Indian Outrages in Minnesota.

On the och ult family FAMED Dus =
tin, travelling over the Minnesota plains,
were assaulted by Indians and some of ,he
number murdered. Two days after the
bodies were found, presenting horrible
spectacle. The St. Panl Daily Press SAYS ::
Amos Dustin the father, was sitting in
the front part Of the wagon, dead, with
An arrow sticking in his body, aud a
deep wound in his breast. probably made
with tomahawk or war club His left
hand had been cut off and carried away
by the Indians.
beneath his seat crouched little child
Of six years. who had conc eaied herself
there when the attack was male The
life blood other father had streamed down,
covering her face and clothes, and her
shoes were literally filled with the blood
that had trickied from the mangled body
She saws that the Indians saw her and
looked quite sharply at her, but did not
offer violence. 1t is probable that she is
mistaken about this, As she is the only
member of the family uninjured, and from
the displays we have had of savage fe-
rocitv we should not infer tha. they would
knowingly spare victim in their power.
In another part Of the wagon lay the
corpse of Mrs. Dustin, the grandmother
of the children. An arrow was in her
body also. and her head was hanging over
the side Of the wagon, her long hair dis
heveled and streaming in the wind filed
with the clotteG blood that had flowed
from her Wounds ....
The mother, and child twelve years OF
age. were in the wagon, still alive but SO
badly wounded that no hopes are enter
tanned of their recovery. For two days
they had lain and suffered beside the dead
bodies Of their friends, unable to procure
| .ustenance or assistance.
