Wife Limb From Limb.
One of the most horrible tales of Indian
cruelty that hnve ever been told has come to
light from Little Current, Manitou Island,
one hundred and fifty miles east of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich.
Five Indians-Mose Esqu;meaux, Jack
Douglass, Henry Bandni, Bob Bandni and
Sam Bandni-started from the village Of
Little Current for the cabin of a white set
tier named Togosh. There they found
Christina Togosh. the settlers wife, alone.
They demanded drink. which was given them
by the frightened woman. Becoming in
famed with liquor, they attempted to kill
her. :,
She fought bravely to defend herself, and
during the struggle the interior of the cabin
was completely wrecked, and the Indians
literally tore the poor woman to pieces with
their hands. They pulled off both arms and
one log in their drunken fury, and to finish
their crime scalped her and cut Off her ears.
The woman's husband returned, and was
Mortified at finding the body Of his wife dis
membered and so frightfully mutilated.
The five Indians had been seen near the
cabin and were arrested and locked up. One
of the Bandnis has confessed and given oil
the particulars above related.
