Wild Virt nf ltinkm.
It take* a great - deal A® stir up
any excitement in the wild \V«ft,
but Colorado is agitated by a
sensation just now, the like of
wliivii haa never before been
known, in the State at lea at, by
that peculiar apeciea of sensation,
lir. U. N. Holbrook, a leading
phyaieian of Denver, haa jnat
covered his twelve-year-old daugh
ter, whom he had mourned for
nine year* aa dead He found
her a wild maiden of the forest,
totally unversed in the ways of
civilisation. Her recovery Was
accomplished in a wonderful way.
A hunter, says a correspondent of
the St Louis Globe-Democrat,
while wandering in the depths of
the Salmon River mountains, far
from the habitations of man, saw
before him a beautiful lake, in the
grandest, wildest, natural settings
giant cedars with pendent festoons
of inos* and towering columns of
granite. A fair girl, unadorned,
unclothed, except by fleecy wealth
, of golden hair, stood waist deep
in tliu water. She looked with a
nervous stare, that betrayed
wild nature. She sprang from the
water and disappeard in a black,
yawning cavern. There might be
such a thing as a mermaid, but he
did not believe in ghosts. He
hastened to the camp. It was
dark when he found his comrades
by a log fire. They were old hunt
ers and knew not fear. The
story of a lone girl in that gloomy
aolitude was related. The flicker
ing flame cast shadows more
Weird; when the owl hooted and
the echoes died away the stillness
seemed oppressive. The three
Kiiurods visited the . lake next
morning. The same fair creature
was standing at the foot of the
cliff beyond the water. She was
clothed in the skins of wild ani
mals ; her hair was blown by the
light breeze in flu Ay ringlets about
her shoulders. She was startled,
looked for a moment and fled.
Tiiey told their story in the
Valiev, and, with the newspaper
man, started out again in search
of the maiden. After hours of
toil they discovered an entrance to
' a subterraneous cave.near the lake.
They hallooed; an echo answered
as from a well. A stir in the
passage and a frightful visage was
seen, with tangled strings of gray-
hair dangling, with blinking, wa
tery, red eyes glaring ns a feeble,
trembling Indian tottered forward.
His attitude wus that ot defiance
os lie placed hiuiscll in the door
ot his dungeon, but the withered
form nnd palsied arm were a
m.serable caricature of the warrior
of fifty years ago. He was pushed
aside. The reckless men rushed
forward guided by a torch,
through a winding tunnel, into a
great cave, with many angular
reccssca and uueven roof and
walls. Corners and columns divi
ded the vast interior into apart-
ments. One of the divisions was
the wild girl’s boudoir. Seated on
a robe, in convulsions of fright,
was a well-developed maiden ol
12 years. The torch dozxled her
eight. She turned her face from
the intruders .and bowed her head
and subbed pitifully. They did
not approach her, hut turned
away and passed from her pres
ence, filled with sorrow and moved
With sympathy, which her intense
emotion seemed to communicate
to enven these thoughtless young
men of the plains. The wilted
old guardian was found to be
dumb. When addressed in the
Kex Perce Indian language he
could understand, but replied
only with signs.
From the description given of
the girl, only by certain marks
upon her body, Dr. Holbrook rec
ognized her as his daughter, aud
left for the mountains to bring
her to his home. When he at
tempted to embrace her he was
hurled back as if he had tried to
embrace a tigress. The Indian
was addressed in h-s native tongue
by one of the cowboys, and gave
signs, after some delay, that he
understood the situation. He
communicated to the frghtsned
child by signs and grunts, and
she settled down on the robe and
started with wild eys at those
around her. As the girl can
apeak no language but a sort of
pantomime the father determined
to bring the old Indian with him
to Colorado.
The story of the girl’s life is
simple. In 1R77 St. Joseph’s i i»*i»
