Harbour legally adopted the girl in
Omaha some years she secured
possession of the child by trickery.
Mrs. Rosso died When Rose was less
than a year DID,, and the baby was
turned over to the home where the
father visited it. One day he learned
from the authorities there that an at
tractive young woman had appeared
and begged to keep the child for one
week, and on her appearance the sis
tiers give up the baby. Neither the
woman nor the child We're ever again
seen by either the sisters or the father,

in Omaha. Then Harbour met her and
later married her, bringing his wife and
the adopted girl to Rapid City, where
Rose was completing her education.
