pretty scene.
Mrs. Roberson's visit to Red

has done in various lines of, club
work, and because of her stand
ing as one of the foremost pub
lie women of her time. Her COM

the Woman's Club because of
her personal friendship with
Mrs. Bowers, a former member
of the Club. Mrs. Robertson is

July Fourth

Hon. Oscar HalIam, Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court,
will talk to the people of Red
wood Falls and vicinity at the
patriotic program at the court
house square Wednesday morn
ing, July 4. Justice Hallam is
too we'll known to Minnesota resi-
dents to need any introduction
from the Gazette, but this is his
first visit, as a speaker, to this
section and the first opportunity
offered to many to hear him
speak. Men who have heard
Justice Hallam and have been
associated with him in his work
on the bench are positive that
any one who fails to hear him
will lose a splendid privilege.
1t is rare indeed for a small
city like Redwood Falls, to have,

the regulations of Justice Hal

Indian Captive
Visits Scenes of
Her Captivity

Mrs. Minnie Schwandt Smith
of St. Paul was a guest last week
at the home of Mrs. Richard
Henez of North Redwood. While
here Mrs. Smith visited the
scenes of her captivity by the
Indians of whom she was pris-
oner for three weeks when she
was a girl of fourteen.
Mrs. Smith was captured af-
ter the killing Of her parents
and all members of her family
except herself and one brother,
who escaped after the Indians
had left him, as they supposed,
dead. Mrs. Smith was sold by
her captors to an Indian woman
Suana who was one of the few
Indians friendly to the whites.
Suana gave her pony for the
young girl, who thus became her
adopted daughter. With face
stained, and dressed in an
ornate Indian garb, the girl, with
over hundred other white
children, was taken by the In
dams along the line of march,
covering a distance of many
miles, The tales of cruelty and
hardships endured by these chill
dren almost passes belief, and
the marvel is that any of them
survived.
| After the releasing Of the
prisoners at Camp Release, Mrs
Smith was taken to Mankatc
where she identified the Indian
who was responsible for her cap
ture and the murder of her par
ents, this Indian. being among
the number hanged.
Mrs. Smith is now nearly sew.
enty years of age but still has
a keen recollection of all the
agony of those days. While here
she visited all the historic points
in the vicinity making a specia
trip to the monuments at Nor
ton where she recently caused
the name Of her Indian moth
err" Maggie Ross Suana, to b.
engraved upon the monument
erected to the memory of thu
friendly Indians.

In speaking Of the tragedy
which resulted in Mr.. LANDER

lished at st. Peter which was
his boyhood home, has the fol.
lowing to say:
'Mr. Lamberton was the pro.
prietor of the transfer line al
Redwood Falls, and also the
owner of a garage. On the day
before the murder he and his
eldest son, John, accompanied by
Mr.. Lamberton's nephew, Hen
ry Lamberton, son of Mrs. An
ma Lamberton Of this city, wen
to Minneapolis to get a new Hud
son automobile. Mr.. Lambertol
drove the new car back from
Minneapolis, and reached Red
wood Falls about 2:30 o'clocl
Sunday morning. When they en-
tered the garage Mr.. Lander

was out on drive and he sen

McAdOO Speaks
(By Review Leased Wire.)

AMARILLO, Tex. Oct, 20. - Three thousand heard Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo speak on the Lib erty loan here tonight He arrived from Colorado Springs on a belated train which was held here 30 minutes over schedule time in order that he might urge upon Panhandle people the imperative needs for buying bonds. He left on the same train for Fort Worth and Dallas. where he is sched- uled to speak Sunday
 The train, which was two hours late, was met by a brass band and a multitude of people. The distinguish ed speaker was escorted by local bankers and business men to a plat form of a wholesale house facing an open lot upon which the thousands had gathered.
 The secretary who was introduced by Congressman Marvin Jones of this district. after paying tribute to the loyalty of the Panhandle in sending hundreds of men voluntarily to the war and responding liberally to the first issue of Liberty bonds. launched into a story of theintrigues of the kaiser as intercepted by the Wash ington officials.
 Audience Amused
 He amused the audience after he had told them the kaiser had con- spired with Mexico to secure the lat ter's participation in the war by of fering Texas as Mexico's part of the indemnity of the war.
 The conditions leading up to the war, the great autocratical power of the kaiser and his sinister efforts at world conquest were barred by the speaker.
 In Contrast
 In contrast he showed how the American people are the government and the officials only servants.
 Then he drove home to the audi ence the fact that if they are the government. every member of the gov ernment should support the nation by lending the government money. espe-
