Disowned by its father and mother and threatened with death by other Indians if its care was thrust upon them by government agents, a 19 month old Indian boy was brought to Salt Lake Monday from the Goshute reservation and turned over to United States Marshal Aquila Nebeker for safe keeping. The infant was rushed to Salt Lake by Mrs. Herz who said the other Indians refused to care for the baby and threatened to kill it if they were made responsible for its care. Mrs. Herz delivered the babe to Marshall Nebeker and then departed for the reservation. Suddenly and without warning the big Federal Officer became a foster father almost before he knew it. The brown eyed, tawny little youngster emitted a baby coo at the corpulent Marshal and thereby "won a home". Marshal Nebeker made friends with the little rcdman immediately and said that he would adopt it if it continued to show of a "good signs disposition."

Water has always been a primary issue in Milford. In the 1880s two wells not only served the town but furnished water for a number of the surrounding mining camps. According to the July 28, 1960 Milford News, brass "water checks" were used from 1 888 to the early 1900s as the currency for culinary water dispensed to the miners' families. Norman Baxter found one of the tokens while spading in his yard at the comer of Main and Center streets. Mining companies issued the brass water checks, which were exchanged for one barrel of water. Additional water was sold at a rate of 25 cents per barrel. The News reported that Mrs. Jennie Martin recalled accompanying her father, Charles O'DcIl, on his dailytrips for w ater from the Rebel mine in the Star District west of Milford. O'Dell hauled six barrels in his w agon, As part of the all-dtrip, they ate lunch in the Chinese restaurant and rested in the shade of the "only trees in Beaver County," near the Union Pacific Depot. The sun was "a demon on the way back." In 1960, Milford residents paid a summer rate of $4.75 for all of the water they needed for culinary and lawn watering. Winter rate was $3.75 per month. Both figures included twice-a-wetrash pickup. Current rate for water only is $ 16.00 for the first 10,000 gallons and 50 cents per thousand for additional gallonage. - 10-mi- le ay .. ... . irAa" ek Dusty Rose, Joe Hillock, DROOPY"? and Scott Hagberg were the big winners in Power Wheels Race. of town has added some sizable checks to the Milford City coffers, according to Arden Fowles, city treasurer.
