INDIAN CRUELTY.
A. Ourlous
Story of Jealousy
Barbarity.
and
The Horrible Manner in Which a Squaw
Revenged Herself Upon a (vhito
Woman Whom Her Chief
Admired.
There is living1 in Oklahoma, writes
a correspondent of tW Philadelphia
Times, a woman whose perfectly bald
head tells a curious story of jealousy and
Indian cruelty. In 1859 Oswald Thur
vald, a Swedish farmer, had a home in
the territory close to the Texas bor
der,and his family consisted of his wife,
two daughters and a son. The Indians
seemed friendly, passing over the
Thurwalds even when slaying the
other settlers about and frequenting
their place to sell their wares and to
purchase such goods as Thurwald
brought out from the states for barter,
lie was rapidly growing rich and had
made his preparations to move to Dal
las, where he intended to extend his
business, when the tragedy occurred
that destroyed his home and scattered
his family.
It seems that the chief of the Pon
kawa Indians, who visited that part of
the country from the south on raiding
expeditions, had sean Elsa, the elder
daughter, and, fancying her, offered to
buy her of her father. But Thurwald,
though fond of money, Vefused, which
gave great offense to the chief. Re
turning home he incited his people
against the Thurwalds, and the follow
ing spring they made an attack on
him. lie and his son succeeded in es
caping, but the wife and younger
daughter, though they eluded capture
the first few days, were overtaken final
ly. Mrs. Thurwald sank under the
fatigue of her hasty flight through a
rugged country and when the Indians
came' up with them it was to find the
girl holding her mother in her arms,
the poor woman having just expired.
The next day the girl herself, lag
ging on the march from an arrow
wound in her ankle, was shot in the
-presence of her sister, who had' been
seized and held from the moment of
the attack till now. She was taken to
-a Tillage and given into the charge of
the squaws until the men should have
returned from the war trail.
t In the meantime the Kickapoos de
clared war on the Tonkawas and raid
ed the village, when Elsa Thurwald

' Tonka-.'ca returning found the smok
ing remains of the houses and started
after the despoilers, overtaking them
1 . 1. O .. 1 ,1 -w-w-t -.. or, nlicf i.
nate battle ensued, but both sides then
consent-jd to a truce. The chief of the
Kickapoos, however, stipulated that
- the white woman should be given to
Jiim. This was opposed by the Tonka-
wa chieftain, who claimed her by right
of priority. This brought on a quar
rel, which was terminated by a hand-
. to-hand fiht between the rivals, which
resulted in the chief of the Tonkawas
being killed and the bone of conten
tion falling to tne victor.
He carried her home and confided her
to the care of his squaw, with the in
junction that if she were injured in
any way the life of the woman would
pay for it. But tired by jealousy for
her successor the woman took advan
tage of her lord's absence to wreak her
vengeance on the detested object.
Binding her to a tree she deliberately
pulled out the unfortunate beauty's
' hair thread by thread. This tof ture
lasted several hours until the white
woman's head was covered with blood
and she shrieking with agony.
When the chief returned and learned
'what had occurred he ordered the
witch burned at the stake. She es
caped into the bush, but was recovered
and the sentence executed. Thurwald
had now died, but his son hearing of
his sister being in the hands of the In
dians organized a rescuing party and
succeeded in liberating her, after
eighteen months of captivity. Her
.head took weeks to heal, and it is
thought her mind was affected by her
savage treatment, though in 1875 she
married a farmer in the vicinity. Her
hair has never grown again.

"I notice," said the woman with the
steel -bowed glasses, "that if a married
woman happens to get killed the pa
pers announce that 'Mary Smith, wife
of John Smith, was ran over by the
- cars,' for instance. If John himself
gets it there is not a word said of Mary,
- except to mention that he leaves

The
Land of
The Setting Sun
Is still a mysterious and unexplored . country to many a resident
of the cyclone-ridden East and the barren Rocky-mountam region;
but -who. though possessed of a desire to see the great Empire of the
Pacific, has up till now failed to muster the necessary, energy to
make the trip. It seems to them like a great journey, that along the
way still linger the pitfalls and dangers of border days. But this
Empire has made gigantic strides since 1849. . It is not now alone
the land of gold and glorious sunsets, but a stretch of country given
to mellow fruitfulness,' comprising all products from the luscious fig.
and orange of the tropics to the mammoth red apples of colder climes.
Wasco
County, Oregon.
There is still thousands of acres of Government land left in "Wasco
county, capable of raising apples, peaches, grapes, prunes, and small
fruits. Three hundred dollars clear money has been made from an
acre of prunes, and.$l,000 an acre from the humble strawberry. It
will pay those who imagine that Uncle Sam's domain is exhausted,
to make a trip to the "golden west" and see for themselves all that
is to be known.' There is no excuse for putting off this trip till a
later time. An attraction is presented which of itself will pay for
t!ne trip. This is the
California.
IVficivi n te r Fa i r . -
After taking in the Sunset City, visit Wasco County. Indian Summer
is still in her-glory, the thermometer still ranges in the 50's up till
this writing, January 2d, , and our citizens will endeavor to make
your stay pleasant and profitable.
