The Story of a Black Hills Ad.
tehturer.
ST tcuis Snecial to Chicago Times.

81. LOUIS Spcc!aI ~ ChlCaso AI"cS'
Louis Simpson, formerly an cngi-
neer on the Iron Mountain Railroad,
arrived here to-day direct from the
Black Hills country, and tells Of tue
horrible fate which beftll the party
he was with. On the ODD day Of
April Simpson and his brother Lem
left st. Louis for the Black Hills.
The brothers joined a family named
Metz, consisting Of husband and
wife, tlither bound for home in the
new country. with a good outfit. The
party left Cheyenne in wagons, and
took the road for Custer City. When
passing through Red Canon, a short
distance this side of Custer City, they
were surprisedby q band Of hostile
Indians. At the time of the attack
Lew Simpson was in the van wagon
with Mr.. and Mrs. Metz and negro
tcamstcr Mr.. Lewis Simpson and
party were an hour or two back on
the road. At the first fire the Indians
shot one of the three horses drawing
the wagon and frightened the others
40 they were for the time unmanagea-
bic. During the confusion the fend-
ISL yells of the savages 50 dcm"rali-
zcd the negro that he cut one OF the
uninjurcd horses loose and made his
escape. Metz and Simpson in the
meantime had seized their rifles and
returned an Intellectual fire upon the
Indians, who we're concealed among
the rocks. The second volley wound
ell both men, but unfortunately saved
Mrs. Metz for a more diabolical fate.
In a few moments the Indians dashed
upon the helpless whites, murdered
tile wounded men and tore off their
reeking scalps IN sight of the agoni'
zcd woman. But now the hellisll
work began. Praying for mercy the
unfortunate lady was dragged from
the wagon and, deaf to her entreaties,
the red tiends in turn bruta'ly ravish'
ed her person, and then put her t.
death. In u short time tile team In
which was Louis Simpson drove M,
having been appriscd Of the attack
by the negro, when the sickcning de-
tails Of tho horrid butchcry and ont
rage became at once apparent. The
bruises and wounds and tho almost
nude form of the woman told the hOr'
rors other terrible fate. The dead were
buried near the spot where the mas
sacrc occurred, and Mr.. Simpson SCI
about retracing his steps to St. Louis
Mr.. Simpson denounces the Black
Hills as a humbug. Up to the tim'
he left there was not q particle o
proof going to show that gold may b
found in paying quantities: Hundred
