Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-08-01

IfShed by every DAILY paper In America
and most of those in the civilized world,
was utterly without foundation. Not q
white settler had been killed; and all the
bloody, hair-raising detail which accom-
| panied the yarn was the output of the
over-heated imagination of some tender
foot correspondent at Market Lake, Ida
no. Latest information is to the effect
that many Bannocks, Lemhis and ties
are yet off their reservations, and that
troops are in the near vicinity. Every
effort will be made by United States au-
thorities TO arrest the lawless whites who
murdered the party of Indian hunters.
This wanton butchery was the cause of
all ensuing trouble.
Myrtle Nelson, a child, was found wan
dering about the streets of Chicago. She
said her father had taken her downtown
and Intentionally lost her. Mrs. Chris
tina Nelson, 1204 Dunning street, whose
child, Myrtle Nelson, had been taken from
home by her father and had not returned,
went TO the station TO claim her daughter.
When the woman and child faced each
other the one exclaimed, This is not NY
child.' and the other, This is not my
mother" There are two Myrtle Nelson's,
each - years old, blonde, of Norwegian
parentage; the parents of each have quar-

Norway and been sent into the country to
live on the return TO America. One was
then told her father was dead and one
that her mother was dead. One is search
ing for j father and the other for a
mother.

Mrs. George Mcclellan, three Mcclellan
children, Mr.. Thomas, at Barnes Ridge;
Mrs. Thomas, at Barnes Ridge The fun
nel-shaped cloud whirled through the
dense timber, cutting q swath 100 yards
wide, uprooting huge trees and tossing
them high in the air. Just before il
reached the village the cloud seemed to
rise sufficiently TO clear the cottage
houses, but it caught the high smokestack
of the Three States mill and twisted it to
the ground rs easily as if it had been built
of straw. The power of the wind may be
imagined when it is known that this stack
was considered the strongest in the
world. 1t was made of sheet steel, and
rods.
Almost an entire skeleton was found
