buy share of the warm springs
property, which has be - Mr.. Berg
rdorf S home for the last fifty-two years.
When the mortgage became due the
man had no funds and Mr.. Bergdorf
took over the property, which con-
sisted of house, which was used as
roadhouse or stage station. The
site is a charming one, from a pic
turesque point of view, and advan-
tageous for the raising of cattle, and
he has developed it into valuable
ranch.
Asked what was the most exciting
experience he had encountered, with
the exception of his shipwreck Mr..
Bergdorf remarked that this exper-
fence extended over nearly two years,
the Nez Perez Indian wars of ~ and
rs, during which time he was never
free from fear of the redskins.
WINE ALWAYS ON HAND
81 lived alone in nay cabin" said
Mr.. Bergdorf, "and it was thought so
dangerous, as we were on the main
trail which the Indians travelled, that
many times L went to the nearest
camp or some of them came home
with me. l always had cache of
good food and wine and the men en-
joyed the excuse to visit me.
alt was on one of these visits that
saved the life of Pete Smith" said
Mr.. Burgdorf ~ man named Bush,
who accompanied me home, had n
gun and as j came out of the house
| found him in the act of shooting at
what he said was an Indian. | per
suaded him to wait, for l had my
suspicious, and sure enough it turned
out to be Pete, who dressed very
much like an Indian. That same
night | was aroused by a sound and,
looking out of my window through the
blind, | saw an Indian on horseback,
who came up to within ten feet of the
window | had my gun ready to shoot
as soon as he dismounted, for l knew
if | didn t he would shoot me. just
then heard a hallOo, and Tom CLARK
appeared in view; the man had
taken for an Indian was his China
man, who also was dressed like an
Indian, and what / took for the In
dian s hair beneath his hat was the
string he had braided in his cue"
Mr.. Bergdorf spends the winters
quietly, usually; the mail comes every
other day and he enjoys reading.
The summers are lively, for Mr.. and
Mrs. Burgdorf have many visitors; par
ticularly has this been true since the
building of the new highway, which
has put Burgdorf within easy dis
lance of the outside world.
Mr.. Bergdorf met his wife when
she came through with q party from
Denver. during the Thunder mountain
excitement, and so fond did she be-
come of the country that she was
persuaded to leave her city home and
i've in the wilderness and she says
she has never regretted it.
81 feel that the greatest thing L
have done for Idaho is to keep my
husband, at the age of "a, so well
and able to carry on his work, for he
has been one of the upbuilders of the
state,' she said.

Philosophers frequently repeat that

but touch Of the right kind of ridi-
Guile will put him on the defensive,

are ridlculed. The elevated railroad

OF EARLY-DAY0
EXPERIENCES

Perhaps no Idaho pioneer has had
more exciting experiences during his
early days, or spent his later life more
TRANQUILITY, than has F. c. Bergdorf of
Bergdorf Hot Springs.
Mr.. Bergdorf was born in Germany
eighty-four years ago. AS young lad
he followed the sea. On q cruise in
Pacific waters his ship was wrecked off
the Chinese coast and he remained in
China sixteen months, pending the
salvaging of the ship. He then decid-
ed to ship to San Francisco 1t was
here that he learned of the gold excite
ment at Warren's diggings and started
with a party for that point. They
went to Portland by water, and then
up the Columbia and on to Lewiston
by boat, and from there by saddle
train to the diggings in '64.
