THRILLING EXPLOITS AND PIC-
TURES Of STRANGE LANDS.
Cvxthia Pabkbe’b Lint,—A few days ago,
*ay» a Fort Worth, Texas correspondent, there
appeared In one of the city papers an adver
tisement saying that a Comanche chief living
near Fort Sill wanted.to obtain a photograph
of his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker* and ask
ing as a special favor that any one knowing
where such a portrait could be had would com
municatc with him. A. F. Corning, of Mc
Lennan couuty, saw the advertisement, and at
once wrote to she newspajicr in question that
he could furnish the picture. Jle hap]»eiied to
know that an old daguerreotype of the woman
was in existence in Waco, and, taking this to
an artist, he had several copies made, one of
which whs sept to the chief.
Cyuthia Ann Parker was the heroine of one
of the most touching romances of the Texas
border. Her parents and grandparents were
among the pioneers of the state. Her grand
father, Colonel Parker, after whom Parker
couuty was named, was a noted man in his
day. The Parkers lived on an exposed Iron
tier, and though formidable in Indian warfare,
they were frequent sufferers from raids by
savages. About the year 1B40, when the Co
manche* swept over that part ot the state, the
Parkers lost nearly all their property, and
eventually some of them were killed, and
Cynthia, then nine years of age, was taken
prisoner. Many efforts were made to rescue
her-, but all without avail. Several times
parties of brave men iuvoded the camp of the
redskins and searched for the child, and, on nt
least two occasions, lives were lost in tho ef
fort to return her to her family. Every device
was resorted to to gain information
of her. Sometimes for mouths it
would be believed that she had
been killed, but finally a vague, story
would gain circulation to the effect that a
white girl had been seen with & roving band,
and search would be renewed.
When Cynthia was taken captive the savages
placed her in charge of their women, and the
child, finding that she was to bo well treated,
soon came to enjoy the wild life which she led,
and to look upon the Indians as her natural
friends. When her clothing whs worn out she
adopted the savage costume. She learned their
tunlly, having become a sturdy woman, joined
them on some of their raids. Ton years after
her capture found her the wife of the war chief
of the tribe, apparently as contented with her
lot as any of the other women who. were her
constant associates.
Some years after her marriage, when the
Comanchcs ware at peace with th’e setters, a
party of white men entered their camp one day
r.ml found the missing girl, now grown out of
their recollection almost. Two or three chil
dren played about her knee, looking much like
the other youthful aborigines, save that they
were neater in appearance and much more
carefully watched by their mother. When they
questioned her they found that she had olmost
forgotten her native tongue, and it was with
the utmost difficulty she could make them
understand. She inquired After her relatives,
nn/1 asked many questions aboutthe white peo
ple generally; but In reply to a suggestion
that she should accompany them to her
former, home she said she was hnppily mar
ried, had a good husband and nice children,
and could not leuve them. She had made
their home her home, and no other place on
earth would be other than n prison to her.
They left her very much cost down, and on re
turning to the settlements spread her story far
and wide.
For a time the interest in her .case was re
vived, and many old settlers who knew her
father and grandfather threatened to make
war on the Comnnchcs and take her away
from them. Nothing could convince these old
settlers that Cynthia would stay with the In
dians of her own free will, and it was only
after the most emphatic protests by tho men
who had see n her in her savage home that her
would-be deliverers abandoned the idea of
tnkiug her by force. She was finally recap
tured most unexpectedly. Bciue out with n
war party of the Cornnnches in the fall of 1858,
she was cut off from the braves in some man
ner by Gcueral L.'S. Hons, of Waco, and taken
prisoner in company with several other wo
men. At first no one recognized her, but after
hardly palatable, and a bowl of soup, with a
small quantity of meat. Morning and evening
a cup of. tea u allowed, I endured my suffer
ings for two and a half years. Then I com
pletely bro|te down, and the doctor of the dis
trict declared that I was unfit for work. The
rest of my sentence was remitted, and I was
immediately assigned to my place in the
colony. It was in one of the primitive forests
of the north, where wolves, bears and reindeer
dwell. In 1881, toward tho end of May, I re
solved with four companions, to escape, with
out money or weapons, and with only a knife
and teakettle. We took tho direction toward
the Caspian sea, through forests and an almost
impassable country. We had no shoes on our
feet, and kept ourselves alive on fish, game
and mushrooms. In the Tau*kii\n country
wo separated, and, with only one companion,
Marsilli Muraiunoff, I went on. I soon lost
him, and then pursued my journey alone. At
length I arrived at A*trabad and Teheran, in
Persia, where I received assistance. My hair
had grown over my shoulders, my beard ex
tended to my chest, I had neither shirt nor
shoes, and my face was sunburnt almost to a
black color. An English telegraph operator
took charge of me. He had me washed and
f ave me clean clothing. I next-svent through
urkey and thence to Switzerland, where I
was arrested and kept in prison for four
months. Aguin I was arrested in Hesse Darm
stadt, and serv. <1 n term of five months. I
then resolved to find peace in England or the
United States. I met Mr. Bradlaugh in Lon
don, and at his request remained at his house
for four days. Through his kindness I re
ceived menus enough to take me to the United
States. I arrived in New York in January

