SAVED WHITE GIRL IN MASSACRE.
Death of Good Thunder's Widow Recalls
Incident of Famous Uprising.

New Ulm Review: At the Santee
agency in Nebraska on the 25th of
April there occurred the death of
Mrs. Maggie Brass, Sioux Indian
woman whose name was well known
to nearly all the whites of this Sec
ton in early days prior to the out
break Of 1862.
In fact Mrs. Brass, or Mrs. Good
Thunder as she was then known, was
an unusually prominent Indian.
She was born at Mendoza in 1929
and was member of Little Crows
Kaposia band. Her Indian name
was Snah-nah-win, niece Of the
noted Makh-pea-ho-to-win or Gray
Cloud, for whom the Island in the
Mississippi below St. Paul was nam
ed.
Snah-nah-win was educated both
in Sioux and in English at DIR. Will
liamson's school at Kaposia and she
could read and write English well
and speak it fuently. She became
a Christian at the age of twelve and
was baptized with the new name of
Margaret. The whites commonly
called her Maggie but the Indians
always knew her as Snah-nah.
When she was nearly fifteen years
old, or in 1853, Snah-nah married Z
fine young warrior called Coco
| Thunder. The same year her banc
removed from Kaposia to the reser
walton, provided by the treaties Of
1851, on the south side of the Mime
sofa river, and the home of Mr.. anl

They both became members of the
Episcopal church, and Maggie wa.
