BLOODY INDIAN BATTLE.
We conclude our article on Red Rock by
narrating the fact, connected with bloody
Indian battle, which took place in the year
1912, three and a half miles this side Of the
camp grounds. 1t should be remembered
by the reader that the Sioux and Chippewas
have been at war from time i'm
memorial, and in this case the
Sioux had killed four Chippewas, and
the latter were on the warpath for re-
venge The Chippewas passed along be-
yond place on the road leading to the
camp ground, now kept by a man by the
name of Neeco, and as the visitor passes
beyond this house he comes down upon a
small bridge which spans ravine. In this
ravine and close to this spot some $50 Chip
pewa Indians camped and sent out twenty
five of their best warriors to recOnnoitre the
ground, and these Indians, discovering two
Sioux women and a girl working
in the field, fired, killed and scalped
them. The name of one of the women was
CANNED. The Sioux at Kaposia, on the
west side of the river, hearing the report of
guns, crossed over, and, as MI. Ford says,
being under the influence of whisky, began
the pursuit OF the enemy up the ravine,
very poorly armed, and some with no arms
at all, the Chippewas falling back to where
their comrades were concealed in ambush,
when, at the proper moment, they dashed
up and opened a vOlley on their foe, and
twelve men were killed outright and eight
fatally wounded, so that the eight died,
making twenty victims OF this bloody battle,
besides many others who were wounded.
A creek runs through the land where the
battle took place-hence it is called Battle
creek. Inc CnippeWaS, Tearing Llttto GLOW
and his band, fled, and were pursued by the
Sioux two miles, and, as Mr.. Ford was an
eye witness of this scene, the facts as mar
rated can be relied on as correct. The
ravine is plainly visible on the left as you
ride out to the grounds. The Indians
have gone, civilization has come in, great
cities have sprung into being, and near
where that savage battle was fought a BEAU
tiful and consecrated spot is now vocal with
Gods neOnle
