a squaw was found wrapped up in
blanket in the middle of the road, in
beastly state Of intoxication. The rain
was falling heavily and she was completely
drenched. By her side was bottle Of
whisky about three.parts full. Across
the road was pony held by child Of
about 10 years, evidently waiting until
her mother should recover from her
drunken stupor. The driver got off his
seat and pulled her out Of the way oi
passing teams. Shame upon the person
who furnished the poor Indian with the
whisky. Sufficient puuishmen,
should be meted out to him.
