GAVE HER FLESH
To Save a Young Sisters scalp-A Youth
ful Heroine's Sacrifice.


ful Heroine's Sacrifice.
One of the most remarkable surgical
operations in history, and at the same
time a great act Of heroic self-sacrifce,
was seen Thursday afternoon at Grace
Hospital, Detroit Last Saturday Ma
tilda Oresch, ten-year-old girl, had her
entire scalp and left ear wrenched off by
her hair getting caught in a shaft.
Attempts to place the scalp back
and make it grow were futile
and they tried a new method. The
wound was so large that it would re-
quire a tremendous graft to save the
child. The little ones sister Emma.
twelve years old, who knew what was
wanted, offered to spare her skin for the
purpose. The doctors decided that to cut
the flesh of and put it on would not do.
the only way being to make the flesh
live on the one from whom it was taken.
They put both girls under the influence
of chloroform, and then cut piece Of
flesh eight inches long and five inches
wide from Emmas side and breast. That
is, they cut all but one side OF it. The
loose end was then stitched to the flesh
on Matilda's head, and the two little
ones bound together so that they could
not pull apart. Heroic little Emma will
be tied to her sister by these bandages
four days, in which time the doctors ex-
pect the flesh to knit to Matilda's
head Late Thursday night both little
ones were conscious and Emma was
evidently suffering much pain, but She
said, heroically, that she did not care
if it only saved her sister. 1t is the
first case on record whore a graft of this
size has been made, and the whole med
ical fraternity is watching the case with
great interest.

THE INDIAN HuR.RuR
Fiot TO Ambush Troops Said to Have Been
oFerheard-Cavalry and Artillery Order
ed to Pine-RIdge.

Hlot 20 Ambush Troops Said to Have Been
oFerheard-Cavalry and Artillery Order
ed to PineRIdge.
An Omaha Bee special from Pine
Ridge Agency says: The first knowl-
eoge that the ghOst-dancers had COM
menced plotting to entrap the soldiers
was brought to Indian Agent Rover
/ by VIM. McGaa, formerly an Indian
scout, and now a wealthy rancbman
living in tho vicinity of Buffalo Gan
McGaa was travelling overland on horse
back and alone. He enjoys a wide
friendship among the Indians generally,
and Saturday night stayed at one of the
lodges about midway between this point
and Buffalo Gap. He had placed very
little dependence in the reported scare.
and therefore felt no fear in
lying down and going to sleep
In tepee full of bronzed-faced
Indians Notwithstanding he noticed
that they were all fully armed. A little
curiosity, however, prompted him to
feign sleep and keep his ears omen dur
ing the early part of the night. Tho
result was that he secured information
as startling as it was valuable, and that
removes every vesUige of doubt as to tho
blood thirsty villainy which has taken
possession Of the ghost dancers. After
he had been in bed some little time. a
couple hours or more, one Of the redskins
bent over him to discover whether he
was asleep. To all appearances he was.
Then he heard them get up and begin
whispered consultation. For the first
time in his life McGaa says he al
most doubted his own ears. The
Indians with whom be had lain down to
sleep with a feeling Of utmost secur-
ity were deliberately plotting to
lead General Brooke and his soldiers
into an ambush and shoot them. Their
plan, as McGaa heard from their own
lips, is to continue the ghost dance IN
til the troops try to stop it. The place
selected to carry out their murderous de-
sign is place sixteen miles and a half
north of here, and more advantageous
locality for such devilish deed proba-
bly, does not exist any where else on the
face Of the entire continent General
Brooke has ordered a large body Of
troops to Nashville. Sunday, companies
E, F, G and H, of the Second Infantry,
commanded by Captains Amos, Vito,
Keller and Clarke, left Fort Omaha
on two special trains, and will reach
Nashville at { a. m. Monday. Compan-
les a, and G of the Twenty-frst In
fantry from Fort Siddis, commanded by
Lieutenant Brooks and Captains Eb-
stein, Duncan and Boyer, the whole in
charge of Lieutenant Colonel Poland,
are now enrOute by special train from
Columbus, Neb., to Rushville. Colonel
Guy Henry, with one troop OF the Ninth
Cavalry from Fort McKinny, is also on
his way there. The other troops in this
department Of the State are under
marching orders, and can soon be cen
tered at the scene Of trouble. This
move is intended, first, to cut off raiding
parties il any leave the reservation,
and, second, TO support Major Buffers
command at Pine Ridge, should he need
reinfOrcements

DANGER NOT OVER.
The Indians Are Massing For an
1890 Attack,
But Troops Are Hurrying Onward to
Check Them-General Miles
Quiet Tactics.

A dispatch from Rosebud Agency. s.
Oak, dated November 70, says: When
the Indians on this and the Pine Ridge
Agency wake up tomorrow morning
they will find themselves surrounded BY
the strongest body of United States
troops which has been mustered into
the West since the defeat of Geronimo.
1t can be predicted that if some -unfor-
tunate act on the part of the soldiers
does not add to the excitement of the
redskins the threatened uprising will
not occur 1t is now plain General
Miles has not boon idle during the past
week, for the troops now arriving come
from most of the posts in the West. Small
detachmenLs have been moving in this
direction for the last three days, and the
whole has been so smoothly and quietly
done that not word of warning has
reached the Indians. This great move
ment viii be known to history as tho
masterpiece of strategic Indian warfare,
although not a gun be fred during the
whole trouble. Doubtless the quick re-
spouse Of the army will entirely quiet
the bucks now in such a fever over the
strange Ghost Dance" 1t would be
impossible for the Indians to mount and
start out upon depreciation, for morning
will find them completely in the possess
sion Of soldiery-sO completely, in fact,
that not oven madness will furnish
them an excuse to 20 upon the war-path.
General Miles says that he has every
confidence in the Judgment, discretion
and energy Of the department command
ers and the troops under them. In
dams are scattered over several hundred
miles of territory, and they aggregate
in round numbers 5000 warriors The
troops which are scattered over this ex-
tensive territory number about 5000,
and not more than !, 500 of this number
are effective mounted troops, F" concluded
the General.
