SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 4.-When Mrs.
Rosamond Sutherland. wife Of George
Sutherland, the newly elected Senator from
Utah, was ? years old she had a narrow
escape from death at the hands Of Indians.

Utah His family consisted Of his wife,
five children. a hired man and hired girl,
II years old On oct. IS. 1890 his home
was attacked by Ute Indians. At tho
beginning the hired man. Joseph Lilly
white was wounded in the chest. and he
remained helpless spectator of what fol-
lowed.
Lee was able TO shoot three OF the Indians
in their first rush and then lie and Mrs.
Lee and the older children strengthened
the defence Of the doors and windows and
prepared for a fight TO the death. The
logs Of which the cabin was constructed
furnished absolute protection against
bullets.
