Indian Abduction Trial Lands Bride in Flight
A 19th century frontier tale recounts a farmer from Geary who brokered safe settlement for emigrants, including the Falconer family. Their daughter Bessie, engaged to a local farmer, is abducted by a lazy-eyed Indian but rescued by her intended and neighbors. The pursuers wound the offender, who hides in a dugout and escapes at night. The wedding is postponed due to the incident and the brain fever that followed. The piece blends local lore with notes on society and other items.
