In tho latter part of tho 'COs, Gov

prulrles of tho then scml-wlldcrness
of Minnesota, behind his father's
pralrlo schooner, as tho family wend
ed Its way toward Iowa In search of
a now homo. In Hardin county,
Iown, tho family settled upon n
homestead, and It was there sur
rounded by the hardy American
pioneers, that Governor Lowden
spent his boyhood-- and absorbed
thoso sterling Ideas of American In
stitutions, which have so character
ized him, since entering public llfo.
His-parents being unable to assist
him, young Lowden, like Lincoln,
acquired his early education by study
at the f(roplnco when his days work
on the farm was 'done. So great was
his ability as a student, that at the
age of 15 years he secured a position,
as teacher ln the country schools in
Hardin County, Already the spirit of
the young farmer boy was filled with
tho desire for an education, and for
five years he taught tho country
school, doing his own Janitor work
nt tho school to, obtain a few addi
tional dollars with which to defray
his education.
It Is a long call from tho back

It is a long call from tho farm of

' sold, bartered or given It to the Ind-
lan wards of the government.
Tho complaint was made by Wal
ter G. West, superintendent of tho
reservation and the offense Is alleg
ed to have been committed March 12,
last.
It appeared from the superinten
dent's story that he discovered that
liquor had been Introduced by tho
defendants and immediately took
steps to check its distribution by ar
resting the two men and locking
them up. Because of the storm at
the time and condition of the roads
he was unable to bring his prisoners
to Klamath Falls and "Tex" made
his escape, aided by a friend with a
pony.
Mr. West brought David in and
lodged him in the local Jail, and in
formed Sheriff Humphrey of the es
cape of "Ter". In searching for tho
fugitive the county was combed and
Mr. West made a trip to Jiei Bluff,
returning yesterday to learn that
"Tex" had been taken by the reser
vatloa police at Chiloquin.
