Some of the Coast houses with

A VETERANS ANNIVERSARY
Capt <Chas. Sischo's Romantic
Life History.

Tomorrow will be the 18th birth
day anniversary of Capt, Chas. e.
Sischo, the we'll kown war veteran
who lives at 6O2 Occur d'Alene street.
He will entertain a few old time
friends at dinner and the day will be
spent in a social fashion. Those in
vited are Capt. Hayes, commander of
the local post of the G. A. R., aud
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. James Reed and
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin thinner and
son, L, P. Zimmer..
The life Of Capt Sischo is perhaps
as interesting as that of any person
in the city. He was born in New
York state, April 81, 1880 and while
boy his parents moved to Michigan.
When twelve years old he ran away
from home and worked his way to
New York city where he shipped on
the sailing vessel, Grace Amelia, as
cabin boy. The boat was headed
around the Horn and he was ON the
ship for three years, visiting the Sand
wich Islands and a number of other
i foreign points. Captain Sischo has
complete model of the vessel be
first sailed in, mounted in glass cab
met hanging on the walls of his liv
ing room.
Later he returned to the Great lakes
where he shipped as a common sailor
and later a master of vessel. When
the Civil war broke out he enlisted in
the navy and served until his term
expired, after which he returned to
his home In Michigan and later en-
listed in the Tenth Michigan Cavalry,
serving to the close of the war. When
he received his discharge papers, he
was confined to a hospital in Georgia
with diphtheria. Upon recovery be
AID three companions started fol
their homes in the north, his friends
dropping by the wayside. He made
the entire journey from Georgia tc
northern Michigan, a distance OF
14OO miles, on the back of govern
ment mule. His reminlcenses OF this
trip are exceedingly interesting and
would fill a book.
He came west in II as far as Neb'
raska where he lived three years, ther
moving to California where he lived
four years. He spent a short time II
the Palouse country and in 1881
moved to the Occur d'Alenes. He
then came to Occur d'Alene, and
spent three years, moving to a rancl
on the st. Joe river where he livec
six years. 1t was about ten years ag'
that he5came to Occur d'Alene an'
settled d ,wn in his present home
He lie prowinent 10 the circles of tn
G. A. r. and his wife is a member o
