The Case of
Peter Grant
By ELLA WHEATON
Peter Grant emigrated to the plains
when hundreds of thousands of buffa
loes were tramping over them, and be
•went there to hunt them. His oldest
boy, Oscar, was nearly grown, nnd the
two together collected the buffalo hides,
that were tanned into robes, -which
at that time were largely used In win
ter In place of the present more ex
pensive skins.
The father of the family, being a
poor sleeper, was accustomed to sleep
In a room built as an addition or wing
of his house, where he would be undis
turbed by any sound. Since he was
accustomed to come rcnd go at will the
key to the door of his room was kept
under the doorstep, that whenever he
wished to go to bed be might do so
without awakening the rest of the
household.
The Grant domicile wa^ located not
far from the foothills of the Rockies
near where now stands the city of
Denver, which was then a Tillage. The
Indians inhabiting that region were the
Utes and the Arapahoes. Both these
tribes, especially the latter,*were friend
ly to the whites, but were not very
kindly disposed to each other. As late
as 186S tbe Utes sallied forth from
their hunting grounds In the moun
tains on the warpath toiflght their cop
per colored enemies.
One autumn Peter Grant went on a
hunting expedition to get meat for the
family use during the winter. He said
that he would be gone not over a
week, and his destination was that
beautiful region since called the Gar
den of the Gods. In which Colorado
City now stands. The week passed,
and every day the Graut family ex
pected its head to reappeur. But day
after day passed, and nothing was
heard from him.
When two weeks from the time of
his appointed return had passed and
he did uot turn up his son started
southward to look for him. Oscar
traced hit; father to the foot of Flkes
peak, where he lost track of him. But,
hearing from settlers that a tribe of In
dians from New Mexico had raided
that part of Colorado while his father
was hunting there, the boy was forced
to believe that his father had been
captured. He went on southward as
far as Pueblo and. hearing nothing of
a captured white man, returned north
ward.
Oscar knew that it was the habit of
the Indians on capturing a white man
to torture him and then kill him, so he
said nothing to his mother of what he
had learned. He simply told her that
he had heard nothing of his father and
hoped that some day he would return
to them.
The winter passed without Grant's
reappearance. Oscar continued to hunt
the buffalo. He desired to complete
the amount of money his father had
fixed upon before returning to the east,
. and his mother would not leave the
place so long as there was any hope
that her husband might be restored to
her. A year passed, during which Os
car added considerably to the family
assets by the sale of buffalo skins, and
he suggested that they go back to the
east The children needed to be edu
cated, and the older girls were now of
an age when it was not best that they
should rem;: in on the frontier. But
Mrs. Grant had faith that her husband
would return, and she could not bear
to think of his doing so to find his for
mer home deserted. So she kept put
ting off her children from month to
month, from season to season. Finally,
when two years had gone by since
Grant's departure and there was no
news of him, her children persuaded
» her not to spend another winter on
the plains.
The family were preparing for their
departure when one day a tribe of In
dians from the south came up on a
foray. They were not hostile, had no
revenge to take on the whites of the
region and seemed bent only on appro
priating to themselves what they could
find. They encamped near the Grant
home and stole everything that was
not under lock and key, cleaning out
all the outhouses, especially the smoke
bouse. in which hung considerable
smoked game, consisting of antelope
and venison.
The Indians remained but one day
and night and then turned to retrace
their steps to their southern camping
grounds. During the night that they
were about the place Mrs. Grant
thought she heard a sound in the lit
tle wing of the house in which her hus
band used to sleep. The key to the
door reifloiued where it had always
beenjtept, and she wondered if any of
the prowling redskins had found it and
gone into the room. If so, doubtless
all the bedclothing and smaller ar
tides would be appropriated. In the
■ morning after the Indians had gone
she looked for the key, but it was not
' there. She tried the door and found
it locked. While she stood wondering
at the meaning of this, she heard a
voice say:
"Who's there?"
"Who's inside?"
"Have the Indians gone?"
"Yes."
The bolt was shot back and the door
partly opened, revealing a man dressed
and painted like an Indian. Mrs.
Grant recoiled, but the man caught her
in his arms. He was her husband.
He had been captured by this tribe,
adopted and carried Into New Mexico.
When the tribe came north he came
with them and found a convenient hid
ing place In his own room.

Face and Neck Covered with Pirn-,
pies. Nearly Crazy With Itch
ing and Burning. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured.
Lindsay. Mont. — "I started to got great!
big blotches round my neck and I did not
think very much about it at first, but they
commenced getting worse all the time and
cuch an Intense itching, it never gave me a
minute's rest. The pimples were red and
would swell. From Itching, and scratching
them so it caused them to spread; there
would be sores rrom scratching them so
intensely. My face and neck were covered
with pimples. It looked as If my whole
face was in one solid rash or sore, and I was
nearly crazy with Itching and burning. At
night they would be very bad so I hardly
could sleep. My face was. I must say, in
one raw sore. I nearly gave up all hopes of
ever getting like myself.
"I bought a few bottles of some good blood
medicine but without help. My poor face
did not get any better. I had heard so much
about Cuticura Boap and Ointment 1
thought I would try them. So I bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap and ono bo* of Cuti
cura Ointment and started to use them and
followed the directions as closely as I could
To my surprise only a few applications
stopped tho Itching and scratching and in
a couple of weeks' time my face was nearly
well. I kept on using the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and in two months' time I
was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs
Gust Nelson. Dec. 4, 1012.
