SAVED BY A MIRACLE,
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A MANDAN INDIAN


ster bull, herd of bisons. with heads
down and tails erect, coming like a
tornado. They were coming with a
mighty rush, and in the cold air the
particles of snow flew as if moved
by. whirlwind. Quick as the
Indians caught sight of the oncom-
ing rush they left poor Mandan
to his fate, leaped on their
ponies and struck out north with the
immediate intention of getting outside
the rushing stream of Infatuated ami
resources, and as l watched the pro-
ceedings, l came to the conclusion that
he would soon join his squaw and
papooses in the happy hunting grounds,
where the Sioux would cease from
troubling him. On came the herd,
past the tall cottonwood, trampling
down every shrub that the smaller herd
had left standing. The air was too full
of kicked-up snow for me to see what
was going on. l went to the door and
there watched developments. In the
mist there suddenly loomed up the huge
form of buffalo. Now it wavered and
fell headlong within ten yards of the
door. Maudan bObbed up from the off
side of the bull and said in his pc
culiar way: Me big Indian. Ugh: me
iio oIOoU puiI, ugh. tllu Tile DuClN III
low held up dripping knife that |
recognized as one that l brought with
me ten years before from York state.
The blade had lonesome effectiveIwork.
1t is impossible to repeat the language
and gestures of Mandan as he de-
Scrlbed the scene at the cottonwood
tree, and what followed. The gist of the
story was that the blow that came near
gaShlng his cheek severed the thong
with which he was bound. But he made
no movement until the Sioux were gone,
and then as the furious bisons passed
the tree to which he was tied he dashed
the severed thong away, liberated his
legs, and, watching his opportunity,
made big leap as bull graZed the
tree, catching his right heel over the
spine OF the beast and thrust his right
arm into his name. Thus he rode.
Indian fashion. for a little way,
and grasping his knife from his
belt with his left hand, he
struck his bounding steed on the left
jaw time or two. and diverted him
towards the house. When, as he cal
culated, he was within twenty yards of
the shack he dashed the knife to the
hilt in the side of the huge beasts and
reached the throbbing heart of the
monster of the plains.
1.-The rest you know. We came to the
conclusion that we were not safe in
that locality any longer, and when the
blizzard subsidized, which it did in day
OF two, we sought other hunting
grounds on the other side of the river,

1t was Thursday afternoon that she got
into this drift. She stayed there all that
night, all Friday and Friday night, a
good deal of the time tunneling as best
she could. On Saturday morning she
saw the sun shining through the snow
ana ana got got out, and by so'elock she reached
her boarding house. | tried to get
doctor from Washburh to come and per-
form the operation needed, but he was
unable to come, and DR.. Bentley,

the toes on each foot, but he says that
she can get shoe so that she will be
able to walk as well as ever when she
gets around again. | knew nothing
about the affair for eight days. l was
at the farm eighteen miles away. Her
school was to have been out on the 18th
OF January, and started to go after her

She has not been on her feet since, and

weeks she will be able to go on crutches.

able to walk nearly as we'll as ever"
In reply to question Mr.. Cook said:
my wife has good constitution. though
this disaster has had bad effect upon
her and has pulled her down good
deal. But she has an iron will and she
is one of the sort that will never say die.
AS the doctor says, there is nothing
the matter with her but the local
trouble, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that that will give way to the
proper local treatment. Her hands
were partly frozen and were painful at
the time, but they are we'll
again. She suffered the most pain
with her feet after the eighth day.
For two weeks after that eighth day
she suffered pain unspeakable. There
is only one physician in the county, and
as he has not practiced for good many
years, and has not with him the neces-
sary surgical instruments for such an
operation as this, there was nothing to
do but to bring her down here to Bis
marck. | was in the war from Kansas,

gunshot wounds. but never tainted at
anything until | saw my wife's feet. 1
hope never again to see the amount of
suffering that that woman went
through. But l hope that in short
time she will be well again, and you
can rest assured that we have learned a
good deal by this experience as to the
work that a blizzard will do. AT the
same time. the presence of that shell
tering bank was Godsend to her.
''Have | anything against the coun-
try? No indeed. The country is the
best place in the world for the poor
man. Here he has all opportunity that
he can get nowhere in the East. l have
got one of the finest claims in the
West, and have an abundance of coal
of the best quality right at my door. Of
course one has to exercise care, and if
he does not he will meet with disaster
wherever he may be. My wife did not
properly realize the danger she was in
when she went to school in the morn
ing, and she failed also to realize the
greater danger she faced when she left
the school house for her boarding house
in the evening""
