This Academy is situated in one of the most
healthy sections of Solano county, and being on
an eminence in the rear of'the town, receives,
through break in the Montezuma hills, the
cool refreshing breezes from San Francisco bay;
thus making the climate most agreeable and
healthful one. The thoroughly furnished class
rooms well appointed dormitories mushrooms,
studios. exercise grounds, etc., together with
the advanced course of learning and varied ac-
complishments, in which young ladies are SO
DESTROYS to excel, have attracted students from
far and near. From nearly every county pupils

San Jose and even Nevada. Several of the
former pupils are engaged in teaching, both in

dreadful scene. The following night Nv
more wounded prisoners were tomahawke>
i To return to the field of massacre: In the
meantime horrible scene had been en-
acted. A young savage, climbing into the
baggage-wagon containing the children Of
the white families twelve in number,
tomahawked the children of the entire
group. When Captain Wells, who was
lighting near, beheld it, he exclaimed: is
their game butchering women and chill
dren then I will kill. too So saying, he
turned his horses head and started toward
the Indian camp near the fort, where they
had left their squaws and children. Sew
eral Indians pursued him as he galloped
along. He laid himself fat on the neck
of his horse, loading and firing in that po-
sition, as he would occasionally turn on his
pursuers. His horse was shot and he seri-
ously wounded, but died from stab in the
back. He killed eight Indians in the
fight Captain Wells tomahawk is now
the property of the Calumet Club.
Non-commissioned officer Walter Jordan
says: 'First they shot the feather off my
cap, next the epaulet from my shoulder,
and then the handle from my sword. The
chief taking me by the hand and speaking
English, said: Jordan, l know you; you
gave me tobacco at Fort Wayne. We
won't kill you, but come see what We will |
do with your Captain So leading me to |
where Wells lay, they cut off his head and
put it on long pole; while another took |
out his heart and divided it among the |
chiefs and ate it raw. Then they scalped |
the prisoners and gathered in ring with |
us fifteen poor wretches in the middle. |
They had nearly all fallen out about the |
divide, but my old chief, the White Rae
coon, holding me fast, they made the di-
vide and departed to their towns. They
said to me if would stay and not run |
away, they would make chief of me, but |
catch me and burn me alive. | amused |
their confidence and fortunately made my I
escape from them on the 10Th of August,
and took one of their best horses to carry
me, being seven days in the wilderness,
and was joyfully received at Fort Wayne
on the 10Th. On the 28th they attacked
the fort, and blockaded us until the 18th
of September, when we were relieved by
General Harrison"
Nine soldiers of the garrison eventually
reached Quebec The other survivors are
largely unaccounted for. They were either
massacred or made slaves by the Indians.
John Kinzie's family Che afterwards max
ing his escape) and Mrs. Helm were
saved through friendly Indians and half
breeds, and four days after the massacre
were taken north toward Canada. Many
of the atrocities committed are too fright
full for description.
The day after the massacre all vestiges |
of the fort and surrounding cabins had |
been swept away by fire, and the site of |
Chicago remained a waste wilderness from |
1912 to 1915, when the soldiers came back |
to rebuild the fort and renew the signs of !
civilization.
