The Log School-House on the Columbia

CHAPTER I
12/24

One of the pioneers had caused a sickness among some thievish Indians by putting emetic poison in watermelons.

The Indians believed these melons to have been conjured by the white doctor, and when other sickness came among them, they attributed it to the same cause.

Mr.Mann settled near the old Chief of the Cascades.
