was erected, in which they were packed
like herring in a barrel, and the night

gloomy, and toward night n storm
arose, with showers of sleety rain and,
after a night of horror, morning broke
cold and wet. Some of the watchers
were taken away forcibly by relatives,
but the majority endured another day

reaction among the weak ones was ter

caught by the exposure. There were
many lawsuits over property that had
been given away, but in most cases 1t

Support--Her Husband
Got Tired OF Her.

Huron. s. D., May S.-Mrs. f. w. Can
non. late a resident of this city, writes
her son, DR.. Cannon Of this city. from
Carthage, Mo, giving an interesting ac-
oun of her meeting Mrs. Samuel
Campbell. better known as Cora Belle
Fellows, who married Chaska, a Sioux
Indian, while a teacher on the reserva-
ton a few years ago. The affair caused
a sensation, Miss Fellows being wash
inGton city belle and highly connected
and educated. Following the marriage
the pair were on exhibition In various
dime museums. and in that way ac-
Cumulated quite a fortune. On their
last visit here Chaska and his wife wore
fine clothes, brilliant diamonds and
handsome jewelry. All these, together
with the money and Chaska himself
have gone and the former belle of
Washington society now lives near Car
thage, Mo, a deserted and destitute
woman with -four children dependent
upon her for care and support. In her
letter Mrs. Cannon says:
"A few days since my attention was
called to a widow in destitute circum-
stances J filled a basket with bread,
meat. coffee, sugar, cookies, etc, and
father took a small sack of apples. and
We two went to see her. She vas indeed
destitute not only of food, but OF cloth
ing and house furniture. The woman
was careworD and sickly looking. !
soon discovered that she was educated
and refined. and evidently had seen bet4
ter and happier days During our con
versatiOn three children came into the
room, two boys and m girl; the oldest,
a boy, was about years old, and
showed very plainly hat Indian blood
coursed in his veins; the girl and youn-
ger boy were less Indian marked. but
the traces were quite noticeable. The
woman told me they were her children.
but did not say their father was an In
dian nor that he was dead, but re-
marked thai tho girl was quite small
when she lost him" The mother said
she was at one time a teacher at the
Rosebud Indian agency and at Santce;
that before going there sho lived in
Washington city, and had married
against the wishes Of her people. Z
afterward learned that her husband de-
serted her and married a squaw. Shc
now has no knowledge Of his where
abouts. She is not strong enough to
work, but tries to do washing or other
labor for the support Of her children.
she Is capable Of teaching, but can get
no employment In that line. The Aid
society of the Methodist church has aid
ed her very much, and IS now raising
money 10 send her and her children To
Nebraska. where she has friends who
will look after her. She Is anxious the
public should forget her and her mar
rlage with Chaska, the Sioux Indian.
