the bucks having gone on a hunt, with
the exception of "a couple of old men,
these three Phoebe fighters held q con-
sultation, and after due elaboration, they
decided upon attacking and capturing
the squaws. Bishop Crandall led the
attack. and these three warriors entered
the encampment of squaws yelling and
shooting their guns off in the air. The
squaws didn't capture worth cent, and
instead of the Piochers capturing the
squaws, the squaws captured them.
They were bound to stake and guarded
all night. and early next morning Bishop
Crandall and brother Newton were un-
tied and stripped of their clothing by
the Indian maideDs. then taken out into
the creek and washed. After being
thoroughly scrubbed the two men were
brought to shore and dried, their faces
painted and their heads decorated with
buzzard feathers. The red women then
informed them that they had been
adopted by the tribe and that they could
each choose three maidens for wives to
wait upon them. Poor Judge Good.

squaws did not smile upon him. They
kettled him and turned him loose and
he is now running wild amid the noun

Crandall and Newton in their new home
report them as being happy and con-
tented.
