Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 17: April, 1913

The next day she learned that the Indians were to attack the newly discovered settlement that night. A dread of the results of such an attack filled her, and she determined to warn the settlers. Suddenly the way became clear! She would tell the Indians that she was going down the mountain side to gather wild flowers. Once she almost wavered, when she thought of the loving care which the old chief had always bestowed upon her, but a feeling of intense longing Spurred her on. She must accomplish this visit to the settlement if it cost her her life, for think of the lives which were at stake there.

She hurried away in the direction pointed out the night before by one of the warriors, and finally came upon the village, about noontide. She hurriedly told her story and made known the plans of the Indians. She was joyfully received and before two hours had passed, the people of the village were all ready, for departure. And now her dreams were to be realized. With her departure from the village with the white settlers, her old life passed away, leaving all hope for the future new.

And how were things working out back at the Indian Vil lage? As night drew on, and Juanita did not return, great uneasiness was expressed among the tribe. Men were sent out in search of her, and the planned attack on the neighboring village was forgotten in the grief and excitement over the loss of their beautiful white spirit.
