A True Indian Story - B!
Myra Ann Collins

Dear Juniors:
When Indiana was thought to be
western state, my grandpa's tnIes
aunts went out in the woods TO eatne'
bark to make medicine for sick horse
AS they crossed the creek they saw
a little snake and were playing WIN y
when their brother came along anc
told them to quit playing and 60 nome
as there were Indians around. But they
were having a good time and forgo'
what their brother told them when one
of them looked up on little hill and
saw three men.
They thought, at first they were
negroes but when they came closcr they
saw that they were Indians.
The Indians captured them ana tied
their hands behind them, and one OF
the Indians asked Susie, the Oldest girl
to be his squaw. She said mo" and
when she started to run ne threw his
tomahawk at her and struck her In the
head. The other two girls ran and the
Indians struck both Of them and
thought they were dead and left them
but the youngest girl was not much
hurt and as soon as the Indians were
out Of sight she ran home.
Her mother was standing In the door
and the little girl ran at once and told
her mother what had happened.
Their rather was not at nome anu
the mother went to get him. When he,
with some other men, came home, the
little girl told again the story OF he Ind
ians. The father said mo use 70 go to
the woods now for the poor girls are
dead, and the Indians are probably
hiding to kill us. Early next morning
they went out where the Indians sur
prised the girls and one girl was still
alive but died in a few days. The other
girl was dead.
Years after when the brother was
building him a house and had mum
Der of men helping him hew the logs,
two men, an Indian and white man.
came to the door and asked the girl
that was left to care for the house, for
some dinner.
She watched them earnestly and then
went to her brother and told him that
the Indian in the house to whom she
had Just given some dinner. was the one
that killed her sister. The brother then
told the Indian and white man that he
had heard Of new deer lick and he
and another man were going to it.
A long time after he was asked what
they killed that day and he said "A
buck and bear"
