Two Noted Indian Women.While Kil-So-Quah, the princess oi the Miamis, a$ the age of 101, was running down through Indiana in an jautomobile to witness a spectacular reproduction of the battle of Mississi-newa—fought in 1812—Eva Geronimo, aged 20, last of the children of Geronimo, the famous war chief of the Apaches, was dying of consumption in the military reservation at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Kil-So-Quah is the only survivor of the famous battle. She is a niece of Chief Little Turtle, who commanded the war party of the Miamis. Kil-So-Quah represents the 'Indian’s real mode of life. She was a woman and an old woman—practically, before the days of civilization came upon her. The daughter of the Apaches with the blood of one of the greatest fighters of a generation in her veins represented a child reared out of her sphere. She succumbed to a disease of civilization before she was well started in life.
