Plenty of Speed
Shown By
This Girl

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 27.--Di-
vorced, her second marriage an
nulled and welded for the third
time-all in less than an hour,
was. the record established here
by Mrs. Martha Essex Wolfe, 16-
year old girl of Indian Village,
court records disclosed today.
Discovering that she was leg
ally the wife of Earl Essex after
her marriage to Gilbert Wolfe,
the girlwife started suit in the
Lama county court to get a dl-
vorce from husband No. /. At
the same time suit was started to
annul her second marriage be-
cause Of legal entanglements.
Married to Essex when only 16
years old, Mrs. Wolfe said that
her first husband disappeared.
Thinking her first marriage an
nulled the girl went to the altar
with Wolfe last October 4.
After the divorce from her hus-
band had been granted, the girl
remarked Wolfe.

Three days and three nights she
had been streached by one foot and

paralyZed now. Today she propels
herself over the ground like a crab.
The officers are not through in
vestigating her case yet. But they
had to let it go until they got their
prisoners-Atol s murderers back
here for trial.
Now, however, they are going
back to that wild country of uncan-

team, canoe and on foot, to try to
bring to justice Madeline s perse-
cutors and stamp out forever the
primitive cruelties of her people.

VANCOUVER, b. c., Dee. 2G.-
The Canadian government is deter
mined to stamp out witehcraft
among the Nomad Indians in Brit
ish Columbia's far northern wilds,
They are believed to be the last peo-
pie on the continent who practice
it.
The first definite step in that di-
reetiou already has been taken with
the arrest of five members of the
tribe charged with torturing to
death q II year old boy and the
brutal manning of young girl
Both victims; contend the abort
gines,. were possessed of "evil
spirits. - '1te
Arrival of party Of Canadian
Royal Northwest Mounted Police
here with the prisoners follows
thrilling hunt starting last June and
extending up to the frozen arctic
wastes, where even dog teams had
difficulty ia travelling.
Four Of the Indians are men. The
fifth is n girl with baby in her
arms. All soon viii be brought to
trial.
Last spring rumors of the primi-
tive eruelties of the tribe began to
reach the ears of the watchdogs -
of the north.
Almost Got Inspector
u
and Constables p. w. Neville and
c. r. Martin were delegated to
make the trip up to the Telegraph
Hin district to investigate.
They set out in June, making their
way first on horseback, then by ca
noe, later by dog sledge and finally
afoot.
Weeks later they arrived near the
.Nomad S camp. 1t wasn't long UNI
til the Indians discovered their pre-
sence, for bullet came whizzing
through the inspector tent.
Although a crack shot the inspec-
tor refrained from returning the
fire or saying anything about the
shooting, To have done so would
have meant the failure of his mis-
sion.
Through strategy, he finally was
able to obtain confessions that led
to the arrests.
And from them this much was
learned:
Early last spring the Nomads be-
gan to find fishing poor. Then they
turned to hunting with equally as
little success. Traps were set, but
they were empty when the hunters
visited them.
Atol Alone Was Lucky
The wise men of the tribe grew
suspicious. Even their greatest
hunters reported they could find
nothing.
Gossip began running through the
camp that an "evil spirit" was
lowering about. IF it were not des-
troyed, surely the tribe would per-
ish of hunger.
Now it happened that in the camp
was a. lad called Atol, or Moccasin,
Of somewhat delicate constitution,
he was given much to his own com
pany. That alone was bad.
Again it was related how he man
aged to catch fine fish and had re-
markable luck on the hunt.
The rumor spread that Atol had
an evil spirit" He used it, argued
