to the wagons and burned to death.
The spot is Still marked by a wooden
post and is known as "thc monument"
The other day the Chicago Tribune
received for inspection what is believed
to be a veritable relic of that bloody
massacre. As the fire burned a Ratchet
belonging to the outfit lay near one Of
the wagons Its handle was badly
scorched, but the tool otherwise was
in good condition, except for the hicks
in the edge received by hard usage in
the freighting train. The Indians, it
is said, took this Ratchet with other
plumber and pea a retreat. They were
pursued by the Texas Rangers and,
being hard pressed while crossing
Groesbeclk Creek in Hardcmnn County,
threw most of the plumber, including
the Ratchet, into the stream
About a year ago w. j. Sullivan, the
teamster who escaped from the massa-
ere and later one of the Texas Rangers,
was exploring the vicinity where he
had such a narrow squeak for his life.
Following up the trail Of the Indians
retreat he arrived at the creek, and,
there in the bed of the stream, dis
covered the Ratchet. In its long sleep
Of nineteen years 4 strange change had
taken place. The hatchet had become
%nncrusted with pebbles, which had
fastened themselves firmly to the rusty
iron. There were the dents in the edge
and the scorch in the handle, and Mr..
Sullivan believes that it is the very one
with which he was familiar u score of
years ago.
Whether this be true OF not cannot
be determined, but the Ratchet in its
present condition is a scientific curios-
ity of a kind II does not often see.

In 1873 on the road between Fort
Belkr1p and Jncksborro, where it

were hidden close in ambush. They

Jacksboro, and they hoped to waylay
and kill or capture the great soldier.
He had passed the ambush some two
