Shcridan's First victory.

II was in November, 1888. The Indians
had attacked the block house at the Middle Cascades
and had the inmates badly whipped and In Imminent
danger OF being massacred Mt any moment. courier
was sent flying away 30 Vancouver, where Sheridan
held the fort at that time, calling for Immediate as
sistance. Everything about the post was thrown into
great commotioD In the hurry and hustle OF speedy
departure. Sheridan ordered an ol1-fashioned iron
cannon to he placed board little steamer, and In
a remarkable short space OF time was steaning away
up the Columbia. Arriving at the cascade the can
non was put shore and taken to q position on the
bank OF the river In the range OF thebecagnered block
house, which surrounded by yelling sayages. In
the excitement OF the moment the gun was placed
near the bank and loaded very heavily. The order
was given "A fearful boom, which crashed and groaned
throughout the mountains was heard the cannon
kicked over the bluff and went splashlng into the
Columbia, twenty feet below. The artillery
silenced and sheridan stood perpexed. His chaSrin
turned 10 Joy as he Deleld the bayages running
with all their speed for the mountains yelling only
savages could. They had never before heard the re-
port OF a cannon, and imagined the judgment day had
come. Sheridan won his first victory, saving the
lives Of those IN the block house, and probably many
others of the hOsiles would have caused
a raid down the river Some OF the said the In
dians did not quit running until they had crossed
snake river, IN Idaho.
