Stoddert, dated June IS. 1916.
g Last Tuesday night. about the rising

the house of Mrs. Fisher, about IS miles
below this place, on the eastern bank of the
river. Three Of them fred oil the Cboc-

TREY fired at the door, upon which her
daughter catching up child. escaped at
the opposite door. and the Indians rushed
" and fell upon the old woman with clubs.
Her cries only excited the taunfs oF the
irdians, whose conversation in the Greek
language was heard by her distracted
daughier. The old woman was left for
dead bat the daughter got to canoe and
escaped with the child TO the swamp on
the western side Of the river, where she
soon saw the house buried in flames. Mrs.
Fisher, however. was nat actually dead.
but was enabled to save herself from imne-
date destruction. Mr.. Myrie. in whose
employ her son was, had them all hruuobtI
up in boat Yesterday evening. | have
just been to see them, but found the poor
Old woman dead she died last night. She
bad been disabled in her hin, her fingers
we're miserably mashed and her head con-
sIderably fractured. The whole of their
furniture. clothing and provisions, were
burnt with their house. Every family an
the same side ofthe river is equally expo
sed.
Mrs. Fisher, was sister to the late MIR. |
Stiggins. Her father was Cherokee and
her mother one of the old Natchez tribe
She bad lived with the white people IN.
wards Of 20 years, and her husbands. (both |
OF whom are deadly were white men. She
bad not seena Greek Indian before, since
the commencement Of the war, and rad no |

that they we're Greeks"
