SOME ANCIENT HISTORY.
BY Missouri Man Who Seeks q
Missing Sister,

A. B. Dennis of Hannibal Mo-, is
in the city in search of his sister, of
whom he has heard nothing for the
past 25 years, says the Spokane Chron-
icle. When she was last heard from
she was living at Pine City, Whitman
county, her name being Mrs. Hattie
Reach. She was at that time the
widow of Henry Keach. He will visit
Pine City and endeavor to get some
trace of her there. She is known TO
have had three children, one of whom,
daughter, is married, but Mr. Den
mis- does not know her present name
or address.
Mr.. Dennis came west in 1854 with
Lis fathers family in a wagon train
and he tells an interesting story o: a
massacre which occurred in Boise val
ley in Idaho The Noble train, com
posed of 145 persons. was abor-
three miles ahead Of the Ward train
in which there were 135 people. The
members of the Noble train head q
great amount of shooting behind them
and Mr.. Dennis father with so vol
unteers. rode back TO see what vas
the matter. They founG the Ward
train had been attacked by Indians
and every person had been left on the
ground for dead. One boy, Charles
Ward, revived. although he had been
pierced by three arrows, and was
taken to the Noble train, where he
was cared for. The Indians had
aiken away everything they could
carry and had burned and destroyed
the rest.
Mr. Dennis family settled at The
Dalles. but in 1862 moved to Colville,
Stevens county. then a hamlet of a
few persons. They passed through
Spokane, which was then but rocks
and sagebrush, not a house having
/ been erected at that time. The elder
/ Dennis died in Colville in 1866, and
| the son returned to the east and set
| tied in Hannibal, Mo-. where he has
since resided.
While in the west Mr.. Dennis par
tlcipated in the great Indian wars o
1S55-56, including the "Cayuse war,
when the Nez Perce Indians took th'
part of the whites
Mr.. Dennis will spend considerable
time in Washington in search of hi
sister and will go to Walla Walla an
probably The DaIles before he return
east.
