Rescue Of a Child Captured By Indians


A letter from Fort Buchanan, New Mexico, dated
March 10Th, gives the following interesting account
of the recovery from the Indians Of a beautiful
Mexican child, ten years Of age, by Capt. R. S.
EWEII. first dragons, Uuited States army:
The Indians [Apachesl carried of two females,
prisoners, one q woman, whom they lanced and left
for dead, and the other a little Mexican girl, ten
years Of age. The child was finally given up to
Capt. Eweil in exchange for some Indian prisoners
and he had the great pleasure Of returning her t0her
family She is q remarkably interesting little thing
and very intelligent Whenthe exchange was made,
Capt. EWell was one hundred miles in the Indian
country, with only twenty dragons. The Indians
/ approached his camp in large body, but he met
them and told them not TO come in until the little
/ girl should be given up. They had her with them
but kept her concealed. To attempt to take her by
force would, of course, have been to sacrifice her.
/ Finally the Indians decided to make the proposed
exchange, came close to camp and suddenly exposed
her to view. The procession as it then came in, in
file leading the little girl struggling to conceal her
emotion at the release from twenty days captivity
the wild scenery of dense forrest surrounded by
black rugged mountains-the dragons in body,
with sufficient appreciation of apparent danger and
qualification at the result-the really beautiful child
cIinging almost cOnvulsivey to Captain Ewell with
her face showing her efforts to keep composed-au
formed a picture worthy of Wier's pencil
The length of time that we had been anxiousy
looking for this child and the new scenes through
which we passed made such an impression that one
could not help taking more than usual interest II
her and feeling acutely the fate that almost GER
tainly awaits her if left with her Mexican people
The captivity was owing to her great wish to learn
American customs having caused her TO prevail OF
Z her people to allow her to visit the family Of aI
American. She said when she saw the Indians com
ing she ran into the house and told Mrs. Page, who
was combing her HAIR, and who told her it was NJ
such thing, that she was always afraid Of Indians
etc. The little girl however, repeated that 1t wa
so, and that she going, and it IS generally be
lieved that for the two hundred yards before she
was oyertaken by the Indians she made her tastes
time. The Indians caught and ate rats in their re
treat, and she said they gave her the head CT one
and that while captive her diet was like theirs, al
most solely "puris verbs" or nothing but weeds
When being carried off she exhibited presence o
mind beyond her years for Notwithstanding the In
dams packed her on their heads until they got he
into their own eountry-stopping only where Their
was turf-she continued to leave traces by tearing
of pieces Of her dress and leaving them on the road
and whenever there was opportunity, reachin
out from the path and leaving marked impression
with her little foot.

little girl four years DID, was carried by sudden

How the Tornado Look I'd at its Commence


From the Sedar valley NloHaJ Hines.
At about 81 o'clock last Sunday evening occur
red the most terrible storm which this region
experienced. The tornado consisted of two wings
one sweepig to the nOPthward and the other to
the southwark of this city-in which the awful
works of the reused elements could be distinctly
seen by US as they swept their maddening course.
The noise was like stupendOus cataract, and all
turned pale as they listened The formation Of the
water spout or whirlwind which was IN the south
wing of the storm, was witnessed by large num-
Der of citizens being first seen bellying and surg
ing down from the Clouds and twisting and with
ing like huge worm till it finally reached the
earth ard became an hOur-glass shaped column
rushing wildly onward with the gale. The column
looked to be about of mile high, and or rods
through the smallest part-an awfuly sublime and
magnificent spectacle The cloud which passed
over Cedar Rapids appeared 10 be as full Of force
as those at the Sides but fortunately rose too nigh
to do much damage; directly overhead the clouds
were of purple hue bOrdered on the van by pitchy
black, and the rear by gray and lurid white, con-
stantly illuminated by flashes Of lightning. The
north wing of the strOm was much more extensive
than the other, and comprised the real tornado, so
far as the effects prove, and the appearance Of a
mountain of heavy, inky cOlored clouds crash
ing along the surface Of the ground. To the north
east between Marion and Lisbon. the two wings
combined, and the awful force thus concentrated
swOOped around, passing again near our city, then
rushed away to the eastward, to deal death and
destruction to the unsuspecting families who hap
pend TO be in the stOrm-fend's path The course OF
the Storm after leaving this vicinity was due east
till it reached the Mississippi though vergng out Of
the line in some places from five to ten miles.
