The Pendleton Tribune reports the
case of a pretty girl being persuaded by
procuresses to accompany tnem in uma-

The adopted 18-year-o!d daughter of
Mrs. Bonnifov, who, though a quarter
blood Indian, is said to be much prettier
than many full-blood white girls rated
as beauties, and who resides upon the
reservation, was inveigled from her
borne early Saturday morning by two
female procuresses. These women eoent
two days upon the reservation going
from : family to family, and diaplaying
cheap and gaudy jewelry and colored
ribbons, which they took from a black
grip, in order to test the susceptibility of
the young, women. It was not long De
fore the white settlers and the more in
telligent of the Indians became suspic
ious and made Agent xlarper aware oi
their fears. He acted promptly upon
the knowledereTeceived and sent out
warning to different parts 'of the reser- !
vation, too late, however, to prevent the
one young, womaja from being carried off.
At daybreak Saturday morning juts.
Bonnifou missed the . adopted girl and.
upon ipfiking inquiries, learnea mac Bne
had been seen in a wagon wun iwo
women and a man. Her worst fears
were immediately aroused, and after
two hours spent in the untiring efforts
to ascertain ' what baa become oi ine
mniden. she was informed of the direc
tion taken and also of whose wagon had
been engaged to carry tae party away.
Frenzied, the poor woman saddled a
hnrnn and started off alone in pursuit.
She traveled all day and until the night
was half spent, but upon reaching the
mountains, and hearing sufficient to con
vince her that she was not gaining upon
the fugitives, Mrs. Bennifou gave up the
chase in despair. However, she turnea
her horse's head homeward without
thinking of rest, and early -yesterday

was given a full -description or the'two
procuresses and their victim 'and fmme

to several points. Everything possible

girl, but it is feared that she "is now be

ported early ' on Saturday there would
have been more hope.
' At ; Dallas on Saturday, there' was a
Woodmen picnic. A prize had been
offered for the quickest chopping of a

nnrnmnned by telecrrfcoh this morning to
attend the funeral of her sister, who was
