AtrociOus Outrases by Indians In
| Kansas. II.
| TO iae1-s T.LoUIs, Aug. 49,
\ - A, letter dated Ellsworth Kansas, Oct
l4th, says on Monday, the 18th, band of
some two hundred Indians appeared on
| Spellman's creek, about 16 miles North
east of Ellsworth. Arriving at the house
of Mr.. Shaw, they caught and beat him
numerically, and drove him away. The
devils then caught Mrs. Shaw and her
sister and violated their persons. Some
thirty or more of them contrived to abuse
these helpless women until long after they
had become senseless, and then destroying
the property left them, for dead. afr / q
They then proceeded to the residence of
Mr.. Smith, beat him in the same manner,
and violated the person of his wife, leaving
her In very critical condition. 1t is feared
the women subjected to these outrages will
not recover. They met and abused several
other citizens by heating, and after Destroy
ing all within their reach left for the north.
These poor women say that for five or six
hours they were subjected to i'll treatment,
and they show marks of the most cruel
usage, made by being beaten in the attempt
to defend themselves. IA
/ A detachment OF twenty soldiers was
sent after the Indians from Fort Harker,
accompanied by fifty or sixty settlers. On
Wednesday night they sent for reinforce
ments, and on Thursday a full company,
under command of Col. Bentine, went over.
The latest report was that Bentine had
come on the Indians, who had some ten or
| fifteen women surrounded in q house, and
that he had driven the redskins away, but
whether he killed any of them or not was
not known. These are probably the sam"
Indians who have been numbering and
committing other outrages on Solomon
creek.
