INDIAN TREACHEHY.
Results in a Fight Between Big
Foot's Band and the Soldiers.
35 Soldiers and Over 100 Indians
Killed,

Last Monday at Wounded Knee Creek,
near Pine Ridge Agency, for the purpose
of disarming the Big Foot band of Indians,
Col. Forsyth ordered the Indians to come
toward away from the tents. They came
and sat in half circle until counted. The
dismounted troops were then thrown
around them, Company X, Capt Wallace,
and Company b, Capt Varnum. The or
der was then given to twenty Indians
to go and get their guns. Upon return
ing it was seen that only two guns were
had, and detachment at once began to
search the village, resulting in finding 3S
guns being found.
As this task was about completed, the
Indians surrounded by Companies X and
b, began to move. All of sudden they
threw their blankets to the ground and be-
gan firing rapidly at the troops not twenty
feet away. The troops were at great
disadvantage, fearing shooting of their
own comrades. The Indian men, woman
and children then ran to the south, the
battery firing rapidly as they ran.
Soon the mounted troops were after
them, shooting them down on every side
The engagement lasted fully an hour and
"A half. To the south many took refuge
in a ravine, from which it was difficult to
dislodge them.
Tuesday night was one of terror at Pine
Ridge. Word was received early in the
day that the Indians intended to attempt
to capture and burn the agency at 8 o clock,
just before the moon rose At the
appointed time about 100 warriors appear
ed on the hills, fired two shots and disap-
peared. This was all that occurred during
the ght

however, as if we were to have lively
time for few days, and that the Indians
will get partially what they deserve.
From Gen. Miles statement it appears
that over 100 Indians were killed in Mon.
days battle, and 35 soldiers killed and 40
wounded. Other reports say that the re
cent battle and skirmishes has cost the
lives of $50 Indians.

The prairie fire last Friday did no
damage after leaving the point from
which 1t started, Mr.. Lomhelm's house,
in Hartford. 1t appears that a young
daughter of Christopher Lomheim' 5
arose in the morning and built fire
in the straw-burner but neglected to
turn the damper in the stove-pipe,
which, with the heavy wind that was
blowing allowed the burning straw to
pass up and out of the pipe. The
sparks set the house on fire and when
discovered it was too late to eXtinguish
the flames or save any of the contents,
All of Mr. LIS household goods, cloth
ing and so in money was burned, leav
ing him nothing but one cow. Mr.. l..
is now stopping with his son, James.

been gwen into their hands. Able edi-
torials filed the Republican papers,
and the machinery of the Grand Army
was used to increase the excitement.
While enemies taunted the deserter
friends implored Mr.. jackson to speak,
but to no purpose. Entreaties and abuse
seemed to pass him by with equal lack
of effect. When he appeared at public
meetings-for as soon as the county COM
mittee had decided he should not with
draw the squire showed he was not
afraid to face any music going-there
was at first disposition to hiss on
the part of some who were there. This,
however, was speedily put down by the
majority. It was impossible for these
people, among whom he had lived true
and blameless for many years, to toll
crate open disrespect when shown to
him, and once the man got hearing
there was little danger of his audience
thinking OF aught save his spoken
thoughts
Mr.. Gardiner, shrewd as usual, and
since that talk with the squire respect
ing him as he never had before, was the
first to see the tide had turned, and see
ing rejoiced greatly. 1t became appa-
rent as the days went on, and the first
shock wore of, that the impassioned ap-
peals and able denunciations were rapid
ly losing their effect. Three days before
the election speaker who began dia-
tribe against 1.-THE coward" and traitor
was fairly hissed into silence. Men said
to each other that while desertion was
mighty bad thing, no doubt, this squire
said it was right for him to desert, and
likely as not he knew. Others thought
the man could never have deserted be-
cause he was afraid or disloyal; it was
not in him. Once the reaction set in it
grew as rapidly as the feeling at first,
and when the results Of the election
were declared there were many who felt
no surprise.
For it was Judge William Truesdale
jackson now, and his majority was
larger than that Of any candidate on
either side. Where3t Mr.. Abner Z.
Gardiner smiled and chuckled. and

In the month of May, 1871, a woman
lay dying in the little cottage w)s:un used
to stand on the old "main road" just
outside the then limits of the town OF
Lynn. Kneeling by her bedside was a
boy Of about ten years, and on his head
the wasted hand Of his mother rested,
the fingers twining gently through his
hair. She was speaking-this mother
who was passing away-and the boy
drank in every word. She told him in
feeble and broken sentences his little
sister had no one but him to look to for
protection. and she asked him to promise
that so long as he should live that pro-
lection would be given. Satisfied by the
unspoken pledge in his eyes as be looked
at her, for she knew what he was, she
spoke of the comfort he had been to her
since his fathers death; of that father
who had been taken away so suddenly,
and of her own joy at the prospect of
seeing her husband once more. Her sor-
row, too, at leaving her children dwelt
in her mind at times, and then he tried
to soothe her by telling her he would be
brave and true. And so with q prayer
for them on her lips she became silent,
and the boy knew when he once more
looked at her that the ears that had never
been deaf to him were deaf now.
The two Willie, aged ten,
and May, aged not quite half year
were not left penniless. Their father.
DIR. William Jackson, had accumulated
o little money, and their mother had
owned property when she married.
Their only living relation. brother o:
Mrs Jackson, lived in New York, and
he at once asked them to come and live
with him. For five9years Willie went tu
the New York schools and May grew
up into as charming a little girl as one
could find. Then Mr.. Truesdale died.
leaving his money to his nephew and
niece, and Willie made up his mind they
would move back to Lynn. Here they
lived in the house of their guardian,
Judge Black, and Willie in due time
went to Harvard, and, winning his de-
gree in arts, passed into the law school.
He was singularly old for his age.
Even as boy he was grave, self con-
tanned and generally silent, and he cared
little for the amusements which filed
tho time of his fellows. lie was exceed
ingly fond Of reading, and fairly de-
voured all the books he could find.
Studying hard, he stood well up in his
classes at all times. but it was not until
he got into the law school that he really
showed the stuff in him. To the mind
of Mr.. Jackson-it was curious how soon
the use Of his first name was dropped by
