INDIANS WERE DESTROYED
White ! Man Coveted Land Of Onas
for Sheep and Used
T~reachery.

In his article on his adventures
among the Ona Indians OF TERRA del
Fuego in Harper's for August. Charles
w. Furlong charges the white colon,
lists with having %wantonly destro. d
this once strong race.
LESS than three decades ago the
primitive inhabitants, the Ona Indi-
ans, lived, hunted and fought from An
agarda point in Magellan strait to
Beagle channel.
Had the whole island been ike
the southern half. today the Onas, in
all probability. would be in control
of practically all of their original do
main. Had it been like the northern
half, the world would undoubtedly
look upon the hunting grounds OF an
extinct race. AS it is. within less than
thirty years the Onas have shrunk
from perhaps 5000 to 500. and all be-
cause they possessed land the white
man coveted for his sheep, and had
Unborn courage and ferocity strong
enough to oppose him.
with the establishment of the hrst
sheep range, in the early SOS, began a
cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of the white man. In reprisal
for the land from which he was driv-
en-, the Ona raided the range at night
for the white guanaco.' as he called
the strange animal, the sheep. which
he found not only easily captured,
but sweeter and more tender to the
taste than the wild guanacos of his
island.
These raids were sc persistent and
assumed such magnitude that it really
became a case of Indian or sheep, and
the scattered settlers with their rang
err began a warfare of determination
in which hireliDgs were engaged and
the .chunkies' shot on sight. Occa-
sionally a large number with their
women and children were. rounded up
and shipped to Dawson island. where
tuberculosis-infected quarters soon &C
complished their work. 1t being 9
Ease primarily of bullets against ar
lows in an open country, the result
was obvious. In ~treachery the white
man outdid the Indian. He invariably
took him at a disadvantage and played
false with his truce. even resorting to
Soisoning one of the Ona's main food
supplies. the blubber Of stranded
