White Bluffs Band and Drum g.

street {Federal Avenue), Wedrles-
day evening, with marching man
euvers and music, for the pleasure
of the people of the valley. MANY
cars were parked nearby and the
street was tilronged with people
who felt pleasant thrill of salts
faction at the smartrless and class
of the local organizations. The ey-
ening was a bit chilly, but it seemed
to add vigor to the members of the
band and corps. All were att1red
in white shirts and Stacks, neat AND
comfortable. For the excellence OF
the marching maneuvers, great
credit is due K. A. House, drum
major, who has succeeded I'M thor
ouglly Installing the spirit OF the
march into his pupils. The march
ing maneuvers lasted for more than
thirty minutes, after which short
concert was played in the BAND
stand by the bank. The concern
was excellent. Had the weather
been warmer, the concert woule
probably have been longer White
Bluffs is proud of its band and drum
and bugle corps and proud OF tht
leaders.

She sent him to Brooklyn Cor

When he returned, however, the
tribal leaders had not forgotten
him and they asked that his life
be forfeit.
Mrs. Iglesias appealed for aid,
and DIR. B. D. Weeks. president Of
Bacone Indian school here offer
ed a haven for the lad. AS Mrs.
Iglesias prepared to send the boy
to this country. he was kidnapped
by Indians. Three months later
he was rescued as he was about to
be sold into slavery.
With his foster brother, Claudio
Igleaias, the boy was sent to New
York. immigration laws did not
provide for admittance OF Indians,
but Oklahoma legislators in Wash
ington persuaded immigration
authorities to grant the boys en-
trance. '~.-e 81

Mrs. Irma Wells, who re-
sides in Hunts Lane, is the
happy mother of a baby of
two months and has a tooth
for each month of its age,
ana two other teeth prepar-
ing to come through the
gums.
The child is a boy, lively
and precocious at least as far
as teeth are concerned, and
the mother did not realize
the teeth were so definitely
out until she was bitten and
had the knowledge forced up
on her that her son actually
had teeth.
Elvie Pierce, father of
Mrs. Wells, said this morning
he had read of such things
and had heard Ripley of "be-
lieve it or not" fame tell of
them, but never gave a
thorzbt to being the grand
father of a child whose name
should go on the list of the
