Lewisburg Chronicle, Thu, June 26,1884

There is a very bright and interesting girl, in the Lincoln Institution School, at Wayne, near Philadelphia, named Lizzie Spider, the last being her father's name, which she assumed, a custom the girls nearly all follow. A few years ago she was at thr Indian school at Carlisle, a pupil, where she learned considerable. When she went back, during the summer vacation, her father sold her to a young Indian brave, for a number of ponies, which is the accustomed form of marriage among the Sioux. She had just received enough education to revolt against the savage life that was to be thrust upon her, so she ran away and lived for many months hidden in the woods, going by stealth occassionally to the huts of friends to get supplies of food. Dring his last visit to Yankton, Captain Pratt heard of her and after a search found her and brought her back with him and put her in the Lincoln school, where she now is. She says she don't want to be sold for ponies and to cook and work for a savage lazyboots.
