Paul was in Franklin at the time
It was RACED to the old stone
foundations and most of the
household goods destroyed.
The place is rich in pioneer and
Indian history. When they were
children, the Knueppels recall,

buliet cartridges on the place.
The trading post which stood
on the farm, its former location
now indicated by a granite mar
ker, was burned August ID, 1862
The morning of the uprising
dawned bright and clear, the only
warning of the horrors to come
being the crowds of Indian braves
gathering along the roadway and
streaming across the prairie, most
of them stark naked, painted in
gaudy war colors and fully arm
ed. -- a
Alarmed, most of the whites
prepared to flee, or stood by puz-
zled by the Indians actions. John
Lynd, store clerk who was stand
ing in the doorway of the Myrick
store about a. M, was the first
to be killed.
He was watching a group of
them approach the post when
one of them, Plenty of Hail (Tan-
waj-su-Ota) drew a gun and said
'Now l will kill the dog that
would not give me credit" He
shot Lynd dead in his tracks. The
body was not mutilated and was
later buried where it lay by
Nathan Myrick of st. Paul.
Andrew j. Myrick, another
member of the firm whom the
Indians called "Long Man" be-
cause of his height, had hid in the
second story of the building.
When the braves surrounding the
place set fire to it, he leaped from
an upstairs WINDOW, taxing WIN
him a bag of money.
He started to flee to the Min
nesota river below the hill on
which the post stood, but was
soon killed, his body riddled by
arrows. He dropped in a ravine
just back of the store and his
body was there mutilated with a
scythe which was later found
transfixing his heart.
His head was cut off and his
mouth filled with grass by an
Indian to whom he had refused
credit a few days earlier.
In response to the Indians plea
of hunger he had said, "Go eat
grass"

Light Blub Nest Makes Night Owls Of Sparrows

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, July 26. Bird lovers here are worried about the condition of two sparrows who made their nest inside street light globe down town.
 It was all right when the weather was cool. The sparrows enjoyed the heat of the bulb and didn't seem to mind the light.
 But with the advent of warm spring nights, the birds find their abode altogether too stuffy and keep getting up nights to step out side for a breath of air. Some of their human friends report they are getting very wan and have dark circles under their eyes from lack of sleep.
 Bird lovers are trying to figure out some way to explain to the sparrows that if they stayed out of the nest altogether their eggs might incubate automatically.
