Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Dec. Mrs. Abbie
Gardner Sharp, the only survivor OF

Ing book on the Spirit Lake massacre,
In which massacre her parents were
both killed, also n sister and broth
err. She was taken captive by the In
dams. with four other young girls,
after the massacre. and the strangest
thing Is that the other three captives
were all killed later by the Indians.
leaving Mrs. Sharp to claim the title
Of the only survivor OF that we'll re-
rnembered event.
She was taken by the Indians into
the northern part Of South Dakota.
where she was Kept for three months.
The story of her escape from them Is
ALSO we'll remembered by several OF
the old settlers in this city, and was
made thru the governor Of Minne-
sofa, who sent out three friendly In
dams to her rescue. and after three
days council with the Indians, they
succeeded in gaining her release.
At the time Of the massacre Mrs.
Sharp was but fourteen years old, and
had two brothers and two sisters. on
her escape from the Indians 1T was
circulated that her older sister was
not in the settlement on the day OF
the massacre, and communication was
sent to Major Williams, who was sta
toned in this city at the time, and
who located her sister In Hampton.
She was brought to this city, and re-
NAMED at the home Of Major Will
Jams for several weeks. until her Sis
ter was also brought here.
Mrs. Sharp Is noted historian and
has gained a national reputation on
her lectures. She also owns her home
at Okoboji, In which her folks were
all killed and which Is log cabin
now used for historical building In
which there are several Indian relics,
etc. The recent discovered Indian
burial mound at Lake Okoboji is also
her property, and is situated near her
cabin. Some of the bones from this
mound have been sent to the State
University, and are claimed by histor-
ians to be over two hundred years old.
Mrs Sharp Is now In her sixty first
year, and is In excellent health. con-
sidering the l1ardships that she has
gone thru, both in losing her par
ents and being with the Indians for
almost half year In which she under
went the most awful hardships. She
Is at present staying at the home OF
o. H. Newell, at 90 Second avenue,
north.

NEW MULCT PROBLEM
Gan An injunction Issue Against
Saloon Operated in Uninoorporated
Village or Outside the Limits OF An
Incorporated Town?

Special to I'imes-Republican.
Sioux City, Dec. LII an injunction
is granted certain citizens of the VII
lage Of Bronson, a "hole -in-the- wall
there will close; II 1t is refused BY
Judge Wakefield, then it Is more than
likely that a new flood gate for "booze"
Will be opened for thirsty ones in small
Iowa towns. All that will be neces-
sary in that event is to move the thirst
parlor Just outside the town limits.
The question which is before the
court and the county attorney Is:
Can saloon run un1nolested at a
crossroads corner, or can 1t be re-
strained by injunction?
The application for the injunction
was made by citizens Of Bronson to
close the saloon operated by w. +.
Copenhaver and Edward Harris and
the hearing has been set for Decem-
Der 3.
The whole question which makes
this test case Is the fact that Bronson
Is an unincorporated village. 1t Is q
pretty we'll settled question that an In
junction can issue against saloon IN
q city or town that is incorporated.
But as related to an contemporaries
villege 1t is g. pioneer case.
County Attorney Whitney says there
is sufficient law on the subject to war
rant the injunction against the saloon
Other aftornevs saw that IL q man
wishes to run saloon on a eross-road
there is no way to restrain him. The
county attorney has spent considerable
time investigating the matter and says
the law is we'll enough defined to war
rant making the test. 1t will be
watched with considerable interest by
lawyers in Sioux City and surrounding
towns.

THE SAME OLD GRAFT.
Smooth Scheme Being Worked on Un-
wary From Spain.

LeMars, Dec. l. - One OF tne
smoothest and most ingenious attempts
to capture the money Of the unWary
Is now being worked from Spain. Mr..
NJ. A. Moore Of this city, a wealthy
lunberman has Just received the last
of a series Of letters. The first letter
purported to be from a prisoner In one
Of the Spanish bastiles. The writer
claimed to be Cuban patriot, captur-
ed and carried to Spain during the Gu
ban revolution. Before he was impris-
oned he had placed In bank In Lon
don a deposit Of $4,000. The certi-
flcate Of this deposit leaves only his
baggage At the time of his imprison-
ment his baggage was put under an
embargo for costs Of prosecution. He
claims to be relative of Mr.. Moore
and to be in very poor health. He had
a daughter who was in some kind OF
a home in Spain. He wanted his Am
erican relative to take charge Of this
daughter in case of his death and pro-
posed to will portion of the $175,00o
to this relative to pay him for his trou-
bic. Shortly after this comes letter
from his confessor announcing his
death. In this letter is. enclosed one
from the prisoner written in trem-
bling hand just before his death beg
cling his American relative to take
charge of his darling daughter. "A
week or two later comes a copy OF the
will written in Spanish with the
priests translation. This will leaves
one-fourth Of his property to MT
Moore on condition that he take charge
of the daughter. In the same letter
comes the decree Of the court entering
a Judgment against the prisoners bag
gage for e132 (English money! for
costs. Here is the milk in the cocoa
nut. Mr.. Moore is invited to pay the
s1s2 or about $3.50 to pay the judg-
ment in order that he may come into
possession Of his share of the estate.
The papers are evidently prepared with
much care and the fact that the work
has been going on for some time shows
that they catch an occasional sucker.
Mr.. Moore will place the papers In the
hand. Of the secret service IN Wash
inston, thus complying with the writ
er's request that the matter be kept
profound secret.

GOODS ENLISTED

They Are Asked TO Discourage Stud
ents in Coo College From Smoking
A Crusade Against the Habit Be-
gun.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 1.-That smoking
among the college men should cease
was the burden of an admonitory leo
ture by Dean Stookey, acting presi-
dent of Coe, yesterday at chapel exer-
cises. Coe has always been known for
the high character of her students. and
for the past half dozen years smoking
has been practically unknown. In
fact, at present, there Is no smoking
on the campus, but some of the stu
dents are accustomed to use the pox-
ious weed in their rooms.
The fact was not generally known
among the students. until Dean Stock
said that he had called on an errand
at the rooms of some of the young
men and found the room full Of smoke.
Another, when he entered, presented
the atmosphere of the average smoking
car. He said that 1t was recognized
that this was not a matter for faculty
action, but he urged the students to
create such an atmosphere in the COL
lege that smoking would quickly be-
come questionable.
connection with the college, smoking
seemed fashionable among small por-
ton Of the young men, but that thru
the influence Of the young ladies, the
habit was soon stopped, and he more
than intimated that the co-eds could
do much to eradicate the present in
vasion of the habit.
