detachment, a soldier named Woods,
agreed to adopt the Indian, and he
was taken by him. 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

tachment, made an affidavit as to the
finding of the boy. The matter re
