FORTY YEARSIAGO.
One Of the Thrilling Tragedies d tn
Sioux Indian Outbreak.

The ST. Paul Dispatch, from Sat
urday tC Saturday, is publi,hing
excerpts from ST. Paul pape's Of
forty years ago. On Saturday Feb.
18th last, it published the following
items pertaining to the Indiat. and
military operations in this seetlon
One of the thrilling tragedies of
the Sioux outbreak is related by
Mrs. Higgins, who with he two
little children, Letta. aged -four and
Charlie, aged two have been re-
Gently released from captivity Mr..
and Mrs. Higgins and Miss Julia
Laframboise were employed hy the
government as teachers for tie Da-
kotas at Lac qui Parle. On Aug.
18th, the day after the outbreak.
three Indians from Red Iron village
appeared, each carrying a gun and
seemed quite friendly Abou four
o clock. when Mr.. Hugginsret ned
from the field. he was at once shot
dead The women and ca dren
were then driven away Under
threat OF a like fate. Each carrying
child they fed to a friendly In
el;ee.,4< home, Cd 4 Spirit
The next day they crossed the
river to the home OF Mr.. Lorgee
Here they first heard of the massa
cres at the Lower Agency. That
evening Miss Laframb)ise S broth
er came up from below, dressed
like an Indian, and Disgusting his
sister as a squaw, took her away
with him. After Julia had gone.
Mrs. Higgins went back to Walk
ing Spirits village, two Indian
women carrying the children. Walk
ing Spirit and his wife were very
kind to the little family and proved
real friends in need. When there
were strangers about they we're
hidden in a tent that stood by the
house. After some six weeks word
came that the white soldiers we're
approaching. The Indians became
alarmed and started for the North
Mrs. Higgins was in constant fear
that Little Grow or some of the
northern Indians would overpower
Walking Spirit and take her to a
worse captivity. After travelling
for five days Mrs. Huggings was
gladdened by the appearance of
some of her old Enthusiastically
Indians-who have been sent by
Col. Sibley to bring the captives to
Camp Release. where they stayed
two weeks and regained their health
and strength.
Capt. Mccoy S company, stationed
at Sank Center, has been ordered
to Fort Abercrombie to help receive
the Indians who are expected to
attack that place soon.
Three companies of the Sixth Min
nesota are enroute to Glencoe, while
at Fort Smelling the soldiers, many
of whom are citizens of ST. Paul,
made such frequent applications for
furlOughs to visit the city that it
was thought best to make trans
fer to Glencoe.
The Second Minnesota battery,
Capt. w. A. Hotchkiss, received
high reward from the commanding
officer at the recent battle of Muir
feesboro. When it seemed that all
hope was gone, the men, under a
destructive fire, and surrendered
by the enemy, saved not only them
selves but succeeded in withdraw :
ing all the guns of the battery to a
place of safety Special mention is
made of Lieut.. Albert Woodbury.,
son of Hon. Dwight Woodbury. of
the State senate.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

New York. Oct LIT is unusual for a
wife 10 walk into an Office to pay the
premium on a life insurance policy taken
ont by her husband and to be told that the
money could not be accepted. because her
husband had previously called and ex-
hibited documents showing he had OBJ

my present attorney, have succeeded in
Eaving Judge Dunwiddie set aside the de-
cree given my husband. on the ground
that it was obtained fraudulently and
through perjury"
From the papers in the case il appears
that Mr.. and Mrs. Lyon were married in
SIarch. 1856. and lived together until 1893.
She complained that. though perfectly
healthy and able 20 work. he had never
earned living Tor her. and she was forced
10 support herself. She recites many in

ON December = 1899. she began an action
