OF AN AMERICAN STATE When Yantis and his men returned to the camp after theirvain effort to rescue the women and children of the unfor-tunate party, they heard a childs voice calling them feeblyfrom the bushes near by. On going to the spot they founda nine-year-old boy, named Newton Ward, who had beenbadly wounded and left for dead.

Taking the wounded boy in theirarms they returned to the train, though the pain from hiswound was such that he begged to be put down and left todie. He subsequently recovered and came safely throughto Oregon, where he grew to manhood. His brother, afew years older, had a much more miraculous escape. Hewas shot through the right lung with an arrow, which passedso near through his body that the point could be felt underthe skin of his back. Thus wounded he managed to makehis way to Fort Boise, a distance of nearly thirty miles,living meanwhile for several day
