Indian Superstition.

Carson Tribune; At the time MIR.
Dangberg's hay stack was struck by
lightning an old Indian was found I'M
der some hay burned to death. The
dead mans squaw had for years
worked for Mrs. Dangbery and was
much liked by the whole family.
When the dead body was g g by her
she naturally went to an Indian camp
near by, and on arriving there all the
bucks commenced slapping and kick
ing her, and would have taken her
life had not her son, a bright Indian
boy, procured a rifle and kept the
brutes at bay. Immediately after the
fracas was over, the mother and boy
went to their shanty and burning every
thing up, left for parts unknown,
believing that an evil spirit had de-
scended, killing the husband and
father, and did they remain would ruin
their dear friends, the Dangberg
family, and that said bad spirit had
burned up the hay IS a warning OF
what was to come did the bad Indians
remain on the premises. Mrs. Dang
berg is said to be much distressed at
the loss Of an old and tried servant.
