BALTIE - SALLIE Mariposa Gazette, July 1, 1876 MARRIED. – At Mariposa, June 27th, 1876, "Baltie," big Indian Chief of the famous tribe of Chowchillians, to Miss Sallie, a large voluptuous squaw, antecedents not given. This is Captain Baltie's third wife, all bearing the same name. The captain and his former wives have been famous about town for their skill and industry at laundry work. He is pretty well advanced in years, and as the saying goes, "looks like a bar of soap pretty well used up after a hard day's washing," We will not be surprised if this last Sallie does not "cook his goose." Since the above was in type, and ere the honey moon had passed, Baltie prosented [sic] Sallie with a severe flogging, and says she does not compare with his former wives. The promise of another divorce case for the next Court is promising. -- Thomas and Paulette Hilk 1725 Wildwood Ct. Merced, CA. 95340 E-mail address: paulette@elite.net
