He gave him the name of Kitt Carson, after thv noted scout. When Woods was mustered out of the service he returned to his home In Missouri, taking with him the little Indian. The lad was taken into his home as a son. and was given good educational advantages. During the war of the rebellion Woods enlisted for the Confederacy, lie served with distinction under the "bonnle blue flag,” und attained the rank of colonel in one of the Southern regiments. At the close of the war Woods moved West to Arizona, taking with him his adopted Indian son. In Ari zona Carson became acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Millay, the attorney who was here with him Tuesday, and through him learned that he was en titled to an allotment on the Klamath reservation. In behalf of his Indian friend, Mr. Millay took the matter up, and com menced correspondence with Captain O. C. Applegate who was then Indian agent on the reservation. Captain Applegate directed him to secure ev ery possible evidence of the Indian's Modoc blood. An affidavit was secured from Colo nel Woods as to the finding of the child, and his caring for him. In ad dition, Colonel Tozier of San Francis co, who was also a member of the de tachment, made an affidavit as to the finding of the boy. The matter re mained In abeyance for some time, but finally Millay secured the affidavit , of an old Spanish woman, who made the clothes at Yreka for the young- After this proof was in, the com- [mlssioner of Indian affairs put Car- For years the old woman worked son’s name on the rolls, and he will in Klamath Falls, doing laundry work receive his rights.
