Sheridan, Wyo., Jan. 25.-Unless
Frank Scott, the Indian agent of
the Crow reservation, with his head
quarters at Crow Agency, Mont, in
tercedes in the love affairs of Made
line Sullivan, of Chicago, and Chief
Plenty Hawk, Crow Indian, one
Of the most romantic weddings OF
the day will be solemnized
The girl is of white parentage
and is the daughter of Mrs. M. K.
Sullivan, of $40 Crescent avenue,
Chicago. 1t is reported here that
her grandparent is wealthy jewel
ry merchant OF the Windy City, and
the girl herself claims to be we'll
fixed in worldly possessions. She
became enamored of the west while
living in the great city of Illinois
and nothing would satisfy her until
she gained her mothers consent to
see it for herself. She Travelled to
Wyoming last September in COM
pany with another woman named
Sullivan and alighted from the train
at Sheridan. Last September she
went on a camping expedition into
the mountains and roamed the hills
at leisure. She became especially
fascinated with the wild life and
was very fond OF horseback riding.
During the visit of circus here
at later date she attended and
during the festivities made the ac-
quaintance of Plenty Hawk, Crow
Indian of some forty sumers. He in
vited her to his teepee in the east
part of town where he was encamp-
ed with several of his tribe. 1t was
case of love at first sight and the
outdoor life and the carefree spirit
of the aborigine appealed to her. At
ter that she decided to be a squaw
woman and at every opportunity en-
ulated their example.
Miss Sullivan visited the Crow
Indian fair at Crow Agency last fall,
and was seen in the company of
Plenty Hawk almost constantly. It
is said the agent became exasperat-
ed at her actions at that time and
told her to vamoose; that She was
an undesirable.
Miss Sullivan returned to sher:-
dan much aggrieved, but The
thought of becoming the wife of
Plenty Hawk continued to be upper
most in her mind. Her mother in
Chicago began to take MOTTO, Of the
future welfare of her daughter and
thought the seriousness of the siuta-
ton demanded her presence here to
dispell any such foolish intentions
from her daughters mind. She ac-
cordingly arrived in Sheridan
week ago last Thursday and per-
suaded the girl to accompany her
back home. They arrived in Chica-
go Saturday night, January, IA. The
following Monday the girl slipped
away and again boarded the train
for Sheridan. Her mother wired
the chief of police at this city to ap-
prehend her and IL necessary to lock
her up In the police station pending
further advice.
From Thursday night unit! yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock Miss
Sullivan occupied a cell in the wo-
mans ward of the city Jail, and
while there wrote several little piec-
es of poetry about her Indian cham
pion on the reservation. She made
sketch of the man, true to life.
and on the corner of the sheet drew
picture of spiders web and
wrote therein the initials "P. III. and
M. S." The caption of this sketch
was "The Spider and the Fly"
Miss Sullivan smoked high grade
cigarettes while confined in the Jail.
She was dressed after the manner of
squaw woman as much as posi-
1iS. AACA SlOIicS, however. W6ra of
the best quality. in striking con-
srast with the usual clothing of tho
Indian women. Her waist was Of
white silk and the skirt was Of ex-
pensive broadcloth. She is 10 years
of age and considered to be very
good looking.
Chief Of Police H. I. Rice talked
with Miss Sullivan and tried to dis
suade her from her avowed purposa
of marrying Plenty Hawk, but Of M
use. and he did not think he was
urther justified in OBTAINING her
she having committed nothing wrong
SO far and consequently the doors
were opened and she was allowed tn
