INDIAN REVIEWS OLD QUEST
Washington Raneher VIII Again Start

Husum. Wash.-To again search for
the body Of his lost child In the wilds
Of the Cascade mountains, rs miles
northwest OF here. is the intention Of
Johnny Cayuse. an Indian rancher liv.
ing four miles northwest OF Husum.
Johnny reluctantly retold the story
Of the sudden disappearance Of his
daughter. Katie. six years ago. while
he with his family were camped near
the cave region west Of Trout lake,
during the huckleberry picking sea-
son. Nearly a thousand Indians gath
er In that region every year to pick
berries and indulge In amusements.
II was after one OF these festive oc-
casions In August that the daughter of
Johnny disappeared as II swallowed
by the earth. Parties searched for
weeks for the lost. but no trace or
her could be found. The supposition
was that the girl had been killed By
some Wild animal or had fallen into
one Of the caves. Another Indian su-
perstition was that the girl was lured
by a monster Of the lake to its watery
home.
