McPhail's Daughter
Recalls St0ckade

"The first school teacher in the
stockade was a Miss Julia A. Will
liams, from Waseca, who taught me
at our house. Martha Webster was
the next teacher and she also taught
later in the public school, which at
first was in charge Of Edwin March
and was held in small frame build
ing.
Edmond Fosgate built the first
house outside the stockade, and my
father, Colonel McPhail, built the Sec
ond, which he placed down in the
grove. Before the house was COM
pleted, father gave house-warming
and dance on my ninth birthday an
niversary. People came from New
Ulm, Lac qui Parle and Yellow Medi-
cine to attend. They went to supper
at the Watson house in the stockade
Martha Watson and her mother pre-
pared the supper.
"This was my first dancing, and my
partner was young soldier, Edward
Newman. I felt quite grown up.
"a short time after we had moved
into our new home an Indian inform
ed my father that he and a number of
other Indians were coming to smoke
the pipe of peace. They came; all sat
down on the floor; the chief took
puff at the pipe, then passed it to. my
father, who, after putting it mo-
ment, gave it back. The rest of the
Indians did likewise.
eve had melodion in the room,
and father directed me to play some
simple tunes for the Indians enter
tainment. l had to sit at the melo-
dion with my back to them, and l
was fearful that they would rise be-
hind me and scalp me-"
Eta McPhail was married when she
was quite young to George w. An
derson. They moved to St. Paul to
reside, and here Mr.. Anderson taught
school until failing eyesight compell-
ed him to forsake that vocation and
open a grocery.
Mrs. Anderson has three sons, James
OF Denver; George of San Diego, and
John of Minneapolis.
When Colonel McPhail entered the
county in May, 1864, according to
historical account, he was accompanied
by 0. c. Martin, J. r. Thompson and
one Dunlap. They were exploring to
find suitable site for settlement.
At night they encamped a mile north
east of the present site CT the village
of Redwood Falls. Well armed, they
dug rife pits at their camp and they
kept guard against surprise attack
of hostile Sioux. That same night,
T. w. Caster and Captain S. A. George
camped on the land that was to be-
come the townsite. They were join
ed the next day by McPhail and his
comrades. The beauty of the land, the
numerous water powers and the char
acter of the soil persuaded them that
was the spot on which to build their
homes.
First, as permanent measure of de-
Tense, they built a stockade, digging
a ditch four feet wide ID throwing
up the earth. Then some of the mem
bers of the group went back to New
Ulm for supplies and their families.
These first. settlers were joined soon
by other families, and the stockade

was enlarged until it reached the area
of about half square block. Five
houses were built within the stockade,
three of log and one of frame, for it
was not regarded as safe to reside
outside the structure.
The townsite was located on the
claim of Colonel McPhail and on a
part of the claim of T. w. Caster,
from whom McPhail bought suffici-
ent land so that when he had the sur
veying and plating done by David
Watson, he became sole owner. Divid-
ing the lots into 20 shares, each Of
which contained 20 lots, he sold them
for 500 each.
Colonel McPhail became editor of
the first newspaper published in the
village Redwood Falls Patriot,
but only one number was issued,
and it was printed in St. Peter March
%, 1866. 1t was boom edition, pub
lished solely to advertise the advan-
tages of Redwood county to prospec-
tive settlers. The next newspaper ap-
peared September 25, 1869, with v.

hands and name this became the Ga
Zette.
Colonel McPhail, who was lawyer,
also was elected first judge of probate
and county attorney at the county
election in 1865 which also located
the county seat at Redwood Falls. Pre-
vious to the erection of the county
building, the courts were held in the
room over Captain Roberts store
and the county official records were
kept for some time at the homes of
those who were members of the coun-
TVS official family. In 1874, on a
square presented to the county by
Colonel McPhail, the first county
building was erected, and five years
later an addition was built.
Redwood county's name was taken
from the Redwood River, which, ris-
ing in Lincoln county, flows through
Lyon, and crossing the entire coun-
ty empties into the Minnesota river
three miles from here. In turn, the
river took its name from the red cedar
which grew abundantly along its
banks. The village founders added
the words "Falls," suggested by the
presence of the waterfall.

81 was very little girl when my
father left Caledonia, Mimi, with my
mother, my brother John and myself
in covered wagon. We camped along
the way until we reached New Ulm
where my mother, brother and l
stayed at the Dakota House, which
had John Sieter as its proprietor.
MY father went on to Redwood
Falls and built our log house. He and
a few other-I cannot recall the names
Of any except o. c. Martin-built
the stockade and other log houses.
1--WE left New Ulm after the stock
ade was built, and my father and a
Mr.. Bracket guarded our wagon
while we slept. We camped only one
night. We arrived at the stockade the
next day and moved into our new
home with our feather beds, blankets,
iron pots and pans, tin plates, cups,
silver and clothing. Our livestock
consisted of the team of horses, a
black cat and q canary bird. One Of
the horses was balky-we named him
Buck and as my father was kind to
animals we just waited until Buck
was ready to go.
"We were hardly settled when a
French half-breed told my father that
Indians were coming to wipe out the
stockade Father sent courier, Joe
Framboise, / believe his name was,
to Fort Ridgely, and a detachment of
soldiers arrived a few days later, on
a Saturday, just as the Indians were
creeping up on the stockade. The
Indians had their bodies covered with
grass and they crept along only when
the wind blew, stirring the long prairie
grass. The soldiers fired on them from
the port holes in the bastiOns. There
were no casualties and the next morn
ing a large band of Indians was
grouped at the falls My father took
my brother and me to see them, say
ing we probably never again would
have such an opportunity and we never
did.
'The Indians soon moved off, but
the soldiers remained at the stock
ade, lodging in the Wilkins house
from which the family had moved.
"When the men in the settlement
went out to harvest the hay, the mos
quitoes were so numerous that the
harvesters had to wear large straw
hats from which mosquito netting was
draped to their shoulders, and they
also wore heavy gloves to get pro-
lection from the pests. Coming in
from the fields, they often brought
back human skulls, which they had
found on the prairie.

LAMAR 81 I
F0RFNHT

Henry Lamar is ready and
eager for his 10.round battle with
Marty Gallagher Wednesday for
the District heavyweight title. He
was in wonderful shape when he
knocked out Johnny Carey in the
first round recently.
Carey, a well-known heavyweight
from Spokane, Wash, was given
a little more than two minutes to
display his wares before Boston
fans. Lamar, it Is said, has never
been more fit for a ring battle.
He has trained religiously under
the management OF the clever
Shannon.
But the fact that Lamar knocked
out Carey in one round does no:
indicate he will find easy going
against Gallagher.
No fighter could be in better
physical condition than Gallagher.
He is as tall as Lamar and out.
weighs him five pounds. Lamar,
too, will find his long reach
matched.
In, his recent battles Henry has
shown a terrific punch But fans
who have seen Lamar In battle
of late and have also been UP to
the Arcadia to watch Marty prac.
tice, and have seen him knock
out the big Chef Thomas with
16-ounce gloves, say that Martyrs
punch is the harder of the two.
One thing that nearly all con,
cede to Lamar is the superiority
of speed. He is flash.
