RELATIVES HEAR FROM HIM

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Feb. 22.-More romantic

Lyon. a former resident of this city
who left Ottunwa in April 1866, who
was reported killed by the Indians and
who, after lapse of almost fortx,two
years, is heard from by relatives IN
Iowa. Many old soldiers in this city
will probably remember Mr.. Lyon as
he was a member Of Company X, Sec
ond Iowa infantry, the first company
to leave Ottumwa during the civil war.
Yesterday f. NJ. Lyon, 412 Webster
street, received a letter from tite man
who for SO many years has been sup
posed dead, which letter is the first
communication that has been received
in this city from him since he left with
a party Of friends for the west, years
ago, in 1865.
Young Lyon after his return from
the civil war was filled with the spirit
of adventure and decided to go west
and seek his fortune there. Together
with a party of friends, who lived in
Wapello county, the young man started
for the Golden West, stopping first at
st. Joseph, Mo. The party left the
Agency, the starting point, in April,
1865 Several months later, +. NJ.
Lyons says. one Of the party returned
and reported that all of his comrades
had been killed by the Indians on-the
western plains. AS Mr.. Lyons was on
ly young lad at that time, being but
about Ia years of age he does not re-
member who the supposed survivor OF
the Agency party was.
From that time until January of this
year, no word was ever received by any
of the adventurer's relatives as to his
whereabouts, and all OF them thought
him dead Last January, his brother,
T. d. Lyon, of Colfax, father Of the
Ottumwa man, received a letter from
Lyon, stating that he was alive and
well, and was employed as a janitor in
the Montana Soldiers Home. Mr.. Lyon
wrote to his son in this city telling
him that he had heard from the men,
Der of the family who had long been
thought to be Dead and asked him to
write to Montana. Mr.. Lyon wrote
as requested and yesterday received a
letter from his uncle, the first COM
munication received in this city from
r. e. Lyon in almost forty-two years.
