The Texans galloped around the bull
and easily dropped rope over his

out on the prairie and cut the cap

his feet than he expressed himself as
anxious to set out and attack old Lame

to be avenged upon her cruel and

in the mouth at the door of his tepee.
Miss Menefee rode in the column by

wedding guests once more assem- bled,
and the lovers who had experienced
such horrible cruelties at the hands of
the COmanches, pllgh ed their faith to

who had faced danger before in many
forms were making desperate
efforts to restore order and infuse a
spirit of courage in the meu and
assuage the fears of the women
when suddenly a great light flashed
over the yard, and 1T was discovered
that the roof of the house was a sheet
of flame. Barison then performed an
act which entities him to be forever
remembered as hero. He stepped
into the yard and asked for Lame
Wolf. The old man answered him.
Then in the Comanche tongue young
Barison told the chief that he would
surrender to him to be tortured and
burned at the stake to make a Conan
che holiday. sif he would permit the
remainder Of the white people to
march away unmolested to their homes.
He was answered by shower of bull
lets, one of which struck him. He was
not badly hurt, and, springing inside
o: the house, he ordered the men to
form in two lines, with the women and
children between them, and march out
at once. The Indians sent a shower of
arrows andsbullets after the little
column, but the white people succeed
ed in reaching Il point of timber where
they made stand for moment. The
Indians charged them, and Barison
was knocked do wn by spent bullet.
The white people then fed in confu-
sion. Miss Menefee ran to her lover
and attempted to lift him up, hoping
to be able to carry him away on her
y giant savage knocked
her down and made both of the young
people prisoners. They captured and
killed many women and children, and
after burning several OF the settlers
homes they rounded up bunch of
horses and started back toward the
mountains.
BarisOn, who was not seriously
wound ed. was dashed to the back of
pony and the animal was turned loose
and driven..as if be had pack on his !
back. The Indians knew him, and |

lauces, and laughingly told him of the |

fate in store for him at the stake. At
ter march of several days the war
riors reached their village on the
Llano Here the prisoners were given
g. little food and tied to trees near the
camp. On the next evening, while the
warriors were holding q council to
determine the manner of torturing the
prisoners, lot of young bucks gallOped
into the village, driving a large buffalo
bull. They mad several ropes on the
animal, and BarisOn learned from their
talk that they had struck herd of
buffalo, and that after killing all they
wanted, they had rOped one in the
spirit of Geviltry. The Indians had
been puzzling their brains to devise
the most tiendish, inhuman, possibl
torture for their captives, and when
Old Lame Wolf saw the wild buffalo
he was SUI denly struck by an idea that
pleased h N immensely He told
Barlson that he would give him and
his white squaw ride. They lost no
time in executing their design. The
prisoners were unbound and led near
the buffalo. The hOrsemen had strung
the animal out between two trees by
the aid of rawhide ropes attached to
his legs and horns. Using stout strips
of r4whide, they securely bound Bari
son and the young girl to the back of
the enraged animal.
They fastened strips of the rawhide
around the bulls neck aud body, and
then to these they tied the prisoners
arms and legs. Old Lame Wolf aud
his daughter danced about in per-
feet ecstacy of frantic joy. The whole
tribe mounted their ponies, and at II
word from the chief, the buffalo was
cut loose. He made a desperate lunge
at the horses nearest him, and then
started down the valley at the top of
his speed Now, the Indians had no
idea of letting the bull and their
! prisoners escape. They followed the
animal yelling like demons, and rain
ing arrows on their victims. Fortunate

evening, and the buffalo ran into o

dark and the victims no longer heard
the savage yells OF their pursuers.
After long time-seemingly years to
the young people-the animal emerged

each other: I'VE might escape yet, "
when a new and fearful danger startled
/ them. Some of the arrows had wound
ed the bull, and he was leaving trail
of blood behind him. A pack of hun
CRY wolves had struck this trail, and
| they were in hot pursuit of the animal.
The bull evidently heard the wolves,

The recent death of Mrs, Molly
Barison, at her home at Rio Grande
City, in Texas, will cause all old
Texans to recall one of the most horri-
bic pieces of cruelty ever perpetra! ed
by the Comanche Indians.
10 1885 old Capt Meuefee settled on
one of tae Yeguas arou5 thirty miles

He had large family of boys and girls

warned him that be was exposing them
to great danger by locating SO far out

men who could be depended upon to
fight for old "massas's" family. AL
though the COmanches raided the set
Element nearly every full moon, they
had never disturbed Capt. Menefee's
house, and he began to feel pretty safe.
His daughter, Molly, was quite belle
on the frontier, and she had many
suitors for her hand. In the fall of
1886 she became engaged to young
man by the name of Eugene Bari
son.
Providence had crowded into young
Barison's short life almost as many

years of age he bad been captured by

vantages they gained over the red
warriors to young BarisOn's knowledge
of the geography of the country and
his skill in following the trail. Lame
Wolf found an opportunity to send the
hoy word that he had given orders to
his people to take him alive. He in
timated that Mr.. Barison was devoid
of gratitude, and said that he int ded
to cure him of his siu by flaying him
alive and burning him whole day.
Lame Wolf bad a daughter who Was in
love with young Barson, and it is
possible that a woman's jealousy and
spite had much to do with the terrible
cruelties to which the young man and
Miss Menefee were afterward subiec-
ted. 1t seems that the Indians, and
especially the family of Lame Wolf.
kept well posted as to the affairs of
young BarisOn. AT any rate, they knew
that he was to be married on certain
day, and about that time they made a
raid on the frontier in greater force
than usual.
The guests were assembled at the
house of Capt. Menefee to celebrate
the marriage feast when the alarm was
sounded that Indians We're in the
neigh borhood. The sky was already
lit up at several different points by the
flames from burning dwellings,. 1t was
known that there were many families

young BarisoD, with ten or twelve men,
should set out at once to gather all the
people that he could ana bri ng them to

hardly mounted before volley of but

for new wants, to make new nece ssities
which anchor us to one place because
we cannot be comfortable elsewhere.
