the awful sight of thirty-eight human
beings suspended in the air.
Imagination will readily supply what
we retain from describing.
"After the bodies had hung for
about half an hour the physicians of
the several regiments present examined
the bodies and reported that life was
extinct Soon after, several United
States mule teams appeared, when the
bodies were taken down and dumped
into the wagons without much cere-
mony. and were carried down to the
sand bar in front of the city, and
were all buried in the same hole. The
half breeds were buried in one corner
of the hole, so that they can be dis
inferred by their friends.
"Everything was conducted in the
most orderly and quiet manner. AS
the drop fell the citizens could not re-
press a shout of exultation, in which
the soldiers joined. A oy-soldier,
who stood beside US, had his mother
and brothers and sisters killed; his
face was pale and quivering, but he
gave shout of righteous exultation
when the drop fell.
"The people, who had gathered in
great crowds, and who had maintain
ed degree of order that had not been
anticipated, quietly dispersed as the
wagons bore the bodies of the murder
ers off to burial. Few, we take it,
who witnessed the awful scene, will

HISTORY RECALLED.
The Execution of the Sioux Indians
Graphically Described.

The massacre in Minnesota, by the
Annuity Sioux Indians, in August,
1862, marks an epoch in the history Of
savage races. In their westward march
across the American continent, in the
van of higher civilization, the native
red men have, at different times,
given sad and fearful evidences of
their enmity to the dominant white
race but, from the landing of the Pill
grim Fathers on the rock bound coast
of New England, in the winter of
1920, until their descendants had pass
ed the center of the continent, and
reached the lovely plains of Mime
sofa, no exhibition of Indian character
had SO afflicted and appalled, the soul
of humanity as the fearful and de-
Iiberate massacre perpetrated by them
in August, 1869.
On Monday morning, the Is b of
August, party of men, citizens of
New UIm, left that place to recruit
for volunteers, under the call of the
President of the United States, for the
Union army in the South When
some seven or eight miles west of
New Ulm they came across several
dead bodies of white persons. lying in
the road Becoming satisfied that it
was the work of Indians, they turned
to retrace their steps. While on their
way back to the town, and while yet
some miles out, party of Indians fir
ed upon them from an ambush by the
roadside, killing several of the party
and two of their horses. Those no.
killed made their escape to the village
and gave the alarm. AT about the
same time Frederick Belisle, French
man in the employment of the govern
ment at the Upper Agency, accom-
panied by two other young men, hat
left New Ulm, with two-horse team
for the Lower agency. With them wa
man with one-horse wagon. Whel
near the Travellers Home, sever
miles above New Ulm, about fifty In
QlanS were OUsoIFou A0oA eh0 Aoou'
and as Belisle, who was ahead, cam
opposite to them they fred, killing al
three of the men. The man in tn
other wagon turned and fled back t
New Ulm, reaching there about tn
same time that the remnant of the re
cruiting party from toward the Cotton
wood returned. AS he fled along tn
raad he saw the Indians shoot a ma
on a stack of grain, and at the sam
time he saw them pursue and kill tn
men who were gathering grain in th
field.
The people from the surroundin
country soon began to pour into an

crowded after him, as if it was race
to see who would get up first. They
actually crowded on each others
heels, and as they got to the top each
took his position without any assis-
tance from those who were detailed
for that purpose They still kept up

there would be piercing scream
The ropes were soon arranged around
their necks, not the least resistance
being offered. The white caps which
had been placed on top of their heads,
were now drawn down over their
faces, shutting out forever the light of
day from their eyes. Then ensued a
scene that can hardly be described,
and which can never be forgotten. ALI
joined in shouting and singing, as it
appeared to those who were ignorant
of the language. The tone seemed
someW hat discordant, and yet there
was harmony in it, Save the moment
! of cutting the rope it was the most
| thrilling moment of the awful scene.
And it was not their voices alone.
Their bodies swayed to and fro, and
their every limb seemed to be keeping
time. The drop trembled and shook
as if all were dancing. The most
touching scene on the drop was their
attempts to grasp each others hands,
fettered as they were. They were very
close to each other and many succeed
ed. Three or four in a row were
hand in hand, and all hands swaying
up and down with the rise and fall OF
their voices. One old man reached
out both sides, but could not grasp a
hand. His struggles were piteous, and
affected many beholders.
"We were informed by those who
understood the language, that their
singing and shouting was only to sus,

ALI the vast region over which
these savage monsters swept in their
desolating march was abandoned by
such of the inhabitants as survived,
and in one week from the morning OF
the 18th of August all that scene of
smiling beauty was an utter desola-
tion, and from position of comfort
and plenty those many thousands OF
flying fugitives were reduced, many OF
them, to utter want and beggary.
During that entire week, over all that
wide region, the midnight sky was
red with the lurid flames of burning
buildings and stacks of the hardy
frontier men. The losses by fire were
immense. The household goods of
these people, including even their
personal clothing, were either carried
away by the Indians or broken up
and utterly destroyed.
After the campaign of 1852 was
over, and the troops had gone into
winter quarters, and the participators
in the savage massacre had been
found guilty by military court, in
stituted for that purpose, the question
arose whether all those condemned
ought to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law. Three hundred and three of
them had been recommended for
capital punishment. These were con-
fined at Camp Lincoln, between Man
kato and South Bend, on the Mime
sofa river, to await further orders OF
! the general government. The idea of
executing, capitally, 800 Indians, MUIR
derers though they were, aroused the
sympathy of those who were far re-
moved from the scenes of their inhu-
man butcheries and the president was
importuned beyond all reasonable
bounds by interested friends, for the
release of these savages. Eastern
papers, in numerous instances, gave
countenance to Indian sympathizers
The voice of the blood of innocency,
crying from the ground, the wailing'
of mothers bereft of their children
was hushed in the louder Cry of sym
pathy for the condemned.
J One singular phenomenon was no

engaged in open war, such as the law
of races or of nations tolerates, their
advocates might have claimed for
them the rights extended to prisoners
of war. But these savages had de-
clared no open war. They had secretly
conspired against the lives of men,
women and children in a time of
peace, when the hand of genuine
friendship was extended for their re-
lief. There is wide difference be-
tween the killing of men in open war
and brutal massacre in time of peace.
The former may be excused, or per-
haps justified, while the latter must
be condemned by every moral code en-
titled to the least consideration.
The tide of sympathy, however, roll
ed on, and the persistent appeals to
the president were finally successful
In place of 309, condemned by the
military court, only forty were ordered
by the president to be executed. The
sentence of one of these was after
wards commuted for the penitentiary,
and one died natural death, leaving
the number to be executed thirty eight.
Mankato was in a more critical con-
dition for some time than any other
place on the Minnesota river. The
Winnebagoes were located in its i'm
mediate vicinity, and Little Priest,
one of the chiefs, with some thirteen
men, was known to be in consultation
with Little Crow, and constant COM
munication was kept up between these
men and the Sioux. The whole tribe
of Winnebagoes were in the most
violent agitation, holding secret coun-
ellis and war dances, ominous of some
, impending outbreak among them.
, The town of Mankato had no troops
, at the time to defend the place. A
company of citizens had been raised
} and sent forward to the defense OF
New Ulm, on Wednesday, the Goth OF
August, three days after the outbreak
) and had the Winnebagoes chosen al
that time to attack the town it mus
have fallen an easy prey to savage
ferocity. Nor did the danger of thi'
occurrence cease with the advance O
the army, under Colonel Sibley tt
