responsible mob, so I sent for Colonel
Bibb, who was in command of the post.
ION his arrival we went down and
haranged the crowd and pleaded with
them not to cast such q stain on the
government and on the city by such an
act of violence against all the rules of
civilized warfare After much plead
Ing we succeeded in dispensing the
citizens of Montgomery, who had as
sembled to assist in the execution.
But the Spaniards from Pensacola
were not so easily dissuaded from their
purpose. They continued to fill up on
mean whisky, and in a short time they
began gathering in front of the hotel
again. and Colonel Bibb and the pro-
prietor of the hotel advised me to get
the prisoner out Of the city as soon as
possible.
Il learned that the next train for At
lanta would leave ut o'clock in the
morning, so that l must do something
to avert the tragedy and keep my pris-
oner safe from harm until train time.
General Dow remained perfectly cool
and self-possessed, although suffering
from the wound made by bullet which
had passed through the fleshy portion
Of his right arm, and did not appear
at all disconnected by the danger that
menaced him.
Leaving the hotel by back door,
we picked our way carefully through
the garden, and slipping through gate
into an unfrequented alley, we made
our way to the railway yards. Loca-
ting the mixed train which was to pull
out at O'Clock, obtained permission
to enter a box car, and, folding our
blankets, we lay down on the floor Of
the car, having securely fastened the
door, and awaited the time of leaving
In all my war experience | never
passed such an anxious night as that,
and | never felt safe until we had
passed the outskirts of the city and
were speeding away toward Atlanta as
fast as steam could carry us. When
! arrived here I turned General Dow
over to Coon Mitchell, feeling that all
danger was past, and he accompanied
the prisoner to Richmond and turned
him over to the authorities there.

periences during the war, but l was

YOUNG GIRL MURDERED.
Her Stepm other Confesses the Crime
at the Corcncr's Inquest.


at the Ccrcncr's Inquest.
Louise Wollert, II years old, was MUIR
dered in her own home at Algonquin, ILL.,,
Tuesday morning. Her step-mother, Mrs.
Christian Wollcrt, at first said a tramp
had shot the girl. She said he called and
asked for breakfast and when Louise
turned to ask her mother if she could feed
him he shot her in the back. This was at
first believed, bat the woman's actions
and lack of grief aroused suspicious. FL
nally, while the coroner's inquest was in
progress. she confessed to the murder.
She would not at first give any motive,
but little by little it was drawn from her
that she wanted the girl out of the way
because she feared her testimony in q
suit for divorce now pending. The girl
had two bullets in her back and one in
the right arm, and another had grazed her
temple. It was evident from the appear
ance of things and the blood marks on the
floor that struggle had occurred. After
shooting the girl Mrs. Wollert, it is be-
Eeyed, set fire to a mattress with the in
tention of burning the house. The wom-
an was taken to Woodstock and lodged
in Jail.

Raiding.

Raiding.
There is an uprising in the Seminole na-
ton. Two hundred and fifty braves went
on the warpath Tuesday and left trail
of blood and ashes. The Indians are seek
ing to avenge the recent burning of Lin
coin McGeisey and Palmer Simpson, two
Indians of the Seminole tribe who were
accused of numbering Mrs. Simmons at
Maud DostofIice, in Oklahoma.
The redskins went to Maud and massa-
cred twenty-five men, women and chill
dren of the homesteaders. After killing
every white person they could find they
fired the town and it is in ashes. Many
Of the victims were scalped by the saw
ages. and other bodies were otherwise
mutilated according to Indian traditions.
The redskins then marched on EarlSboro,
o. T., swearing vengeance on every white,
regardless Of age, sex or condition. Their
march through the country was marked
at every point by bloodshed and fire. The
Earlsboro inhabitants had been warned
and train conveyed every woman and
child to Dallas. A train was dispatched
bound for the scene of the reported mas
sacre under orders from Federal Judge
Springer and having on board all the
available deputy marshals under command
of Capt. Brady. The Secretary Of War
was wired to order troops from Fort
Reno. The general officers of the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma and Gulf road ordered out
a special train from Shawnee bearing vol
unteers armed with Winchesters to inter
cept the Indians and prevent further
b!oodshed. There is general alarm
throughout the Southwest and grave fears
are entertained for hcmesteaders on the
border
