t The real name of the child was unknown to the petitioners. She is the only survivor of the massacre in the Wallah Wallah Valley, in California. Her white friends found her, and saved her, giving her the name of Wallah Redding, which name the probate court decreed that she should be known by hereafter. Her parents were murdered with the other Indians, at the time above alluded to, and the child was found lying across the mother's breast after the massacre.
