friended the WhiLes--A Proposed Re-
Union.
While enjoying his midday repast at
prominent city restaurant, yesterday, the at
tention of GLOBE reporter was called to
neatly attired and pleasant faced squaw, who
was offering for sale quantity of fresh but.
tercups and early spring wild flowers, which
had been culled near the historical and pic
turesque hamlet of Mendoza, few miles
from the city limits of st. Paul. To the av-
erage st. Paulian there is nothing extraor-
dinary in beholding the untutored child of
nature, whose unlovely personal appearance
is of daily occurrence on the principal streets
of the city, but the thrilling events connect
ed with the early life of the woman under
consideration, together with the active efforts
being made in high official circles to procure
her deserved pension, may warrant brief
resume of the times and events of which she
was vitally interested spectator.
The information embodied in the follow
ing narrative was obtained from leading
lawyer of this city, whose intimate knowl-
>ege of the pioneer history of the State is
accepted as the most reliable anywhere at
tainable. Ia Te, the mellifuous name of
the subject under comment, is the widow of
Chas Ka, the lending brave in Little Crows
daring band of warriors, who immortalized
his friendship for Spencer by saving the
latter's life, at the risk of his own, ut the
memorable Sioux massacre in 1862. It
will be remembered that George Spencer
was the only white male survivor, out of $50
men, who were slaughtered at the Redwood
agency, Spencer at the time being an extern
sive post trader at Redwood.
The exalted nature of the red mans
friendship for Spencer will he appreciated
when it is remembered that at tho counsel
of braves, or soldiers lodge, held by the
Sioux just previous to their attack on the
agency, the inexorable mandate went forth
that the life of no white man should be
spared. Immediately after the stores had
been surrounded Spencer fell wounded and
was about to be dispatched by an Indian
when Chas Ka rushed upon the ground and
warded off the guns which had been aimed
at Spencer for the second time, exclaiming:
eff you kill him you kill me. Had you
killed him before came on the scene it
would have been we'll, but now, if he dies,
die too.''
The dramatic effect created by the fernzied
actions of the brave, and the awe inspiring
utterance of such noble and unlocked for
sentiments can be imagined, but never
adequately described. The borrowing de-
tails of the massacre, of which Spencer was
the only male survivor, are too we'll known
for repetition, and the capture of the Indians
by Gen. Sibley and their subsequent execu-
ton, is also known to such an extent as to
make more than passing reference un-
necessary. 1t may be remembered
that Chas Ka was twice tried for
his life and honorably acquitted,
as subsequent developments proved that the
charges had been instigated by jealous enc
mics. After his acquittal Chas IA enlisted
as scout under Gen. Sibley, and was mys-
teriously poisoned on the military expedition
of 1868. During his early life Chas Ka was
one of the most formidable Sioux warriors,
having greatly distinguished himself in nu-
merous engagements with the Chippewas,
and it was his friendship for Spencer that
prevented him from joining Little Grow in
his war against the whites. AS been seen al
most daily on the streets, Ia Te presents the
appearance of a woman about As years OF
age, stoutly built, and wearing face that is
constantly wreathed in smiles
Ia Te was boln near Kaposia, and when 8
child was present at the noted battle be-
tween the Chippewas and Sioux, fought in
1884 opposite Kaposia. It is understood
/ that Col. Crooks has made application to thu
| government for pension, and it is general
ly regarded that the government should have
no hesitancy in rewarding the widow of *
brave and loyal an Indian.
