made known to them through an in
terpreter Rev. Mr.. Riggs, one of
the Sioux missionaries. Through the
interpreter Colonel Miller addressed
the prisoners in substance as follows:
''The commanding officer at this
place has called to speak to you upoc
a very serious subject this afternoon.
Your Great Father at Washington,
after carefully reading what the wit
nesses have testified in your several
trials, has come to the conclusion that
you have each been guilty of wantonly
and wickedly numbering his white
children and for this reason he has
directed that you each be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, on next
Friday, and that order will be carried
into effect on that day at ten O'Clock
in the forenoon.
"Good ministers, both Catholic and
Protestant. are here, from among
whom each of you can select your
spiritual adviser, who will be permit
ted to commune with you constantly
during the few days that you are yet
to live. -
The occasion was one of great
solemnity, yet but little emotion was
manifested by the Indians. A half
breed named Melford seemed much
depressed in spirit All listened atten-
lively, and at the conclusion of each
sentence gave their usual signal OF
approval. At the reading OF
that portion of the warrant
condemning them to be hung by
the neck the response was quite
feeble, and was given by only two OF
three. Several of the condemned
smoked their pipes during the read
ing and one in particular, when the
time of execution was designated
Quietly knocked the ashes from hi
pipe and filled it afresh with hi
favorite kinnikinnic, while another
was slowly rubbing in his hands
pipeful of the same article, prepara
tory to a good smoke.
"While Father Ravoux was speaking
to the Indians, and repeating, for tn
! hundredth time, his urgent reques
, that they must think to the last of th'
! Great Spirit, before whom they wer

eral massacre in the country above,
and back of that point, many of them
leaving portions of their families
murdered, or in the hands of the saw
ages. Some stopped in the town,
others fed to st. Peter and points be-
low. An indescribsble panic at once
seized upon the inhabitants of this
hitherto quiet German town. Many
of them Immediately sent their women
and children to ST. Peter for safety
and, at about midnight, the stream of
frightened fugitives was filling that
place.
During all that night and the next
day the Indians overran the country
around, numbering the inhabitants,
burning the buildings and stacks of
the farmers, and driving off the horses
and cattle; and, about four o'clock on
the afternoon of Tuesday a party of
mounted Indians appeared on the out
skirts of the town, in the rear of the
first table-land, lying parallel with
the Minnesota river, and dismounting
advanced at once upon the place.
The people were gathered together in
the buildings, in the center of the
+, village, perfectly panic-stricken and
nearly helpless. Their arms were most
of them unfit for use in fight, and
they were in a seemingly hopeless
condition. Fortunately for them 6
party of eighteen men, well armed,
from Nicollet and ST. Peter, had
reached the town at about one O'Clock
that day.
AS early as the 10Th day of August
upon the first news of the outbreak, {
meeting of the citizens was called a
Mankato for the purpose of forming {
military company for immediate ser
vice against the savages. A compan.
was formed in pursuance thereof
comprising eighty-two men, officer
and privates, and the captaincy wa
bestowed by the company upon Will
