AN INDIAN CLERGYMAN.
The Romantic story of How lie Was
Captured and Educated.

Rev Sherman Coolidge, an Anpahoe
Indian, conducted the services at the
Episcopal church in Evanston last Sun
day. His life story is a romantic one,
and is thus given briefly by the Evanston
Chioiaiu, which says:
Nearly every citizen of Evanston
knows Julia, the Arrapahoc Indian girl
who was reared by our respected citizen
John Felier, and lives with his family on
the ranch opposite town. On Thursday
last this young lady was hgreeably sur
prised by a visit from her brother, whom
she had never seen since the spring of
1879, when they, with two younger
brothers, all little children, were captured
by the Bannocks in a battle fought be-
tween that tribe and the Arrapahoes, on
Little Popoagie. near Camp Brown. AT
ter the battle, some of the officers of the
7th regiment, then stationed at Camp
Brown. managed 10 obtain the four little
Arrapaho captivos from the Bannocks.
Our townsman John Felter afterwards
took the girl Julia; the two younger
boys moved with the soldiers to Montana
and died. The Oldest boy was taken
charge of by Mrs. Coolidge, wife of Capt.
Coolidge, of the 9TH United States infan-
try, and adopted into the family aud
given the name of Sherman Coolidge,
The boy being bright and interesting,
Capt. Coolidge and his estimable lady
took all the interest in him that they
could in a child of their own. ard gave
him all the advantages of u thorough
education. After graduating with honors
in a university in Minnesota, he entered a
theological seminary, where, after some
years OF study, he. graduated and was
regularly ordained as an Episcopal clergy
man. He had the choice of a military
education, but chose rather TO qualify
himself for a teacher among his poor
people. He is now teaching at the Ar
rapahoe agency, and has taken advantage
of a vacation to come down here aud look
up his sister Julia. The meeting was a
very affecting one aud even brought
tears into old John Felter's eyes. Mr..
Coolidge has great influence with his
tribe on account OF his education, coupled
with the fact that he belongs to a family
of chiefs who ruled the tribe for more
than a hundred years. The present noted
chiefs of the Arrapahoes. namely,
Sharpnose, White Horse. Little Wolf and
Six Feathers, are his uncles,

rations to them. but not in quantities suf-
ficient to enable them TO live in the In
dams favorite style, viz: to eat, drink and
sleep and have little else to do besides.
If they did not by their own exertions
procure something in addition to their al
lowance many Of them would know what
it is to be hungry occasionally. game be
coming more scarce each year. and AS a
result they are compelled to adopt a few
OF the white mans methods Of living.
The more sensible ones can foresec what
the end will be, and are preparing them
selves for it by fencing in little patches of
land, on which they raise vegetables
Some in addition, plant corn. Others a
little wheat or oats, Last year the Sho-
shones grew some delicious watcrmelons.

Since the talk of grasshoppen in

night a party in Cheyenne discussing the
subject evolved a few. II remember in

in a car reading Il newspaper about noon.
when suddenly it grew quite dark, and |
thought sure a terrible storm was on us.
1t was a cloud of gr%asshonpers, so thick
that when they settled on the car track
they stopped the train. There was good
feed where we were just then and it had
brough the hopper to a halt. We were
blockaded for twenty-four hours, until a
snow pillow was telegraphed for, and when
it cut the way for us it left bank Of
'hoppers on each side higher than the
Smokcstack Of the locomotive.
That was pretty bad, said another
b~ystander, but | have seen worse. We
were campcd one summer in Kansas,
making a survey for a new town. The
'hoppers struck us at night, and in the
morning we thought the end of the world

were nine hours tunneling ont of them.
