AT the Indian camp, near Fort Clark,
Tex, is living an old negro named Dembo,
who states that he was an orderly to the
great Seminole Chief Micanopy when Maj.
Dade, of the United States army, and his
whole command, except three men, were
surprised and massacred in Florida on Dec
%, 1885. Dembo, in an interview, recently,
said: Maj. Dade'S command consisted of
eight officers and ninety-nine men. The
soldiers had started out for the days march
and Maj. Dade had just mounted his horse
and was eating a piece of cracker when
Micanopy called out to him from his hiding
place on the side of the road. At the sound
of his voice Dade threw up his head, and
Micanopy fired the ball striking him in the
throat and going through, killing him at
once. The soldiers fixed up kind of a pen,
in which they all went, and were killed one
after another"
