THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA. JANUARY 4, 1912. OUT OF THE SAVAGE STATE Bv DAVID WALTER CHURCH soprright by ‘w— Press Asse- ciation, 1911. From the time America was discov- ered to, say, half & century ago there were repeated cases of white children beinz carried away by ludians and Lruight up in the tribe. Those that | were raised by red men were boys. At any rate, I never read of a girl baving 1+ vived such treatment. Doubtless i .. #irl falling into their hands was killed. Savages are not overburdened w'th respect for the value of women. Yowe forty years ago | was a young I wienant in the —th U. 8. cavalry, @ 1wy principal business about that ..o was fighting Indians. In one of oo v Kirmishes with the Sioux we cap- 1.4l one of the white boys who bad imen brought up as an Indian. He st handsome little fellow, tall and ! t. about fourteen years old, and zinally white skin from having exposed had turned brown. He e’ speak only the Sioux language; coutd not remember any life but that #u Indian, any father or mother or vt relative. When captured he was tating like a little devil. .o colonel turned him over to me to see if 1 could discover his identity. | tuestioned the Indians who had been crtured with the boy, but they knew tething of his antecedents, since they i eaptured him from another tribe questioned the boy himself— h an {nterpreter—and found that . once been shown the which he had been captured and some trinkets that were taken from those | to whom he had belonged. These were u pecketbook, & gold watch and chain #1 various other things the boy could uui temember. They had been kept Ly un old squaw, who received them ui the boy's second capture from an- oth r squaw, to whom they had been riven by the chiet of the tribe who had takon the baby from his parents, Hiving reported this to the colonel, Le directed me to ride undor u iag of tru e 0 the maln body of the Sious, socuic the articles and Lring them ek If possible. e authorized me to Py £30 for them, If necessary. | went to the Sloux camp, purchased the ar- ticles for a song and brought them back with me. Besides the watch and the pocket- buuk was & tintype of a baby, and & resciblance could be traced between it aud the boy. There were also some lace und & bunch of keys on a silver ring. | examined the contonte of the weketbook. It was a long leather one such us 18 used to carry unfolded bills, If there bad been any bills in it they were not there when 1 looked into it There were papers the use of which were very plain to me, but would wern nothing to an Indian. For fn- stance, there was a decd to a lot in the county of Cook, state of Illinofs, There were a draft on a bank in San Frunvisco and two little books that 1 recoguized as savings bank books. | reported the find to the colonel, and he forwarded my report to Wash- incton.
