ANOTHER OF TUE CAPTIVE WOMEN RESCUED
The Equator arrived last evening from Red
Wood Agency, having on board Messrs. Rob
ertson and Campbell, Indian traders of Red
Wood and Yellow Medicine, and Ma-za-cuta-
mani, Un-patan-to-che-c and Casta-ma-za,
Sioux Indians sent out by Major Flandrau to
ransom the captive women, Mrs. Noble and Miss
Gardner. They were accompanied down by
one of, and the only remaining surviving cap
tive woman taken at the Spirit Lake massacre,
Miss Gardner.
It seems, from what we could CLEAN, these
Indians proceeded on their march to band of
Yanctons, numbering some 100 lodges. On
their way they came across the trail of the
out-lawed Sioux who committed the Spirit
Lake and Springfield outrages, which they fol-
lowed and found the murdered body of Mrs.
Noble. On arriving among the Yanctons they
found and effected the purchase of Miss Gard
ner. .....I ...
The menner of Mrs. Mobiles death was rs
follows: The captives - Mrs N. and Miss
Gardner-had been obtained from Ink-pa-
dutah, one of the out-lawed rufians, by YANG
ton Indian, and were in his lodge encamped on
large prairie; that Ink pa-dutah came into
the lodge at night and told Mrs. n. to go on
the outside of the tent. Mrs. n. refused, saying
she would rather stay inside if they killed her.
She was then seized and carried out, when she
was murdered in the most brutal manner.
Miss Gardner is young girl, apparently not
more than fifteen, of an interesting appearance
and modest behavior. She is left in the world
an orphan and frendless. Her father, mother,
sister, brOther-in- law, and family, were all
massacred. She has but an only sister in the
vicinity of Fort Dodge, Iowa, to whom Miss G.
proposes to go. We learn that late last even
ing q subscription was started for her, and
many generous donations made 10y citizens and
strangers who were at the Fuller. This is
commen6able move in which we hope gener-
Gus hearted public will readily respond.
THE RAPE TRIAL.-Richard Calvin, and John
O'Brien, were tried yesterday morning before
Esq. Gibbs, City Justice, on charge of commit
ting rape on the person of Ellen Crawley,
about two weeks sincce. The complainant was
SO injured as not to be sooner able to appear.
The attendance was full, and the testimony
most conclusive. 1t seems that the defendant,
Calvin, persuaded the woman into his house,
induced her to drink some lelsonade, which he
had purposely drugged, and when in a few
minutes, her consciousness was destroyed by its
effects, he committed hellish outrage on her
person, which was repeated by the other
wretch, O'Brien.
We cannot give the particulars Of the trial,
us they are unfit for the public to read. AT the
conclusion of the trial, Justice Gibbs held Gal
vim, the principal, to bail in the sum of $1,000.
for his appearance at court, and O'Brien for
$500. Calvin procured bail, but O'Brien was
committed.
W. P. Murray for defence, D. Newell for com
plainant.