being taken to Canton, Van Znmlt county,
some close observers expressed theopinion that
she was a white woman. Then the story was
circulated that she was Crnthia Parker, tra
ditions of whose fate still existed, and her
brothers and venerable grandfather were sent
for. The brothers looked at her long and
earnestly, but could not remember her. The
old man, however, identified her as the stolen
girl, ond she finally admitted that he was
right. There wo* great joy over her recovery
on the pert of her relatives ond their friends,
but not so with her. She vainly tried to es
cape, and passed many hours in tears. Rhe
had with her at the time of her capture her
vonngest child, two year* of age, the two eldest
having been Left at home. The little one hod
a smattering of Spanish, and the mother spoke
that language as well a* the Indian tongue
fiuently, but neither knew anything of English.
After u while Cyuthia and her child ac
companied her brother* to their home in
Parker county, where she and the babe soon
pined away and died.
Her two boys who Juid been left with the
tribe grew to be stalwart warriors, haudsome
in form and feature, and more thau ordinarily
intelligent. One of them is now the chief of
the Comanche* in tho iudian territory, a rnau
of great influence with'both the Indians and
the whites, and under whoso guidance his

Russia* Cetritv.—Alexander Seminoff is
the name of a highly educated ltusinu who
has been living in Cincinnati a short time. He
has attracted the attention of scholars, and
gives the following account of his adventures:
“My pseudonym is Charles Frank. My
Hussion name is Alexander Seminal!’. In
1878 T was one of the editors of a secret nihilist
from Wentuerby, Oregon, to a wife whom he
left thirty-five years ago, and whom ho finds
a widow after having been twice married dur
ing his absence. Filly year* ago George
Shafer, who come from Pennsylvania, was a
well to do farmer in Muncie. Joseph Walling,
a prosperous tanner, lived just outside of tire
thon village of Munceytown, n cluster of log
cabins and little houses, with u log court
liou-e. Susannah Shafer, a daughter of the
farmer, was* just growing into womanhood
and young Thompson Walling, the tanner*
■on, became enamored of her, and before f
parents knew the truth, they were pledged
each other. On April 1, 1841, they were mar
ried, and among the guests were a youth and
maiden, friends of the bride and groom, now
Mr. Volney Wilson and wife. The union was
happy. Three children were born to Walling
and his wife, one of whom died, leaving a boy
and girl.
When the gold fever of 1849 broke nut young
Walling became a victim, and, with $500 loan
ed to him by his friend Volney Wilson, he left
for California with Arch Hanul(on,Theo. Burt,
Stephen Hamilton and son, Henry Wynor,
James Hussy, Dr. Hathaway, Charles Me-
Glaughlin, (the railroad king, lately shot by
his employe In Ran Francisco,) Samuel Martin
and others, now prominent citizens of Muncie.
The mines of California and Idaho weio suc
cessively tried, and one by ono the jmrty re-
turned, save Walling, McGlaughlin and ltussy
the latter of whom, with a man named Wood,
from this county, met his death at tho hands
of the Iudian*. Time passed, and letters from
Walling came less and less frequent. In 1852
a letter containing n draft for $500 was receiv
ed by Mrs. Walling. She never heard from
him after that, and his silence was accepted a
proof that ho was dead. In fuel, his father 1
estate at his death was administered as though
young Walling was dead. His wife obtained
a divorce, ana in 1802 married Horatio F. Wil
coxon, who was killed in a taw mill in 18«fl
A year later she married Jeremiah Vouch,
who died two year® ago. Then she lived with
her son near Muncie.
Volney Wilton alone never shared tho belief
that Thompson Walling was dead. For years
he ftpeiit all his leisure time writing letters of
Inquiry to out of the way places on tho Pacific
count. One day in February Inst tho deputy
postftifirter at Wcnthorby. Oregon, saw a letter
postmarked Muncie, I ml,, addressed to the
postmaster. Opening it, be found that it woi
from his old friend Wilson, inquiring fbr him,
