To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, l may tell of an incident
which happened during the winter was
with them. Toward evening on very
cold winter day, when it was showing
just little and drifting a great deal, an
Indian came to the log house with Jug
half full Of whisky and with his rife. /
imagine that the jug had been entirely
full of whisky when he started, aud BY
the time he got to the house he was in
rather jolly condition. The Jug and
the rife were taken away from him, and
he was ordered to get to his wigwam as
as quick as he could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not come home that
night, and as the night was cold She had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found il one Of the sheds near
the barn under heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appar-
emily the Indian was frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out Of the snow bank aud
drsgged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose Of watering the cattle. Laying the
Indian out on the snow, she took the
pan that was beside the hole, and, fill
ing it repeatedly, dashed pailful after
paiful Of ice water over the body OF the
Indian. by the time the other unsuc.
cessful searchers had returned she hau
her old man thawed out and seated by
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
BY the others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, he would have
died Detroit Free Press.
