| Description Continued | George Winter was told this story of tragedy in an Indian family by Jas. B. Scott, who was a youth in 1836, when it occurred. An Indian was returning from Logansport with his wife, his wife's sister, and his child when he demanded some money from his wife. When she refused, knowing he would spend it on whiskey, he stabbed her to death. He then fell asleep, and the dead woman's sister killed him with an axe taken from Joseph Barron's woodpile. She then rode off, possibly to Chicago. Scott and other curious residents of Logansport came out to view the gory scene. Although General Marshall, who was Indian agent at the time, attempted to trace the woman, she was never found. Such a revenge is considered proper by Indian custom. |
