His mother was a white woman who was eaptured by the Conianelies when a small girl aud grew up among the lndians, forgetting her own tong-ue. YVhcn Gen. McKenzie raided the Couianches and captured the tribe in 1874 Quanali I'arker's mother, who had been taken a wife of the chief, was among the number. All that she could remember to identify herself was her name - Cynthia Ann Parker. She was finally located as being f rom Jackson county, Tex.. where she was joj-ously received by her family, after having been looked upon as dead for many years. She took her son, now Chief Qunnnh Parker, with her, and had him educated. Later he returned to his tribe. He is a tall, fine-looking Indian, buthe shows no trace of his white blood. The favorite of his five wives alwa3's accompanies him on his journeys, as does his j-ouug son, both of whom are now in this city. Chief Quanah Parker is quite rich in cattle and money, and is looked upon as one of the most intelligent of the Indian chiefs.
