Old Time Native Justice: A missionary residing among a certain tribe of natives, was one day, after he had been preaching to them, invited by their chief to visit his wigwam. After having been kindly treated and entertained, and being about to depart, the chief took him by the hand and said, I have a very bad wife. She had two little children. One she loved well, the other child she hated. In a cold night, when I was gone hunting in the woods, she shut the hated one out of the wigwam, and it froze to death. What must be done with her? The missionary replied, She must be hanged! ...Ah! said the chief, go, then, and hang your God, whom you make just like her.
