 The evacuation order, issued on Aug. z, was carried by Winnomac. an In- dian runner, to Capt. Heald, and reached him on the afternoon of Aug. g. The message instructed Hea1d to distribute the governments property among the Indians as the price Of safety. These instructions were car ried out. the redskins took the goods offered them, and then at the first Op-, portunity killed the givers- Those who were not slain were taken cap- tives and subjected to the most hend- ish tortures. Some of the captfvef escaped, among them Capt Heald and his wife.

CENTENNIAL OF CHICAGO'S
 FIRST GREAT TRAGEDY

One hundred years ago to-day on August z, 1912, Gen. Hull issued an or der for the evacuation of Fort Dear born, which occupied a site now in the heart of the city of Chicago Eight days later the order was carried out, and then followed the first great tfa- gedy in the history of the Windy City
 -lhe massacre by the Indians of, the garrison and the burning Of the fort which was them sthe~far western mili- tary post of the infant republic The centennial will be dttingly observed on August 15 by the Chicago Historical Society and similar bodies. The grim outlines of the tragedy are set forth on a tablet located at the corner of Michigan avenue and River street, in Chicago, which reads as follows:
 This building occupies the site of old Fort Dearborn, which extended a little across Michigan avenue and somewhat into the river as it now is. iEss.The fort was built in 1903 and 04. forming our outmost defense.
 By order of Gen. Hull it was evac- uated Aug. 15, 1872, after it's stores and provisions had been distributed ,atnong the Indians. Very Soon after Wbout fifty of the troops and a num- Der of citizens, including women and children, and next day burned the fort In 1816 it was rebuilt, but after the B1aekhawk war it went into grad- ual disuse and in May 1884, was aban- doned by the army, but was occupied by various government officers till 1857 when it was torn down, excepting, a single building, which stood upon this site till the great fire of Oct. g, 1S7L
 s'tAt the suggestion of the Chicago Historical Society this tablet was erected Nov. 1880, by W. M Hoyt' :,
 Fort Dearborn was a small stockade at the bend of the Chica go river and had been in existence only "a few years when war broke out between Great Britain and the United States. In front was Lake Michigan, and to the South and West and North only a lonely wilderness inhabited by warning redskins, that daily threatened the lives of the little band of. troops and traders at the frontier post. Great ex citement followed the receipt of Gen. Hlfll's order to abandon the fort and retreat to Detroit or Fort Wayne Wagons were loaded with provisions and household stores, and other ye- hicles provided for carrying the wom- en and children and the sick. Capt. Heald, in command of the fort, set for himself the task of the concilia- ton of the Indians, but with little success On Aug. 6. the day before Hull issued his evacuation order, two of the settlers near the post had been
