"The Indians are marching on Sank
Centre, get your teams out and hur-
ry to Sank Centre as fast as you
can"
That was the message which
brought the first news of the Sioux
: uprising in Minnesota to the set
tiers of this locality in 1862. 1t was
the message which caused a stampede
of frightened people into the COM
munity and resulted in the erection
here of Sank Centres historical
stockade.
George Fairfield, a settler living
on the state road in the vicinity OF
Alexandria, was the Paul Revere OF
the Indian outbreak. 1t was Fair
field, who riding relay horses, travel
ed through the country from st. Paul
to Alexandria, stopped at every cab
in along the route, arousing the set
tiers, many of whom, in the country
south of here, barely left their homes
in time to escape the ravages OF the
Sioux, some of whom only left their
cabins to look back from short dis
lance and see their homes in a mass
of flames and to hear the war whoops
of the savage, while they hurried in
to the nearest community center to
seek protection in numbers.

at about 2 p. M, on a Sunday.
1.-TWO families had come through
to Grove Lake for the purpose OF
holding religious services, Silas Pet

Westport and Mr.. VanEtten, who
lived at the foot of Grove Lake,
about two miles from our home.
"The services were over and my
mother had served dinner to them
all, and they were ready to return to
their homes, when my uncle and his
two friends appeared, telling the
awful news. Our family and Mrs.
VanEtten and children rode in Mr..

in their own with their OK team. A
few of our household goods were
loaded in Mr.. VanEtten's wagon and

In acknowledging of his new title

delivered an address upon the occa-

An example of the durability

the life of the man.
Endowed with an unusual constitu-

Moore was capable of undertaking
things which the average man would
hesitate to approach.
During the erection of the mill
dam here, Mr.. Moore took leading
part in all of the manual labor. He
never permitted a man to lead him
in this work and on one and various
occasios, after working up to his
waist in water all day, Moore would
saddle his horse "Billy' and ride all
