Indian twins and guardianship amid 101 Ranch show tale
A neighborhood report recounts removing infant twins to a federal agency with a guardian appointed by Zack T. Miller of the 101 Ranch. The twins later joined the ranch show under a pale-face nurse while the father failed to reclaim them. The piece notes bitter Indian customs, including killing the dying by smothering, contrasted with white medical care. A parade is announced for Monday at 10 o'clock moving through State Street to Fairfield Avenue and to the grounds.
