Romance Makes the Life of a Sussex Girl Almost
a Moving Picture Story

ther of the Siwash Tribe of Indians
a son who one day was destined to
take his fathers place as head of the
tribe and later make his mark among
civilization. Little did Chief Red
Horse and his squaw realize, when
their little son was playing about the
reservation, that he had in him the
making of a great man of their tribe
and was possessed of brains which
would make him the equal and in
many instances the peer of hundreds
of their white brethren.
Chief Red Horse died a few years
ago at Orange Cove, California, at
the ripe age of SO years, and just be-
fore his death he came to realiza-
ton that his son, Law Redwing, was
on the road to fame and honor among
the white race. The life of the boy,
according to his own story, reads like
| fiction, but he is pleased to relate it
and is proud of the fact that Indian
blood courses through his veins and
| that through the great aid of the Unit
| ed States government he has been
able to take advantage of the wonder
/ full opportunities offered members OF
his race at the Indian School at Car
Isle, Pa. The boy, on account of the
advanced .age of his father early in
life, it is said, became chief of the
tribe for five years.
Law Redwing graduated from the
Carlisle Indian school, according to
his story, and from there went to
Berlin, Germany, where he attended
the Berlin University and graduated
in medicine, class of 1915. He lived in
Germany five years and on February
26. 1911, married a German girl, whose
death occurred on May 16, 1917. Re-
turning to America, it was no longer
plain Law Redwing of the Siwash
(Sioux) tribe of Indians, but DR.. Law
Redwing. Not satisfied, he says, with
knowledge he attained at Carlisle and
the University of Berlin, he was de-
sirous for more and subsequently he
took a course at the Columbia Univer-
sity of New York.
After that he states that an Office
was opened at 54OO Seventh Avenue,
New York City, and later one at 1925
Germantown avenue, Philadelphia.
He began the manufacture of medi-
cine and the offices in New York and
Philadelphia were used as distribut-
ing points. At the same time he plac-
ed a medicine company on the road
known as the Redwing Medicine Com
pany.
With his business pretty well es-
tablished, he states that motion pic
lures were an allurement to him and
he started playing with the Vitagraph
Company, according to his story. He
did not remain in pictures, long, how
ever, before he returned to the medi
cine business, which he is engaged
in at the present time.
DR.. Redwing has made six trips
around the world, spent six months in
Jerusalem, one year in Calcutta and
Australia and has visited every state
in the union and every country in
South Africa. For several months he
was the interpreter for the Argentine
being able, he states, TO
speak twenty-five languages.
A few months ago, while boarding |
in Philadelphia, a short distance from
bis office, he met pretty Alberta Lee
twenty-five year old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Kitchens, re-
siding at Hebron, three miles from |
From the first he fell in
love with her and as the girl was
boarding at the same place they were
thrown in contact with each other
two and three times each day. Their
devotion to each other was noticeable
to the other boarders and it was not
long before the general opinion pre-
vailed that Redwing was going to
claim the Anglo-Saxon beauty. Their
devotion continued, but Miss Kitchens
came to her home, near Georgetown,
md was not thrown in contact with
Redwing so often. A correspondence
was maintained and several weeks
ago he made his first visit to lower
Delaware. Since that time he has
made repeated visits to the home of
Miss Kitchens, and incidentally has
1een combining business with pleas
Ire.
A few weeks ago DR.. Redwing and
Miss Kitchens became engaged and
