Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of Chicago's First Great
Tragedy.

Anniversary of Chicago's First Great
Tragedy.
One hundred and six years ago to-
day, on Aug. Z, 1912, Gen. Hull issued
an order for the evacuation of Fort
Dearborn, which occupied a site now
in the heart of the city Of Chicago.
Eight days later the order vas carried
out, and then followed the first great
tragedy in the history of the Windy
City-the massacre by the Indians or
the garrison and the burning of the
fort which was then the far western
military post of the infant republic.
For Dearborn was a small stockade
at the bend of the Chicago 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, n to the
South, West and North only a lone
some wilderness inhabited by warning
redskins, who daily threatened the
lives of the little band of troops and
traders at the frontier post. Great ex-
element followed the receipt of Gen.
Hull's order to abandon the fort and
retreat to Detroit or Fort Wayne.
and household stores and other.
vehicles were provide for carrying
the women and children and the sick.
Capt. Head, in command of the fort,
set for himself the task of conciliating
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 killed and mu-
tilated. Hostile bands lowered con-
stantly about the fort, and 1t was as
much as a mans life was worth to
venture far alone.
The evacuation order, issued on
August 7, was carried by Winneman,
an Indian runner, to Capt. Head, and
reached him on the Afternoon of the
ninth of August. The message in
structed Head to distribute the gov
ernmen.'s property among the Indl-
ans as the price of safety. These in
structions were carried out, the red
skins took the goods offered them, and
then at the first opportunity killed
the givers. Those who were not slain
were taken captives and subjected to
the most f1endish tortures. Some of
the captives escaped, among them
Capt. Heald and his wife. One SOL
der who was wounded was cared for
by the Indians and Joined the tribe,
marrying several Indian maidens. A
monument to the memory of the
massacre victims was erected by the
late George Pullman. and occupies a
site at the foot of Eighteenth street,
in Chicago.
