Bow, made a raid on the
town. The mother OF Joseph ran into
her frail house. taking the child with
her. and barred the doors and win
dows. The Indians battered down the
doors, killed the mother and took the
boy prisoner. When they left the
scene of their depreciation nearly all
the women and children lay dead
about their huts, and their scalps dan
gled at the belts OF the Indians. The
survivors were prisoners, but all ex-
cept the boy either escaped or were
killed.
Joseph was taken to the camp Of the
hiowas and adopted by Big Bow. He
grew up with never hint that there
was white blood in his veins. He took
part In the sports of the Indian chill
aren, and when he grew old enough
became brave and went with his
people on the warpath.

When IA years of aga he learned
that he was white boy. The Kiowas
were on the warpath and Gen. Custer
was after them. He caught the band,
killed many Of the braves and took
the chief, the white boy and several
squaws prisoners. The general saw
that the young captive was not an In
dian, and finally by threats induced
Big Bow to tell where he had been
captured. Joseph was then sent to an
uncle, his father having been killed
while trying to avenge the slaughter
