Over in Burr’s pasture, near Park avenue, Auburn, almost within stone’s throw of the “little brick schoolhouse” with which almost every citizen of Auburn is familiar, is a canvas tent which is occupied not by an open air cure patient, or a camping out party, but by a real Indian and his wife.

For three seasons they have lived in the neighborhood and this winter they are to live in a log cabin which they are to erect very soon on the spot now occupied by the tent. Summers they have spent at Popham Beach where their work found a ready sale.

When the Sun reporter asked the Indian his name he replied, “S. G. Acquin,” and upon request spelled the surname. His first name he says is Stephen or Etienne which is the same name in the French language.