He, apsWering, gave tho story of his life and
misfortunes. Then he wrote to his wife, do
wns sent to Siberia for an unlimited number
of years. Nihilism, you may be aware, is
spread all over the Russian empire, and the
peculiar secrecy of its principles and work
ings is mainly owing to the fact that ouly^teii
may join together to form a band. Each
band often knows nothing whatever shout an
other band of ten. Each band works separate
ly. We do not know even outside of our band
who is a nihilist or who is not. After editing
a nihilist paper for two years, I was betrayed
to the police by one of my associates, snd was
surprised one night in bed snd taken to the
prison iu Odessa, after having been cruelly
set-urged. After an eight months* examina
tion, I was sentenced to three years hard labor
in Siberia, ond to exile as a colonist in the ex
treme north of the country.
“In June, 1876,1 was separated, according
to legal form sanctioned by the clerry of Rus
sia, from my wife and children, and with head
shaved on one aide and twenty-eight pounds
of iron attached to me, I was sent with other
alleged criminals to the Central prison at
Moscow. The journey lasted fourteen months,
and during that time tha knout was used freely
,n the prisoners. Our deatination was Nerts-
hinsk. and on arriving were assigned to dif
ferent gold mines. In the mines 1 worked
tailing his sorrows, his efforts to get home, hi*
failures, his ill health, and his final conclusion
that fate was against him, followed by n re
lapse into indifference. Wednesday morning
tho city was electrified to sco him on thostroi-i.
Before noon his son, now almost a middle aged
man, came for him and took him to tho home
of his former wife, where to many friends lie
detailed his romantic experience, which Is al
most beyond belief.
Mr*. Vouch, his wife, expressed herself ns
?lad of his return, and the meeting is said to
[iave been most afVeeting. It is thought r
second wedding will fully reunite theMc
Should it occur, Volney \Vllsori and Ids ' wife
will again hold the pluce of honor they held
almost a half coutury ago.
Ilia Ova Das or. Rous *t Both Exns.—One
ilay last week John McCouth. of Bethel, Sul
livan county, looked out of his front door and
saw a big bear walking leisurely by in the
road. McCouth** gun was loaded with bird
shot. He fired both barrels at the boar, which
stopped, looked back at McCouth, and then
proceeded on his journey. Then McCouth
charged his gun with a double land of lewder
and three bullets. The next day a neighbor
of McCouth’* saw tho bear tramping around
in his rye field. He scut hi* boy out with a
dog to drive bruin away. Tho boy set the dog
on the bean, and it left the field and started
bock toward McCouth’*. The latter waa weed
ing in his garden in the afternoon. He heard
a peculiar snort, and, looking up, saw tho
bc-ur standing a rod or so away in a l*enn patch
watching McCouth'* movements. The ramie
went into hi* house and brought out his gun.
The bear remained pawing about in the beau
patch. McCouth fired. Hi* wife wo* looking
on from the door. The bear and McCouth
both fell, the bear iu its tracks, and the far
mer some feet back of where ho had stood.
Neither farmer nor bear made any effort to
rise. Mr*. McCouth rau out to her husband.
Blood was streaming from his nose, and he was
unconscious. She brought him to by dashing
water in his face. The bear was dead, shot
through the?lungs. The rebound of the gun
had been so great, owing to the heavy charge,
that it had “kicked” McCouth into uncon
sciousness and dislocated his shoulder. The
bear was thin, but very large. The skin was

two, the fascinating enchantress, nee Mis*
Mollie Kerr, will go to Marietta next month
and appear before tbe grand jury of Cobb

she will swear such facts aa will probably re
sult in an indictment, charging the nimble
loper with wedding one wife
too many. It is supposed Ford
will be indicted for bigamy, and if so his trial
will create a big sensation, as the details of his
Second marriage are quite interesting. It fa
claimed that Miss Kerr knew be was married,

as bad h* his, but a crime nevertheless. It is
