By ELMO SCOTT WATSON kMERICAN Indian day, which is being celebrated on September 26 this year, is a day for honoring the virtues and achievements of the original Inhabitants of this continent.-I- n connec- tion with that celebration it is worthy of note that an enduring monument has recently been erected to one of the greatest leaders of the red men and that plans are under way for erecting a monument to the memory of another. Down near Cache, Okla., in the shadow of the Wichita mountains where he spent the last years of his life, both red men and white gathered a short time ago to unveil a monument to the memory of Quanah Parker, chief of the Comanches. The monument was made possible by congress, which appropriated $1,500 for the purpose some time ago, but this memorial came into being through the efforts of a patriotic woman, Mrs. Lena Banks of Cache, Okla., for whom its completion represented the paying of a debt of gratitude. Many years ago lived near Cache. Mrs. Banks parents One day her mother fell ill and lapsed into a coma from which her family feared she would not recover. Chief Quanah, who was their neighbor, came In while the mother was ill. Looking at her, he turned to Mrs. Banks father and said: All right, judge, you wait. Me be back pretty quick. Mounting his horse he rode away, but returned within a short time with some native medicine which he administered. Then he remained by the white womans bedside until the cr'sis had passed and her recovery was assured. Quanah died February 23, 1911, and was buried on a high knoll in an Indian cemetery near Cache. Several years ago Mrs. Banks visited the cemetery and found that the Indian chiefs grave was unmarked, although a large memorial had been placed over the grave of Cynthia Ann Parker, his mother, a short distance away. The white woman who remembered with gratitude how the Indian had saved her mothers life immediately began to work on the project of erecting a memorial over his grave. She enlisted the aid of the Oklahoma senators and congressmen and after many vicissitudes saw her ambition realized in the monument which now marks Quanah Parkers grave. The story of this Indian leader is one of the most romantic in all American history. Although he was a great war chief of one of the wildest tribes of the plains, Quanah was not a Indian. He was the son of an Indian father and a white mother. The story goes back to the early thirties when John Nathaniel Parker led a party of settlers into' Comanche county in Texas. Associated with him were several brothers with their wives, sons and married daughters. For two years they lived In peace In their new home. Then, one morning when most of the men were in the field, about GOO Comanche warriors swooped down upon their fort, destroyed it, killed most of the colonists who remained and carried off a number of women and children. Among the captives were a girl of nine, Cynthia Ann Parker, and her brother, John. One day in I860 Major L. S. (Sul) Boss of the Texas forces attacked a Comanche village at the head of the Pease river. The Indians, taken by surprise, scattered in ail directions.
