Miss Gardiner had been purchased by the Yankton friendly Indians, whose intention it was to take her to the Missouri river and deliver her over to some of the military officers there. She isa young lady scarcely more than fifteen years old, of lees than medium statare, slight figure, modest and unassuming in her deportment, but quite intelligent and pleasing in her addreas, and with the exception of her bronzed complexion, beara no traces of the hardships and outrages she has undergone. I list- ened to her story from her own lips, which, omitting many little details, is substantially this:— The family, consisting of her father, mother, sis- ter, brother-in-law, two or three small childrea and herself, formerly residents of Seneca county, N.
