Two Girls Eloped With Indians.—The Columbus Fact states that recently a band of Indians gave performance in Somerset, Ohio, and that two girls, sisters, were so captivated with the "dance and the whoop of these sons of nature," that they asked permission to accompany them, which being gallantly granted, they proceeded as far as Putnam, where they were overtaken by the mother of the girls, a spry widow, who called on the police to aid her in recovering her "wild-going" daughters. But alas for a woman's resistance whose appeals when pressed in that eloquence and those signs of natural affection and simplicity which these native sons of the forest could bring to bear! After a little "talk" and a private interview with the chief, the mother discharged the police, and made a third "willing heart" to follow the Indian "men" to their western camp.
