Lariat Made From women's Hair.
From the Cl,feaOa ynfa

Up the Wenatchee valley. on the Upper
Columbia river. lives an old Indian chief
named LIE Pier. who is the owner OF a
most remarkable souvenir Of the early days
on the western frontier. 1t Is a lasso fifty
feet long, and made entirely from the hair
taken from scalps OF white women.
Though the old Indian allows but few
people to sec IT. those who have say IT
shows the dark tresses OF brunette women,
mingled With brown and auburn and in
half a dozen places yellow. But saddest OF
all to contemplate are the traces OF gray
and white twisted here and there in the
strange lariat. 1t is believed that probably
thirty women were scalped to make this
fearful relic. nearly all Of whom were
the wives and daughters of settlers IN
Blackfoot valley. Old LIE Pier sets a high
value on the grewsorne thing. believing II
to have some occult power.
