GRAND JUNCTION, COLO.
is LOOKING FOR LOST BROTHER.
James Farrell Comes to Colorado in
Search of kinsman.

In a few days James Farrell will
come to Grand Junction on a search
for his brother, Michael Farrell, who
left his home in the east many years
ago.
Mr.. Farrell expects to visit all of the
leading towns and cities in Colorado in
an effort to locate his brother. and he
writes that he has strong reasons to
believe that his brother is in western
Colorado, perhaps in Grand Junction.
Eighteen years ago Michael Farrell
left Hartford, Conn.,, for the west, and
since that time his whereabouts have
been unknown to the family. For sew
eral years strong efforts have been
made to locate him.
Yesterday James Farrell, the broth
er, reached Denver on his search for
his brother, and, after a few days
spent in that city, will start across the
state.
The missing man is about 80 years
old. 1t seems that years ago he want
ed his mother and father and brothers
to come west and they refused, for the
parents were growing old and died not
many years thereafter. Then no more
was heard from the son in Colorado,
and the name of the town where he
was living was forgotten.
The story of the Farrell family is one
of romance. Michael Farrell a we'll
to-do land owner of County Limerick,
Ireland, had six sons, among them
Michael, and James, who is hunting
his brother. and daughter Mary.
At the age of 13 James ran away
from home and Joined the Harrison Lex-
ploring party which did much histori-
cal work throughout the wilds of Af-
RIGA. He later engaged in the Egyp-
tian wars and all communication with
his parents at home was dropped.
News came to the Farrells in Ireland
that their wandering boy had been
killed in a skirmish, and he was
mourned as dead since that year.
which was 1882.
Four years later the family came to
America and settled in Connecticut.
near Hartford. Here the five brothers
engaged in various pursuits and finally
Michael made uD his mind that he
would come to the west to seek his
fortune. Fate smiled upon him and he
made much money. And 1t was at this
time that Michael wrote his parents to
come to him, but they being old and
not caring to risk so long a journey.

west, lived in contentment.
In the meantime James Farrell. age
having quelled his spirit for wander
ing, decided to return to his native
land. He sailed for England from
South Africa in 1905 and hurried at
once to the old homestead in Ireland
But other hands were tiliing the soil
and the name of Farrell was all bur
forgotten. Some of the Oldest inhab-
itants remembered that they had gone
to Hartford, and thither the son fol-
lowed.
He experienced no difficulty in lecat-
